We plan to take a hike then enjoy the last sunset of 2021 as it goes down over the ocean!  We expect to step off at 3:00 p.m. and make about a four mile loop, through the Provincelands, returning for sunset at 4:19 p.m. on the beach.  The hike is easy with terrain over sand dunes with a few long, slow climbs on the paved path. 

Register by December 29th, including your electronic mail address and telephone number, so I can let you know of more details and if, on the 31st, plans change if we have very bad weather.  I can be reached, via electronic mail, to [email protected] prior to the 30th.

Happy New Year!

Turkey Tramp # 41 - Things have changed - New location!

This iteration of the Turkey Tromp will NOT be at Mashamoquet Brook State Park. With the weather this past spring and summer there are a lot of trees down and trail/road washouts. 

We will instead be hiking at the nearby CT Audubon’s Bufflin Sanctuary, this location has the added advantage of being easier on the knees with rolling meadows mixed with wooded areas. Since this is Audubon land they do not allow dogs.

The Audubon Society has a large visitors center where we will meet and hike from, there is plenty of parking, the indoor bathrooms are closed to the public, but there is a porta-potty. The address for the visitors center is 218 Day Road, Pomfret Center, CT  06259.

the indoor bathrooms are closed to the public, but there is a porta-potty.Let’s get post-Thanksgiving exercise and enjoy good company in the peaceful outdoors.  Please meet at 10:30 am for an 11 am sharp start. 

Join us for an easy hike at the Eel River Preserve at 11 AM in Plymouth, MA. Afterwards we can head down the road for lunch, hopefully warm enough to eat outside. Please be vaccinated.

Join us for a stroll around Boston to see the holiday decorations. The exact route will be determined by the weather, the groups wants and what places have decorations displayed. You can expect to stroll 3-4 miles.
