Snowshoe hike on Sunday 1/28

Seven committed snowshoers hiked from South Rd in Peru to Landgrove Hollow Rd in Landgrove on the Catamount Trail on Sunday 1/28. We had beautiful blue sky, sun coming through the trees, a great silence in the woods. A great time was had by all.

Moonlight Snowshoe to Bromley Shelter

Seven intrepid snowshoers went into Bromley Shelter this evening by moonlight and headlamp. The snow had that very dry snow crunch, the temperature was 0 degrees. The sky was clear with a full moon and some fine stars. The woods were magical with the moonlight coming through. Everyone brought something yummy to share at the shelter and then we hiked out. A fine time was had by all.

 Hiking the Inca Trail in Peru

When: Sat, January 19, 7pm – 9pm

Where: The Depot at the northern terminus of the West River Trail in South Londonderry on Rt 100, across from the Londonderry Inn

Description: In March 2012, Beverly and Jim Philip went to Peru to hike the Inca Trail. They took 3 days first to explore the remains of the Inca royal city in Cuzco and the nearby agricultural Sacred Valley. There, they saw an Inca crop development station and Inca salt pans, which still produce commercial salt, as well as ruins of several large cities. Then they began their 4-day trek along the heights of the Andes on the original Inca Trail. They crossed passes up to 13,800ft, visiting Inca towns, fortresses, and traveler way-stations. The trek culminated at the Sun Gate, at the high entrance to Machu Picchu, the "lost city of the Incas". To complete their trek, Beverly & Jim also hiked the face of Wayna Picchu before returning to civilization.
