ANNUAL SOLSTICE HIKE VERMONT
There will be multiple options for hikers to choose from. The usual longer hike will be the same one done in many previous years, we will meet at 9 a.m. at the AT trail head parking lot on Forest Road 10, participants will then carpool to the start of the hike at the AT parking lot on Vermont Rt 140, 2.6 miles east of Wallingford VT. The hike is somewhat strenuous and will be approximately 10 miles long. After 8 miles we will arrive at Little Rock Pond, again offering a skinny-dipping opportunity. The walk out to the Forest Rd 10 parking lot is then just 2 miles long. Bring water and lunch. A second option is available for those who want something shorter than 10 miles. It will depart from the parking lot on Forest Rd 10 at 11 a.m. and will head north to Little Rock Pond. It will then proceed around the west shore of Little Rock Pond, and will include sunny skinny dipping at the north end of the pond as well as one or two of the usual somewhat shady spots on the east side of the lake, where the group will meet up with the hikers from the longer option, before returning to the starting point on Forest Rd 10. This option is about 5.25 miles long. Though shorter, please note that this trail involves crossing a stream on rocks, and is uneven in places with a lot of rocks and roots. Appropriate footwear required. There is also likely to be lots of poison ivy bordering the trail at the north end of the pond. Bring water and lunch. (Of course, you can join the 11 a.m. hike, and then just wait for everyone at the Little Rock Pond Shelter area and avoid the hike around the lake. That option would amount to 4 miles roundtrip.) Note that the Forest Road 10 parking lot can get crowded on Sunday. If you find you must park along Forest Road 10, please park completely off the road to avoid the possibility of being towed. After the hike on June 21, weather permitting, join us at Sam's Wood-fired Pizza, 4572 Main St, Manchester VT, for dinner. To avoid confusion, please expect to order your own pizza for yourself or your group. We will not be collecting for shared pizzas.
