We had a great hike last week led by Michael Fralich (thanks Michael) on the Norumbega Chapel and Stream Loop Trails.  We enjoyed lovely views of Talking Brook and a beaver pond while getting some moderate uphill and downhill exercise.  We had 14 in our group and I observed lots of chatting as we progressed through the trail. Michael shared some of the history of the trail and some fun stories from his time at Norumbega. 

The next low-impact walk/hike will be Wednesday, May 18, 10 am, at 520 Penney Road, New Gloucester.  We walked on this private trail back in January and have been invited back by Frank and Yvette Knight to enjoy spring on their property which borders the Royal River. The location is at 520 Penney Road which is ½ mile from the Intervale Road (231).  You will proceed down a long driveway that is marked Rail Road.  There is ample parking near the house at the end of Rail Road.  We will not need snowshoes this time, but beware the ticks and other bugs are out in force.  Please dress and prepare accordingly.

See you on the trail,
