April 24 Gorham Mountain on MDI

Cold windy weather postponed Thursdays hike one day to Friday the 24th. Then winter gave away to a glorious sunny day. This was another Moderate hike along MDI's Ocean Path and past Thunder Hole then after lunch . . . up Gorham Mtn with an elevation gain of 525 feet and nice views from the top.












April 9 Fields Pond

Jane & Gordon led this hike which was scheduled to be a moderate 3 mile hike in the woods, but the Maine winter lasted a bit longer than our planning committee planed on. As an alternate hike we met at the Audubon Nature Center in Holden and proceeded on a 5+ mile hike on the Fields Pond Rd.
After the hike DOC members were invited to Jane & Gordon's home for a demonstration of sugar maple making AND an opportunity to sample some home made maple syrup on ice cream. As you might have expected this hike had a much larger attendance than most hikes.
