12-7-2012 Acadia National Park Ocean Drive path & Great Head

Judy E. & Trina D. not only lead this weeks hike but also hosted a delicious tail-gate party after the hike.
Thank you ladies 

It was a cold cloudy day on the coast but the thought of hot tea and sweets at the parking lot kept us going

December 7th Ocean Drive path in ANP

 A Judy E. & Trina D. lead 15 DOC'ers on a 6 mile hike on Ocean Drive path and Great Head over looking Sand Beac  ANP is a fine place this time of year when we have it all to our selves.  This day was no exception.  We had our lunch on top of Great Head overlooking the ocean. After returning to the 
parking lot Trina & Judy treated us to a tail gate party of sweets & Hot cider.  What a nice way to end the day.
 

 

Holiday Lunch 2012 December 6th

41 DOC Members attended the annual Holiday Lunch & Quarterly meeting.  Again this year the meeting was held at the Manor Inn in Castine. Jane R. created another slide show of pictures collected from hikes earlier this year.  This years meal was a buffet and everyone seemed to enjoy the day.  Some members took advantage of seasonal Maine weather (cold & clear) to walk around town after the meeting.

November 29: Bayside in Northport

Jim and Kathy Z.lead this weeks hike in the town of  Bayside in Northport. (You figure it out)


Anyway it was another 30' November day in on the Maine coast but still worth getting out and getting some exercise with friends.  

Cool but clear weather and lunch on the beach  . . . eh?

As you might expect there was no difficulty finding a place to sit for lunch with a ocean view here.

 A special thanks to Jim and Kathy for getting us out on a cold day.

November 22: Happy Thanksgiving!

No DOC hike this week unless you were one of the lucky wayward DOC members that had nothing better to do than have Thanksgiving & pot luck dinner at Bob & Sandy's house. The table was set for 13 & everybody came with a dish to put on the table. Turkey, Ham and all of the fixins made this 5th edition of wayward DOC'ers on T-Day 2012 another success. 

Poor Bob is under attack

 

November 15: The new Duck Brook in Bar Harbor

November 15:   Christina D. lead this weeks hike in ANP.  Typical November weather for Maine but it was a pleasure to get out and share the day with some friends. The DOC members are pretty lucky to have ANP so close to home.

November 8: Acadia Mountain in Acadia National Park

November 8: Acadia Mountain in Acadia National Park. Lead byMary Beth D.

Cold, fog & drizzle, typical Maine weather for November did not deter about 20 DOC members from getting outdoors and some exercise.   Actually it wasn't as bad as it sounds. I think we all had a pretty good time.
