Trip Report

Guests and members enjoyed the walk from the Masonic Cemetery up past the Lodge and on the Ribbon Trail to Hendricks Park. Guests especially appreciated discovering new trails and places. The snow drops were blooming in several of the cemetery plots. We were surprised to see major clearing to the east of the Ribbon Trail as we walked north from the Lodge. The questions asked were “How wide is the Ribbon Trail?” and “How big is the development?” See the July 2009 Bulletin for a map and article about the construction of Ribbon Trail Thanks to Dorothy van Winkle and Jane Hackett who helped keep all of us together
