Sunday - 10/01/2023 - Voter Brook Trail - Hike Starts 1pm
Starting at the Moosalamoo Campground, the Voter Brook overlook is accessed using a portion of the North Branch Trail. It is about 2.4 miles, and should take about an hour to complete. This will be a good hike for foliage viewing, and some watercolor supplies will be provided for anyone interested in taking the time to paint the views at the top. There is also a parking area very close to the overlook on the forest service road. If anyone is interested in painting but is unable to complete the hike, please let me know and the hiking group can meet you at the Voter Brook parking area after the hike start time. Feel free to email me (Charlie Slack) at charlieslack2324@gmail.com or text/call at 757-707-0783 with any questions
I will also be rescheduling the Chandler Ridge/Leicester Hollow Hike to be Wednesday October 4th. It will be changed to an out and back hike along Leicester Hollow trail, starting at the Minnie Baker parking area and going to Silver Lake. I will post more updates for this hike next week for anyone interested in attending.
