Yarmouth Port Historical Society

Intermediate/Advanced, Yarmouth Port, 2.2 or 4.4 miles. Tuesday

SPECIAL NOTE: PAM AND I SCOUTED THE WALK AND MADE THE TRAILS SAFE. WITH THAT IN MIND, THERE ARE SEVERAL TREES DOWN, HOWEVER THEY CAN ALL BE WALKED AROUND, OVER OR UNDER WITH LIMITED DIFFICULTY. THE WALK WILL BE A LITTLE SLOWER THAN NORMAL, SINCE IT HAS BEEN TWO MONTHS SINCE WE OFFICIALLY WALKED. IF YOU WANT SOME FRESH AIR AND A LITTLE ADVENTURE, PLEASE JOIN US.

Enjoy a walk back into history. This walk passes near a historic cemetery, old golf course and a beautiful pond. At the end of the walk, we will enjoy the historic beech tree. For our intermediate walkers you may end your walk after visiting the tree. For advanced walkers, we will then walk the route in reverse to achieve 4.4 miles.

Meet at 9:15 AM for sign-in and stretching to begin walking promptly at 9:30 AM. Hosted by Mike Obremski with Sweep Pam Obremski.
