Thursday’s forecast shows a brief respite from this Arctic air. Our base walk is 2 miles on a bayside beach with packed sand and long views. Afterward, those who wish may walk an additional 1.5 miles through High Head Conservation Area’s wolf trees, heathlands, and high elevation views of the Bay, Provincetown, and East Harbor.  

Meet at 9:15 am to sign in and stretch. We’ll  begin walking promptly at 9:30. Hosted by Sue Moynihan with Sweep TBD. Read to the bottom for directions to our meeting point.
