TRAILS HIKED AND TRAIL CONDITIONS ENCOUNTERED:
All the trails were clear
of snow and we did not hike with microspikes as most of the trail was
dry ground. There were, however, occasional patches of ice
that we would call out to the group. Ken Cohen slipped on one
patch and fell hard on his left shoulder, he did not hit his head and
there were no other injuries. I offered to walk him out, but he
wanted to continue the hike.
WEATHER CONDITIONS FOR
HIKE: cloudy, dry, clear, low 30’s

Committee Chair ASAP with any medical emergencies or other serious
