OTHER COMMENTS (problems, views, terrain, etc.)
The hike was the first in a series of five hikes.  All the attendants were new to the Blue Hills.  One hiker had difficulty keeping up with the group.  Therefore, this hiker will be told that for her safety, she will be unable to continue in our series, but we directed her to the SEM Thursday hikes.

IMPORTANT: Contact Hike Committee Chair ASAP with any medical emergencies or other serious incidents.
