Trappist Abbey Hike - April 20, 2019

Published on 4/20/2019
We are grateful to Bill Sullivan for bringing this hike to our attention in 2017.  We had a leisurely hike up to the ridge and he shrine, through the oak savanna and forest.  Leisurely hike back down too.  No rain, not cold, and a little sun, so perfect for hiking.  Of the several trails, we chose a path that minimized the mud.  Wildflowers included fawn lilies -- my favorite -- and a few trilliums.  And YES, we enjoyed the excellent fruitcake!  Guests  Rick Davis, Helen Mazur-Hart, Pattie Mullane, Sigrid Olson, Don Upjohn, Todd Vogel, and Janet Wright; members Robbie Earon, Susan Hoskins, Jane Maute, Vicky Wilbanks, and leader George Struble
