5:55 PM: SLEEPOVER at Robin's Bay

General info for all hikes and walks: Unless otherwise noted, the pace for hikes is moderate, lasting 3-5 hours, covering 3-5 miles, the terrain is hilly, footing is sometimes uneven, and we follow trails and possibly paved or dirt roads. Walks are easier and shorter than hikes, and usually follow paved or dirt roads, no trails. The guide may periodically stop and talk along the way. Bring sturdy, comfortable walking or hiking shoes, water, snack, bug spray, rain poncho, and camera. Shorts or long pants are OK. For day hikes, bring a hat and sun block. For night hikes, bring a small flashlight. There are usually about 20 people. We depart about 30 minutes after the posted start time. For some hikes, we will meet at the indicated location, then drive a short distance to the hike location.

Specific info for this hike: This special event is $10 for members, and $15 for non-members (become a member). This is a south shore sleepover/campout with a hike on nearby trails and investigation of the local salt pond. Where we bed down there is a small covered area with two changing sheds and a lot of space for people to spread out their sleeping bags while we discuss the natural, cultural, and historical resources of the area. You will have to bring a flashlight, sleeping bag, snacks, drinks. We are not taking tents! We will be sleeping under the stars!! 

Meet near the entrance to the Boy Scout Camp at 5:55 PM. We will convoy from there to Robin's Bay (entrance is marked with an orange ribbon on the telephone pole). Please be on time, and bring small bills to pay. There is place to park just before the beach.
