Taking a slight breather on the trail

Making a game plan.. or just chatting? 

The Bridge heading into the Mile Long Field

ABS FIT KIDS

May 16th 2017

Today was a wonderful day for an adventure in nature. The sun was shining, the temperature was perfect and everyone was super excited to get outside and hike. Many of the ABS Fit Kids members wanted to go to The Falls but we have to work on timing so that each member gets some quality time in that magical place. Between myself and Mrs. Aldrich we have a plan that should help us out with this, but we will need some more additional adult support. So if you want to volunteer with us and go to The Falls please feel free to come and join us!! 

Now for what we did today. We ventured towards the same trail that would take us to The Falls. We went down the Snowbridge and got onto the bike trails that wind through the side hill that was at one time the beginner ski slope. Staying on that trail we came onto Skyhawk Lane. Typically, in the past we would go directly into the Quiet Zone that is kind of a short cut towards the Mile Long Field . Right now the Quiet Zone is closed due to the trail being so muddy. That meant we went down to the Mile Long Field via Skyhawk Lane. 

We walked in pairs on the left hand side of the road onto Mountain Side Drive and over the bridge to the Mile Long Field!! Then we went about half way up Mile Long Field and then went to the side of the field and dipped onto a trail in the woods. 

The trail brought us over a wonderful little wooden bridge and then we trekked up the trail that leads us to the intersection of either Last Mile or Raina's Run. Original I had wanted to take Last Mile that would take us across the mountain back towards the Warming Hut. Time just wasn't on our side so we went down Raina's Run and back the way we came. 

It's always crazy how quickly we can travel when a majority of the terrain is going downhill!! Our total millage was 3.2 miles. A fun 3.2 miles!! 

Thank you to Mandy, who was our parent volunteer today and of course to Ms. Meghan who has been faithfully coming with her two wonder dogs Mia and Cookie Monster. You ladies ROCK! 

Looking forward for our next adventure on Thursday! Please make sure you communicate any changes with your child's Fit Kids plans with the main office or send me an email. Also still looking for paperwork for some of our members. I need the paperwork back ASAP or else your child might not be able to participate after this week. (until the paperwork has been turned in)
