Description

On Sunday, October 17, at 10AM, I will offer a hike at Mt. Higby in association with Middletown's Recreation Division. All unvaccinated participants wear masks at all times; optional for others. Everyone, please have your mask readily available for the times we are unable to socially distance, such as when we gather in a group at the meeting site and at various stops along the way. The details of the hike are as follows: We will have a special opportunity to access the Mattabesett Trail through the city's water department lands that include Higby and Adder Reservoirs. This is the most difficult hike that we offer. It will last 3-4 hours, and covers 4-5 miles; most challenging is the rise and fall of elevation which totals ~1,600 feet. There are no facilities along the way. Good hiking shoes are essential; bring a snack and plenty of water. Directions: Mt. Higby, on Route 66, about a quarter-mile west of the junction with Higby Road (Red Dog Saloon), look for an unmarked driveway on the right (north) with an orange cone that leads to the reservoir leads to the reservoir (west of the driveway with mail box #238 Route 66, Middlefield). Follow it to the buildings and park. Questions: email [email protected] or 860 262 2788. This trip will be cancelled if inclement weather.
