ANNOUNCING... For hikers who consider a 3- to 6-mile hike a mere walk in the park, we recently initiated a series of “longshanks” hikes of 8 to 12 miles. Long distance hikers now have the opportunity to challenge themselves further with the goal of being inducted into the newly established “100 Mile Club.” To qualify for induction into the 100 Mile Club, “longshanks” hikers must complete a total of 100 miles within a two-year span. A certificate of achievement will be awarded to all who go the distance. Hikers who are members of EHTPS will also receive a specially monogrammed EHTPS cap. A minimum of seven “longshanks” hikes are planned for each of the next two years, April 1, 2008 to April 30, 2010. Check the monthly hike schedule for dates and times. Questions?
