Outsiders Club hits the trails over the winter

Apr. 222020

LEWISTON — Before COVID-19 and social distancing practices, the USM LAC Senior College Outsiders Club continued a successful run of weekly hikes, walks, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing throughout the early to late winter and early March.
Participants determined whether they were wearing boots, snowshoes or spikes according to conditions. “We had some beautiful snowy, icy and relatively dry hikes,” organizers said. “Dressing in layers proved to keep us comfortable throughout the season.”
A favorite hike was with the Alpine goats at Ten Apple Farm, Yarmouth Road, in Gray. A basic level of fitness is required for the two to five mile excursions and newcomers are welcome. For more information, call 207-753-6510.
