*Hiking/Walk*	WEST HARTFORD RESERVOIR HIKE Meeting Time: 11:00 AM Event Coordinator: jonathanclark West Hartford, CT US Max # People: 20 Trip Guiding / Event Fee: No, I will not be asking participants for money Difficulty Level: Easy to Moderate
SUMMARY: Please join me for a 5-6 mile hike in the beautiful woodlands of the 3000 acre property owned by the Metropolitan District water company (www.themdc.com). We'll hike to a rocky viewpoint overlooking Hartford and eastern CT for lunch; then wander down and back around 2 reservoirs to end the walk. The current extended forecast would indicate this will indeed be a hike, but if it happens to snow enough before the 17th, it would become a XC event.
Driving directions to the location and spot to meet at: From the North and South: Take I-91 South or North to I-84 West and follow the directions below. From the East and West: Take I-84 to Exit 39 (Route 4). At the end of the ramp take a right at the light onto Route 4 East towards UConn Medical Center and West Hartford. At the sixth light (a distance of 2 ½ miles) take a left into the Facility. We'll meet at the walking bridge leading from the parking lot to the MDC property. Please bring a lunch and beverage and wear sturdy hiking shoes/boots.
