This hike will take between 2 and 2-1/2 hours. There are a few short hills to walk up with total elevation gain of less than 300 feet. We start on the beautiful beach, make our way through the dunes,
From Rt. 128 North Exit 45B, take Rt. 1A North for 8 mi. to Ipswich. Turn right onto Rt. 133 East and follow for 1.5 mi. Turn left onto Northgate Rd. and follow for 0.5 mi. Turn right onto Argilla Rd. and follow for 2.3 mi. to entrance on left. We will meet at 10:30AM near the parking lot by the front of the Great Building.
We had pleasant sunshine and blue skies for much of the beach hike today. Some cooling and grey clouds moving in toward the end. But in all, great weather for hiking! Near to low tide so we saw large sandbars forming between Plum Island and Crane Beach. We returned to the Crane Estate and, had I known, would have packed for smores as several fire pits were burning at the Casino. Our next stop was Heart & Soul café in Ipswich were we refueled and began planning for a pool party. Thanks to all for coming out and behaving properly for my first led GO event. -Russell
