KAY will lead a 4.5 to 5 mile hike in Wyomissing alongside the Wyomissing Creek. We hope to see the ostrich ferns in bloom. You will be mostly on creek trails with some trekking through grass and may get wet feet, so wear old sneakers or water proof boots. On the return we will hike through the pine tree woodland. This hike is just long enough to work up an appetite for that Thanksgiving Turkey. YUM! HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY!
