A Pictorial Highlight of Joint Hike of
Hartford and Providence Chapters of AMC Over the Lantern Hill Trail[1]
Under this Emblem, a Group of over 40 Members of the AMC Gathered Together for a Five-Mile Hike
ThisGather to Talk Over Old Times.And, then
Down a Short Stretch of Road, Before
This Couple, not of Our Party, Were Enjoying a Rest on the Warm Ground, But We
Soon Hit a High Trail Skirting a Precipice and We
Rest a Few Moments to Enjoy a Glimpse of the Country under Us
This is a Picture of Canine Enjoyment Caught as We Rest on a High Shelf
But, All Relax for a Minute or Two
Some Sit, and Some Stand Until its Time to go Again
And, Then This Group
Some Linger for a While to Discuss This and That, But
Trails End, and the Appeasement of Sharp Appetites
Bring Our Hike to a Close
March 31, 1940
A Pictorial Story of the AMC Hike from Cam Yawgoo Over the AMC
Trail to Buttonwoods on the Nooseneck Hill Road
Distance Approximately Eight Miles, More or Less
Weather Fine
21 Present
Start - 2:15 PM; Finish 5:45 PM
I am sorry that there are not more faces shown in these prints.The position of the sun, however, made it impossible most of the time to get front shots. Maurice J. McGuinness
After Leaving Camp Yawgoo, the Trail Leads Through the Ledge Country
The First Stretch of Woodland Before Hitting the Low Valleys; The Staffs Carried Here Were Later Used to Make a Handrail Over One of the Watery Spots
NoHere we Are Right Here.A Little Discussion About the Map
Log Bridges Over the Watery Spots Provided a Test for Nerves
Not Quite a Vertical Drop, but Enough to Make One Cautious
So Deep.Just a Mere Drop of a Couple of Hundred Feet
Over a Divide with One Lone Stunted Pine Growing Out of the Rock
Looking Over Long Pond.Still with a Covering of Ice
A Bit of Long Pond in the Distance and a Portion of Ell Pond Below
Helen’s Baths.Proves to be a Popular Spot.Some Quench Their Thirst
You Also Get a Face Wash with Your Drink.Witness John Hudson Wiping his Face
Line Forms on the Left, Please
A Moment’s Respite Atop One of the High Ledges
As the Sun Sinks in the West, the Last Group Strides into ButtonwoodsHike’s End
