Hiking - Falmouth

Today the hiking club walked a 10 mile loop around Falmouth. This hike took us through the Buzzards Bay Moraine region, past a windmill and eventually down the Shining Sea bike path. It was interesting to see the bike path during the winter, after having spent a lot of time on it during the summer. It was cold outside throughout the walk, but I think that I was very well prepare this time, because I brought multiple layers of clothing and made sure that I was able to remove some if it began to get warmer. I feel that I have developed a new skill with this type of preparation; prior to joining the hiking club, I would have assumed that there was no more to it than just wearing as much warm clothing as possible, but now that I have been on a few hikes in the winter I know that this is not true. Overall, I enjoyed the hike very much. There was not much that was particularly new about this trip, and it was very close to home, but I thought that it was an excellent way to get back into the habit of hiking for the new year.

I have included pictures from the hike below:
