Although the hiking season is officially over for a group of Aurora seniors, there was one more outing planned. American Legion Post 1992 was the site of the groups' first pot luck luncheon. A dozen core group members attended, plus a few spouses. A social hour was followed by a review of all the hikes completed this year. The review was done in the form of a power point/photo album presentation produced by Jason Hayes, hayesfoto.com It was the final day for those who hiked with the group, to vote for a name. "High Couontry Hikers" gathered the most votes.

Congratulations to all those who came out with the High Country Hikers this year. We look forward to seeing you next hiking season. Until then, don't let the body get rusty just because it's cold outside. Adopt a daily exercise program that meets your capability and challenges you to do a bit more. So you will be ready to signup for that first hike next Spring, and see sights like these and more.
