DescriptionAs word spread that Ian, Jun, Ruth, James, Chris, Laura, Sean, Jenn and Rich would begin a search at a civilized hour for Winter, Winter capitulated and showed itself openly in the Blue Hills Reservation. The search party proceeded to celebrate the successful outcome with a thoroughly excellent hike along the N. Skyline Trail to the Eliot Tower on the Great Blue Hill. A leisurely, civilized lunch was taken in the Eliot Tower's Foyer (French pronounciation!) replete with exotic snacks from around the world and culiminating with Jenn's deliciously civilized Rustic Chocolate Fondue with Homemade Waffles. The return along S. Skyline Trail was enriched with some modest glissades (both intentional and unintentional) along with a stop for a surprise challenge to start a fire in the wet, stormy conditions. During the challenge, the myth about smoke and fire was firmly repudiated.
