New England Shore Trek on Sandwich Island!

The New England Trekkers have had a busy few days.  With recaps from Trekkers and Leaders, here's what they have been up to:
 7/26 by Nick:
"We are hanging out on Martha's Vineyard.  We are at the Beach, and soon we will go walk around the town.  It's been a fun day.  We have been getting in all of our daily miles and are happy to have a day off.  Last night was chilly, but now the weather is good!"

"The group excitedly started their morning with something everyone was looking forward to: doing laundry (yes, the teens were estatic to do this!).  It started as rainy, but ended up being sunny, lovely!"

"We are still on Martha's Vineyard.  Today we went to America's oldest carosel, located on the island.  It's a really fun ride because you go around on the horses grabbing rings from a dispenser.  If you grab a gold ring you get a free ride.  Some of us got the gold ring, but I haven't yet. We also found a bridge that people jump off into the beach water that's about 20 feet deep.  It was so fun!  We walked around the town too, and that was great because there is plenty to look at.  The little houses are cool to look at because of the wooden shingles and colorful paints, and lots of pretty yards.  After than we stopped by the beach (some of the boys got some sun burn) and then we all ate ice cream.  A fun day!  Now we are starting to make dinner, which is a stir fry."

"We took the Ferry from Martha's Vineyard to Sandwich, MA.  We immediately started on the bike path, which everyone really enjoyed riding on.  We also hit up the beach to satisfy all of our sand loving Trekkers."


 7/29 by Kate (Leader)
"Afters some debate between a hike or a beach, the group chose the beach!  The weather is good, so that is where we are off to today.  We have the day off, so we will be taking full advantage of it. "
