Scenic City Hike, 11/19/22: Oswald Dome
Ten intrepid hikers chugged up 2,200 feet over almost four
miles to reach Oswald Dome, where we admired the several cell towers and
outbuildings at the top of Bean Mountain. On this beautiful day with a pure
blue sky and pleasantly cool temperatures, we all had a fine time chattering
like magpies and admiring views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. Our
six chapter members were happy to be joined by four hikers collected by Will
Latham via a Meetup posting, with much pleasant intermingling. Ten hikers went
up and 10 hikers came down, no one fell, and no one got hurt (despite hopes
from some about practicing our newly acquired splinting skills). It was a fine
outing!
