Take in the crisp Autumn air and join us on this moderate morning hike at the shore.  We'll traverse the wooded beauty of Hartshorne Woods, take in views of the ocean and maybe even catch glimpses of wildlife...think deer, not Snooki!  Afterwards we will venture out for a shore-side lunch - always optional but sure to be a fun day along the coast!
