If the summer heat is stifling you, come join us on this moderate evening 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 shore wildlife...think deer, not Snooki!  Afterwards we will venture out for a late dinner and cool drinks - always optional but sure to be a fun night along the coast!
