On Saturday, January 21st, the first younger members hike of 2023 commenced at Bond Lake. It was a cool afternoon with some mild flurries, however that did not detract the interest shown by younger hikers new to ADK Mountain Club. Joy led the group through the Bond Lake loop, where we observed the frisbee golf course, a marsh, Bond Lake, and lots of mud due to a disappointingly warm winter. 
This hike was a great catalyst to future younger members events for the ADK Mountain Club!
