Year-round Cape visitors and active retirees have known about the Eastham Walking Club for years. The Club walks weekly, every Wednesday from September to May. Recently drafted after longtime leader Hortense Kelley stepped down. Don Heyer leads the weekly pack of several dozen retirees and walkers of all ages, trekking down access roads and along beaches at a challenging, but reasonable pace for the crowd. Club members do extensive research before each walk, scouting and even clearing trails, getting permission from landowners, and reading up on local history and geology to entertain walkers during the occasional stop to collect stragglers. For more on the club and other Cape walks and hikes, visit the Cape Cod Trails Conference blog.
