This is the big one. The Pinnacle Association's hike on Saturday July 12 from 9 AM to 2 PM will cover about 3.5 miles from north to south and will be led by Tony Coven, a Windmill Hill Pinnacle Association [WHPA] Board Member. It will feature Latham Trail, which starts out from Old Athens Road, a Class 4 road that is no longer formally maintained; so it's helpful to have a guide who knows the terrain. The journey will go past an old beaver pond and meander to the shelter at the Pinnacle, then back via Holden Trail, which is the Pinnacle Association's most popular trail.

Come decorate our mural, a Bonnie's Bundles Dolls Attraction. Bonnie's Bundles Dolls in the Stone Village in Chester will celebrate 46 years of doll making with a series of summer events. The first will be held on Saturday and Sunday, June 28 and 29 from 10 am to 6 pm and features an exciting activity that was a hit in 2013 -- your wheat pasting a photograph of your favorite Bundle doll on a mural on the backside of the garage, replacing the weathered one.

On Saturday, June 21 from 9 AM to 2 PM, the Pinnacle Association will present its annual Take a Kid for a Hike program. The aim is to entice children and their interested parents or other adults to get outside and learn more about the world of nature.
