If you are interested in making hiking more enjoyable, I would suggest you look into joining a hiking club [ "Walking Is a Gentle Exercise," July 16 ] . Hiking alone can be dangerous. Hiking with a small group is safer and pleasanter. Fellow hikers not only make good companions, but come to each others’ aid, as well as share information about map and compass readings, tips on how much water to bring on a hot day, how to dress sensibly, etc.”

“The Allentown Hiking Club was formed in December 1931. As our bylaws state, the aspiration of this club is to escape the crowded city; to walk, hike and climb for enjoyment and exercise with nature loving companions; to maintain its section of the Appalachian Trail; and to stimulate public interests in every phase of nature and the outdoors through programs and lectures.”
