This session:
Fairhaven Bike Path and Center Village
Every once and awhile it is good for OHAC to come out of the wilderness and touch base with the rest of civilization. It allows us to restock, grab some trail candy (and if the stars align) force Tinkle and Columbus to take a shower now and again! But don’t let the Urban Hike fool you–there is still plenty of Adventuring to take place! The Fairhaven Bike Path and Center Village is a popular destination for two-legged, four-legged and any smattering of wheels alike–all of which pose a whole different Adventuring experience for our OutHounds and OutHumans. Come join OHAC and experience your everyday world thru Adventue Eyes! Expect about 4-5 miles of hiking on our standard adventure! Lite Adventurers should expect about 2-3 miles.
Standard Adventure to be immediately followed by a Lite Adventure.

2019-02-27 10:15 - 11:15 | Quanapoag/ Pine Tree Trail, 41.725524, -71.011482
This Session: Quanapoag Road/ Pine Tree Trail
When Adventure Guide Tim (aka Tinkle Tim, aka Lewis) first moved to Southcoast Massachusetts, the Freetown Fall-River State forest and all of its subsidiaries was an amazing discovery. Boasting miles of trails and fire roads; you could easily spend days exploring all of its nooks and crannies! Being an outsider, Tim was unaware of Freetown Forest’s mystical legends, and even now, Adventure Club has come up short in our endless pursuit of the elusive Pukwudgie!
Here is yet another launching point that has often been one of Tinkle’s favorites when heading out for one of his own adventures–and he is excited to share it with OHAC! Let us take you on an exciting Adventure!
“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”
**Please Indicate GOING so we know to expect you!**
Expect about 4-5 miles of hiking on our standard adventure! Lite Adventurers should expect about 2-3 miles.

Standard Adventure: Haskell Swamp Wildlife Management Area
2019-03-02 08:00 - 10:00 | Haskell Swamp, 41.710773, -70.838491
Directions are tricky for this! If you are coming off of 195, head NORTH on North Street at the Mattapoisett Exit 19B. The small wooded lot will be on the RIGHT at ABOUT the drop pin location. There is a sign.
This session:
Haskell Swamp Wildlife Management Area
As you can tell from the directions, this is a lesser known patch of swampy awesomeness! However, per Tinkle’s M.O., he spotted a sign in his travels, and wondered…”What is THIS all about??” There are some nice logging roads, and certainly some adventurous trekking, especially if you are looking to avoid getting TOO wet out there. Be sure to bring thick socks, waterproof boots, BLAZE ORANGE (this is a Wildlife Management Area after all) and your Exploring Spirit! Let’s go make some trails!

This session: Fighting Rock Corner
When Adventure Guide Tim (aka Tinkle Tim, aka Lewis) first moved to Southcoast Massachusetts, this state forest was an amazing discovery.

Being an outsider, Tim was unaware of Freetown Forest’s mystical legends, and even now, Adventure Club has come up short in our endless pursuit of the elusive Pukwudgie!
Fighting Rock Corner has often been one of Tinkle’s primary launching points for his own adventures–and he is excited to share it with OHAC! Let us take you on an exciting Adventure!

Standard Adventure: Swansea Village Park
2019-03-10 08:00 - 10:00 | Swansea Village Park, 69 Main Street, Swansea, MA, 02777, United States
This session:
Swansea Village Park
SVP is an Adventure Club favorite as it provides both natural and man made obstacles for both our OutHounds and OutHumans. The Park is frequented by mountain bikers and NEMBA members have built various equipment that gives our four-legged adventure partners opportunities to practice typical Canine Agility skills such as seesaws, narrow bridges and climbing walls! Mother Nature hasn’t done a bad job either with all of the pudding stone and large outcroppings that gives the adventurous and sure-footed a view of the treetops. As always, not every obstacle is for everyone and no one is forced to make choices they aren’t comfortable with! However, even if you aren’t making the minor climbs, the ground can be slick and root covered. Who knew that all of this was behind the Swansea Library! Expect about 4-5 miles of hiking on our standard adventure! Lite Adventurers should expect about 2-3 miles.
Standard Adventure WILL NOT by a Lite Adventure on Sunday! See you next week Lite Adventurers!

This Session:
Downtown New Bedford
On a whim and a prayer, Tinkle has signed up to run the New Bedford Half Marathon on March 17! He’s pretty sure he can make–and if not, he lives in the city and knows plenty of shortcuts! (JUST KIDDING-NBHM Race Committee!!)
What Tinkle would love though, is the love and support of the OHAC to cheer or egg him on. Race starts downtown at 11 AM–Tinkle–if all goes according to plan, should be wrapping up by 1 PM. We will begin our Downtown Urban Adventure at the Whaling Museum at 10:30 and walk together to the race start on Pleasant Street.
We hope you can make it to this FREE event!

Come join us for another exciting Adventure!
