The Pasquaney Snowshoe Club resumes hikes after a long hiatus. Hikes were suspended due to the Covid 19 pandemic on March 22nd, 2020. Since that time, NH has raised its vaccina- tion rate to 63.9%, healthcare protocols have improved, and a new antiviral PaxlovidTM has been released, which is effective in preventing hospitalization and death for unvaccinated people in a high percentage of cases if treated within five days of the onset of the disease. In brief, Covid risk remains, but the mor- tality rate has declined. Also, the CDC advises the risk for SARS- Cov-2 transmission in an out- door setting is low. All members are encouraged to get vaccinated in line with CDC advisories.
Our first hike, the Walter Newton Natural Conservation Area and Waterfall hike in Plym- outh, got our legs moving again.
