Marsh's Farm
Don Francis reported that the balance at this time is about $7,800, which is about $3,000 below where we should be at this time. Dues were $130 last year. It was moved to increase the dues to $150. An amendment was proposed to make a 2-installment option available, with one being due in September and one being due in January, to reduce any financial hardship the increase might cause. The amendment passed unanimously, as did the motion. In addition, Don will attempt to provide a budget for the next committee meeting.

Sugarloaf Mountain
Sugarloaf came by its name because its shape reminded early hunters and pioneers of the sugar loaves common in those days. A Swiss explorer, in 1707, sketched the earliest known map of the mountain. A written account, penned five years later, described a plain atop the mountain and the delicious chestnuts grown by the trees on its flanks. |

Weverton Cliffs
Prior to the tough switchback descent you will do well to take the side trail (blue blazed) down to Weverton Cliffs. The views both east and west along the Potomac are awesome. To the west you can just make out the Episcopal Church steeple in Harper's Ferry.
