2025 BACKPACKING

June 21-23: Three Day Backpacking Trip in New Hampshire:  Strenuous trip, with several large climbs, though the hike distance is short. While it is south of the White Mountains, it still will be somewhat rocky so be prepared for ankle/knee strain. Gorgeous views from the mountain tops. Note that at this time of year, the water sources may be limited, so be prepared to carry excess water while you hike from campsite to campsite....MORE INFORMATION

OCSJ HAS A CLUB SONG

We would like to introduce you to "The OCSJ Club Song" written and performed by OCSJ member Bob Steinfort. Bob, who works under the name Robert Edwin, is a professional singer, songwriter, teacher, and author. He is a regular member of the club's trail maintenance crew and wrote the song "The 1808 Trail Crew Song" which he and the crew performed at the trail's dedication in June 2022. Both songs are on the OCSJ website.
