Comfortable shoes selected. Sunblock and bug spray applied. Water
packed and muscles stretched.
This was the checklist for the 40 walkers gathered on Jetty Beach in
Oak Bluffs early Saturday morning. Ahead was the Cross-Island Walk, a
hike sponsored by the Martha's Vineyard Land Bank, led every year
to celebrate National Trails Day and to expose people to the
Island's conservation lands and the paths and back roads that
connect them.
