Meetup group photo refugee camp

  This is a copy of all the photos from the now-defunct Eastern Mass. Barefoot Hikers meetup group, which was essentially forced into dormancy by the pandemic and finally taken down entirely in March 2022.  A google-groups mailing list replaced it, and all the event images were bulk-rescued beforehand and live on, right here.

Captions and the Meetup handles of who attended each event were not preserved, but that doesn't matter much.  The point was to save the images and memories of people out having fun in Nature, with their feet as Nature intended them to be, and to continue the decade-long tradition on a different social platform.

*Note: The auto-response to confirm and join will likely land in your spam folder, so be sure to check that to complete the joining process.  The "join" buttons and such embedded in the HTML email are unreliable as well, especially if you don't have a Google account.  Simply reply to the "we received a request" message keeping the Subject: line intact, and it should work to add you.

Message archives are public, and can be found at https://groups.google.com/g/embfh

The original Meetup "About" text read as follows: 
Walking barefoot through nature is a fun and rewarding way to exercise your
feet.  When hiking barefoot the feel of cool dirt, smooth rocks, soft pine
needles, and crisp leaves all add to the delight of the hike.  You feel
connected to the earth.  In the absence of dry leaves you are silent. We are
a group of barefoot hikers located in Eastern Mass who enjoy getting together
for hikes of varying intensity.  Whether you are a seasoned barefoot hiker, a
beginner, or even if you've never hiked, come join us on the trail.  We will
provide instruction to those that would like to learn.
