Happy New Year!
RECENT WALKS:
We didn't walk, but we had a nice gathering in Brighton at
the Yum Yum Tree. I distributed the 2008 slugs for the YRE stamps to
the trailmasters that were there. We had a small gift exchange that
was fun.
Rob, Roxie, Eunice, Joan, Karen K, and Teresa at the Yum Yum
Tree.
COMING UP NEXT:
Our group walk in Plymouth will take in the Ice
Festival. So join us for a 6K walk and views of the ice sculptures
(keep your fingers crossed!) We'll meet at Bode's at 2pm on Saturday
the 26th (we had guessed the festival would be on the 19th when we
originally scheduled this walk). AGAIN, THE PLYMOUTH GROUP
WALK IS ON THE 26th!!
In
the meantime, if the weather comes up nice, then ask someone out to walk
your nearby YRE. I did part of the Mason YRE today, to test out my
new AVA Tyvek jacket. It's a nice windbreaker, but holds moisture
in.
The Mid-America
Regional Conference is going to be at the Eastland Suites &
Conference Center in Urbana, IL on March 8 and 9. Our van trip will
be leaving Lansing on Friday, March 7 at 1 pm and returning on Sunday,
March 9. There will be a walk
on the campus of the University of Illinois on Saturday the 8th
and another walk through
a local park on Sunday, March 9. There will also be a swim
event on both days. If you want to
reserve a seat in our van, we can pick you up on the way. We'll be taking the I-69
from Lansing through Fort Wayne down to Indianapolis, then taking the I-74 over to
Champaign-Urbana. Once you make your hotel reservations (info on the AVA pages
above), then contact me to reserve your seat in the van.
We'll share the cost of the van rental, which I'm guessing
will run about $80 - $100. Please send a $25 deposit to reserve
your seat for this trip.
Memorial Day weekend we'll do our 2008
Trip to the Mammoth Cave region in Kentucky. Plans are being
formed in cooperation with a local club down there. They will meet
in late October to get back with us about their plans. In general,
the trip will leave early on Saturday, May 24 from Lansing and head
through Ohio into Kentucky where we'll do a walk in Bernheim
Arboretum. On Sunday, May 25, there'll hopefully be an event in
Mammoth Caves. Then on Monday, we'll do the 2
state walk in Louisville , and then
head home. We'll be
taking a van, unless we get enough folks for a bus. Please
send a $25 deposit to reserve your seat for this trip.
