HIKE NEWS
Some of our hikes have recently
been added to: events.twincities.com for the pioneer press.
So-o-o-o Hike leaders -
when coming up with an idea for hikes, if you can get an address
for a park or restaurant to meet at, it will be easier to get more
of the hikes listed at the site. Their website needs a venue such as
a restaurant, park or building, something with an address, to enable
us to list the hikes. Parks DO have addresses!

CLEARWATER FOREST TRIP
September 5-7, 2008
Another group
received priority for the original dates in August, so the September
dates seemed the best alternative. The weekend is inexpensive ($45.00
approx.) plus carpooling, and the hikers provide the meals, etc. Many
of you have already been contacted and have indicated your approval,
a minimum of 20 bodies are needed for success (guests are welcome).
Please contact George Hunkins for further details 651-224-8933. Clearwater
Forest is on scenic Clearwater Lake near Garrison on Mille Lacs. For
over 12 years the Hiking Club has enjoyed this wonderful camp!
