INVASIVE
PLANTS
Paul Erdmann from the Ramsey Conservation District recently sent a flier out via
e-mail asking the clubs help in locating invasive plants in Ramsey
County. There are 9 species on the flier. If you would like a copy of
the flier, I can e-mail one to you or print one for you, or for more
information, contact the Ramsey Conservation District at 651-266-7277,
or the website is: www.co.ramsey.mn.us/cd/swma.
HEARD
FROM A GUEST
That joined us on Gary Loff’s hike August 9th that the club was mentioned
in the August 2009 Backpacker Magazine,
on Page 85, in an article entitled “The Outdoors At Your Doorstep.”
I don’t know how they got it! It must’ve been an internet dig, spies
in our midst, or a miracle!
HEY!
LOOK AT THAT NUMBER!-
At the top of the newsletter! It’s issue number 1000! I think that’s
something to celebrate! Who, in that first group that gathered on Jan.
15, 1921, would’ve thought that the club might last this long? Let’s
all lift a glass of your favorite beverage, (alcoholic or not) and salute
the Hiking Club and the Trailblazer for being around so long!

CLEARWATER TRIP
Many thanks, especially to Jackie Lallier, for another wonderful outing in
Clearwater Forest. The great meals, all the hikes anyone
would want, and other activities were wonderful! Game hens on Saturday
night! The Osprey house is a real bargain at $15.00/night! Twenty one
attended this year's outing and 24 in 2008. Please think about next year,
so we can have another good turn out. Guests are always welcome.
