Saturday December 8, 2012 - Annual Club Christmas Party & Hike

Please see details of Christmas Party via the club newsletter.

Hike for Christmas Party on Dec 8, 2012 at 1:00 pm. approximately 5.7 miles or less. (Depends on the group!)

We'll be hiking from Janelle Hall along the roads of the nearby Bowers area. See some lovely views of older homes in the area, most likely decked out in "Christmas Attire" for a house! Travel will proceed to country roads, mostly flat areas. But watch out...make sure you are bundled up in a warm holiday scarf and mittens to keep warm on the windy Bowers plains! Wear shoes good for a road hike. This should give everyone a good appetite before dinner!
