In these days of uncertainty many traditional walks are hold or postponed. A decision on the Spring Crazy Horse will be made as things progress, as soon as it is made we will post it here. Our goal is to keep everyone happy and healthy!
Hello all,
The library closure was simply a sign of of other closures and cancellations. I will be working today on updating the website for this year’s seasonals and year rounds. Our Spring meeting and traditional walks for April have all been postponed for now. I encourage POCs to get the status of their walks to me so when I post the updated website tomorrow it can be as accurate as possible. Stay healthy and safe - if that means walking in our own backyards - then enjoy the fresh air there.

27 walkers enjoyed the opportunity to walk for the health and fun of it on January 1, 2020. Aside from a breeze, the 40+ degree temperatures made for a great opportunity to get outside and enjoy the fresh air. We are off to a great year of walking and maintaining our health.
Our first traditional event was the Snowshoe on Feb. 1st at the Dumont Trailhead. 50 folks turned out to enjoy fellowship, the trail and Diane's breads.
