Next up is a really fun walk at Silver City on July 14th. Because it is July we will start that walk at 7 am. The Silver City Fire Department have a fund raiser that day as well with their pie and ice cream social. Cinnamon rolls for early birders and a BBQ lunch for later, but the star of the show is the pie and ice cream social. It's just an awesome event with an easy walk along the creek for 10k. Bring bug spray to ward off ticks and mosquitoes. Check the Traditional tab for more details.
HWY 385 from Veteran’s Point to Pactola North Boat Ramp will be closed May 20-July 12 including weekends. Access from the north will re-open on July 13 but expect delays with pilot cars. Construction on the weekend is not regularly scheduled, but the recommendation is for avoiding the north and planning for delays even after the road re-opens. Let's hope everything re-opens as scheduled. I have contacted the Silver City Fire Chief for his recommended route and will post that as soon as I hear back from him.

Just a note of clarification about the Waterfalls Walk. The AVA site says that it is canceled. However, that is not the case. Because Tater Tours is walking the event early we had to change the insurance to cover both days so we had to "cancel" the first event in order to re-sanction the event so the October 5th event will still happen. Wards picked a beautiful time of year for a walk in Spearfish Canyon. Please join us for some fall colors!
The next BHVA Board meeting is scheduled for July 15th at the Rapid City Public Library in the Conference Room at 5 pm. Committee meetings can start at 4:30 in the same room.
