Silver City is the next traditional walk on Sunday, July 11th.
Here's the link to Silver City. Up next for some of us, besides the opportunity to walk the Mickelson Challenge or other seasonal walks or year-round walks, is the AVA Convention in Madison, Wisconsin at the end of June and first part of July. Let's keep our walking shoes dusted off by staying on the trails.
Calling all POCs for 2021 walks. Please find updated forms for Walk Requests below. The first is a rich text file so that you can type your request the second is a pdf file so that you can print and write your request.
