A Wednesday Walk in the Woods event

• each event in the www series morphs into a specific hike or snowshoe event, but the location will not be chosen until we see the snow conditions in the area
• the actual details will be changed 5 – 10 days out from the event date and could be a moderate hike and could be a moderate snowshoe outing
• in some winters the snow comes early and we can be snowshoeing over a long season, but in other seasons the snow falls closer to Christmas
• either way we will get out for 1.5 to 2.0 hours
• dress for the conditions
• late hiking will be on moderate trails in the hills; early snowshoeing will be on well-used routes like Dogwood Marshes, Lac le Jeune, Lodgepole Lake and Stake Lake
• later events will explore new areas or climb to viewpoints and may include some summits
• for snowshoeing events, members need appropriate boots, gaiters, reasonable snowshoes, and good gloves and headwear; poles are helpful
• bring a pad to sit on so that when we stop for lunch, you will stay dry
• bring a change of shoes and a bag for your snowy gear if you are carpooling
• we will loosely stay together on the trails
