Susquehanna Chapter ADK

Rod and Sally Hebbard will lead a hike near their home on Franklin Mountain. Meet at the “Family Dollar” end of the “Old Ames” parking lot, corner of Chestnut St, Oneida St, and Winney Hill Road. Cars will leave “Old Ames” at 9:30 a.m. Alternatively, you may drive directly to the Hebbard’s and should be there by 10:00 a.m. For more information call Rod & Sally at 829-5811.

We will meet on the street by the laundromat in Morris at 9:30 on Aug. 4 (weather permitting) to drive in a caravan to Nine Mile Swamp. It will take about an hour to get there. If you have a 2003 DeLorme New York atlas, you can find Nine Mile Swamp north of Sherburne off of Rt. 12, McWire Road (in the crack of the Atlas of course, so it's hard to see!) between pages 62 & 63. Bring a canoe/kayak, life jacket, water, snack or lunch to eat in the canoe as there is no solid ground to step upon. (I tried it once and went in up to my waist!) Leader: Barb Means, 607-432-4903.

The hike on August 11 will meet at the Clark Sports Center at 9:30 AM and consolidate cars/riders. The hike will be on the Tower trails - fairly modest - and we will be done around noon. Will stop for a snack at the field overlooking the village. It has been BUGGY!!! Contact Kay Kantorowski at 547-5528

On Tuesday, Aug. 18, Julie Smith will lead a bike ride on the rail trail starting in Stamford. Meet at the "Hearths a' Fire" parking lot on Rt. 23 just west of the Volkswagen Dealership at 9:30. Bring water and lunch. Don't forget your bike helmet. If planning to go, please call Julie at 432-8642.

August 19 - Picnic and walk at Fortin Park. The far pavilion has been reserved from 5:00 to 8:00. Bring table service and a dish to pass. We’ll eat at 6.
