On Tuesday, Jan 17, 2012 we plan to walk the roads dissecting the Hartwick State Forest and Dr. Petersen's land for a 3 to 4 mile hike. For that reason, we will meet at the intersection of Zachow Rd. and Curry Rd. (where we usually meet when Irv and Monica lead the hike) at 10 a.m. Oneonta car poolers should meet at the old Ames lot by 9:30 a.m. We will be done by 12 o'clock. The weather seems iffy, so far (maybe rain with snow, but not as cold). Count on walking in boots and add stabilizers, if necessary and available. Ernie & Heidi Mahlke, 432-2583. | ||
