Finally, a chance ot update the website. It has been a long time and we have had many different adventures since
the last update. The most interesting of all was our summer event which included 12 states in the U.S. and 2 Canadian
provinces. It was a great learning opportunity and gave us the chance to see many new and fascinating places.
We saw a farm where Rosa Parks had lived, Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, fhe Louisville Slugger Museum, the Eiteljorg
Museum of the American Indian, Indiana Dunes State Park, the Navy Pier in Chicago, Summerfest is Milwaukee, the Wisonsin Dells,
Split Rock Lighthouse in Minnesota, the Boundary Waters Wilderness (where we went canoeing,) Kakabeka Falls, an amythest mine,
Oimet Canyon, a female black bear and her two cubs, moose, the Sault locks, Ottawa, and much, much more.
If you have something to post, please let us know by using the "CONTACT US" link
on the sidebar.
We have had quite a few events in 2008 and 2009. Major trips have included a trip to the Chattanooga area
where we camped at beautiful Cloudland Canyon State Park and took side trips into Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama. An even
bigger trip took place this summer when we went to Ontario and Quebec, traveling in a large loop that included 12 states in
the U.S.
Be sure to check the photo gallery as there are LOTS and LOTS of pictures. You will definitely want to see them.

Don't forget to watch the bulletin board or the Upcoming Events page for updates!
Due to the way MSN Groups handled their website, all of the pages that were built on that website are gone. We will have
to build a new schedule of events pages as soon as we find an appropriate server. We also lost many pages of photos from
past events. Those broken links are being removed. We apologize for the loss of this information. Unfortunately, we have
no way to keep Microsoft from making decisions that impact others in such a negative way.
Next Event:
Keep checking back to find out what else we will do. Due to an extremely busy schedule and difficulty with internet
access, we have not updated as frequently as we would like. However, club members will be contacted to notified of events
in which they might have an interest.
We are now in the planning stages for the final 2009 events. Please use the contact link on the side bar if you have
any suggestions or preferences.
Pictures from previous years have been placed in the galleries for Fakahatchee Strand, Delnor Wiggins Pass, Stephen
Memorial State Park, Kolomoki Mounds, Providence Canyon, the Jimmy Carter Farm, Little Ocmulgee State park, Salt Springs,
Kelly Park/Rock Springs, Sebastian Inlet, and Lake Kissimmee State Park. There are a LOT of photos in the galleries.
Take a look.

One of our events was canoeing by moonlight down the Santa Fe, so Claude Debussy's Claire d' Lune is a fitting
musical selection for this page.
Check out the Related Links. They are updated monthly and always include a "Link of the Month." Sometimes there
is a special feature for the month, too.
Our June trip to Washington, D.C. was the major event of last year.
We went to Washington, D.C., Baltimore,MD Virginia and North Carolina, including Medoc Mountain State Park, the Memorial Day
Parade, Arlington Cemetery, and Greenbelt National Park, along with many places on the Washington Mall.
A second major event was the July trip to north Georgia in order to
hike the Appalachian Trail. This was the third time that this has been done. There has been a lot of interest in returning
to the AT to hike another section of the trail. Look for this to happen sometime in the summer of 2008.
