I have been very lax in the news department here. I was shocked to realize that this section hasn't been updated since January! I will try to give a quick rundown of the last few months, at least. In June, a group of us worked the AVA convention which was based in Albany. Our group volunteered to man a checkpoint for the walk at Cohoes. We handed out snacks to over 500 walkers and talked to people from all over the United States and beyond. Our checkpoint location was near where the Mohawk and the Hudson rivers meet and was next an Erie Canal lock.
In July, we had our annual picnic and walk, which was located at Salt Springs this year. We had several walkers show up from out of state, which was nice. Weather was beautiful. One of the things that was suggested for next year, is that we have only one traditional walk. We are continuing our year-rounds, but we are a tiny club, and the 5-6 traditional walks that we've been hosting are getting to be too much for us. We will be doing one traditional walk, advertise the heck out of it, and hope to have some nice attendance. If you have an idea for a traditional walk location, reply to the blog or any of our officers and let us know.
We cancelled the Hemlock walk originally scheduled for August due to logistics and distance (it is quite far from our core region) and did a featured year-round walk in Ithaca instead. Four of us showed up for that, with a dinner at Agave's afterwards.
I have some photos from walks this year and will try to post them soon.
