Wampum Chapter Meeting, Monday, Aug 16th


* Members, non members, visitors, guests, distinguished guests, distinguished visitors, in laws, out laws, and all others are invited. Come on out and enjoy the evening along the North Fork of Little Beaver Creek.

Good Evening Fellow NCTr's:

I know I am driving Maa Garrett crazy for not talking about it directly until now (and I apologize for not having my act together) but the August Wampum Chapter meeting is scheduled for this upcoming Monday, the 16th at the shelter at Watt's Mill.

Cathy said it best in her email to me this morning, "..... y'all, just come on out about 6:00 PM on Monday, August 16th, to Watts Mill and we'll greet, meet, eat, and get "neat" with a new trail into the hiker-shelter...gotta protect that hiker-shelterfrom the local hoodlums...".

Dinner is a wienie roast (the sticks from last month's outing are still there)/ potluck picnic. Please let Cathy know via email DCGCAG@gmail.com what you are bringing so we know we have the menu covered.

Speaking of hoodlum-deterrence, Dennis and I do have the new access trail to the shelter cut through the woods. The old one, which was eighty yards from the road is all but impassable now, so proceed on up the North Country Trail about 300 yards from the road, cross over the short, cedar troll bridge (also known as the bridge to not walk while wearing high-heeled shoes), and the access trail to the shelter will be about thirty feet further along on the right. It is identified with a Carsonite post with arrow stickers pointing the way. The trail is cut and cleared, but not totally grubbed out so watch your footing as you make your way down to the shelter (small roots and rocks, and stuff like that). Thanks to Dennis for helping with this - this hot weather is tough to work in.

The weather is supposed to moderate a bit come Monday - hope you can make it out for the meeting/cookout.
