Julie, one of our "snails" was able to get Clyde Banjo from the Sherwood History Team, to give us a one hour tour of downtown Sherwood.  It was so informative and it seemd like he had only begun before it was over.  He said he would definitely come back for another stint.  Check out our pictures under the pictures tab. 

After, we had a short walk around the downtown area with our two groups, the snails and then the faster snails.  Since we had the tour, we had a limited walk.  After we all had coffee and lunch at the Sherwood Coffee Shop.

Next week is our meeting, but we will still have our Snails Walk on Monday morning with our pre-meeting walk at 7 p.m.  Remember, Marti will be speaking on stretching before and after walks and nutrition. 

We had another great turnout for our walk today.  We walked to downtown Sherwood, had lunch and walked back through Woodhaven. 

Next week we've decided to meet at the Sherwood Coffee Shop across the street from the railroad tracks in downtown Sherwood.  The meeting time will be at 11 a.m.  We may split off for a slower and a faster group for the first 1/2 hour and then walk together the last 1/2 hour.  We may even have a tour guide join us for some historical information.  Lunch or coffee after will be decided when we meet.  Anyone is welcome to join us.

We will meet tomorrow at 11 a.m. for our 1 hour snail walk.  We will be heading into downtown Sherwood for lunch.  See you there!

This morning we met for our first "Monday Morning Stroll".  We had seven strollers and we walked a nice slow pace for 45 minutes.  Next Monday we will be meeting at Julie's house for a stroll to downtown Sherwood for lunch.  If you want more information, please call me at 503-625-8986.,  See you on the trail, Jane

We are meeting at 10 a.m. Monday in front of LouAnn's house for a short stroll.  It should be a slower pace and not more than an hour.  We are going to see if we can establish a Merrywalkers Stroll.  Anyone is invited.

Monday night we hosted Gayle Hoybook from REI.  She had walking sticks and new fashions to show us and advise on how to use walking sticks and what to wear when walking in inclement weather.  I already went out and bought some wool socks and I'm going to try the walking sticks today.  She said that the walking sticks would definitely help with your knees, so I'm going to give it a shot.  Some of her other suggestions:  Wear Wool!  Who would have thought? 

Next month our speaker will be our own Marty from the YMCA giving us help on stretches before and after walks and also some nutrition information. 

Thanks for coming and see you on the trails!
