Have a great New Year's Eve and there is a walk New Year's Day in Vancouver that takes you right through Officer's Row, one of my favorite walks. 

Please join us and if you need a ride, or would like to car pool, call or e-mail me.

We will plan a slow walk, between 30 and 45 minutes to look at some of the lights. After, we will celebrate at her house with a glass of wine or coffee. If anyone would like to share some Christmas cookies, please bring them along. I look forward to seeing all of you.

Christmas Boat Walk: Saturday, December 20th. We will meet at the Y at 4:30 to head to Portland for the Boat Walk. There will be a 5k option for those of you who can't do a 10k. After we will meet back at the Buffalo Exchange for a brew and food. Again, I look forward to seeing all of you there.

IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON ATTENDING EITHER ONE OF THESE EVENTS: we would appreciate a heads up on who might be coming so we can figure out how much wine for Tuesday night and how many cars for Saturday night.

I'll also be going to the boat walk Dec. 20th and I'd like to know if anyone else would like to carpool downtown.  If you are only able to do a 5k, the start point has good food and you can wait back there until the rest of us are done with the walk.  Please e-mail me if you might be interested in doing either walks.

I apologize for not getting these pictures up sooner, but I'm still having some issues how to navigate this site.  But it was a beautiful walk and Sharon did a wonderful job.  She has already sanctioned Parrett Mountain for next year and said it will be a new walk with even different angles so we can just hope that it will be another wonderful day.  And for those of you that missed the lunch, the pork sandwhiches were great!  Thanks to Sharon for all of her work for making this one of the merr

Happy Valley’s Hills & Hollows Walk, Sat., October 25:

It was a gorgeous morning for a brisk walk through parks and greenways, on boardwalks through wetlands, along Scott Creek natural area, and through some neighborhoods with fabulous views. When we finished the walk, there was hot apple cider and samples of apples to try. It was such a great walk, it didn’t feel like a 3+!

Trick or Treat Trek at Remlinger Farm, Sunday, October 26:

Another gorgeous and brisk morning walk, this time in Carnation, Washington. We started at the farm which was geared up for a huge Halloween extravaganza with pony rides, corn maze, and all kinds of family fun. Most of the walk was along the Tolt River and Snoqualmie Valley River Trail, and the huge big leaf maples and other (unidentified) trees were brilliantly colored. It’s a definite "repeater" if done again next year. Thank you Emerald City Wanderers!

Joyce, Dana and Carolyn finishing up on Edy Road.  We do a clean-up quarterly and we meet in front of the police station in Sherwood.  If you would like to join us, subscribe to our e-mail list and we can keep you informed of our next dates. 

By the way...our Parrett Mountain walk is this weekend.  Please contact Sharon at trailmaster@sherwoodmerrywalkers.org if you would like to volunteer.  For those interested in walking, the weather looks like it will be clear, so bring your cameras and enjoy the views.  The Foundation that is located on the site will be offering lunch for a reasonable price.  So come and get some exercise and enjoy a picnic.  

Note from Carolyn:
Hey! This is soooo easy with the "trash grabbers" Walgreen's donated to the club, you don't have to even bend or stoop to get those tiny cigarette butts! It takes not even an hour to make our route absolutely -nearly butt-free. Then we get to fall into the coffee shop and bask in our virtue.
