Hut to Hut Survey

Are you interested in a Hut to Hut hike this summer?

As mentioned at the fall potluck, I was going to plan a hut to hut hike.  I realize this may not appeal to everyone, but if you are interested, I've developed a short 5 question survey to get a feel for what the majority would like to do.  

If you would like to contribute your thoughts, please complete the survey by going to:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ZHVBF3D. (the survey is closed... we're doing a hike to the Madison Spring Hut Aug 21-22.  Please join us!  Make your own hut reservation ASAP!)

Snowshoeing, and good times...

Here are a couple of snap shots taken over the past three weeks of snowshoe outings.  Our past hosts and co-hosts have done a fabulous job, and so has Mother Nature.  We are all looking forward to the coming weeks and gatherings.
