Saturday, August 24th, hike and dedication
Please join us (Foothills Trail Club) in celebrating the latest lean-to which will be dedicated to Wally Wood, founding father of the Finger Lakes Trail, and Mabel James, founder of the Conservation Trail. This special lean-to is one of those used as part of our display at the International Trails Symposium in Syracuse in May, so now it has been reassembled into its final location, on Map M3/CT3, a short distance west of Salamanca Road.
Please NOTE: at the same time as our event is going on there will also be an orienteering event. The Buffalo Orienteering Club is holding the Ellicottville Adventure Run & Hike with long and short components, so we will run into people going all different directions. This is a competition with prizes for the winners. So please keep your eyes out for the runners as they race against the clock to get all of the flags.
We have 3 hikes scheduled to the dedication after which we will enjoy hot dogs (weather permitting) supplied by Finger Lakes Trail Conference. Sorry no dogs allowed on Foothills hikes.
