COMING UP NEXT:

It's a big walking weekend coming up!  Our event in Sterling State Park is on Saturday.  Even though its a state park walk, the walking is very easy on paved paths.  We hope to see you down there!

We set our walking schedule for the next 6 months, along with some events even further out . . .
