Well Howdy!
Have you helped build a portion of the Ice Age Trail? Or hiked it? Heard of it and have always wanted to become involved somehow? Never heard of it and are slightly curious? Enjoy bunking up w/ fun people in cabins and then being active outdoors? (I've always wanted to write a trip announcement that begins with a lot of questions!)
Cecilia Welch and I are leading a trip to Amherst Junction, WI to attend the Ice Age Trail Alliance Mobile Skills Crew Winter Rendezvous. We'll be meeting at Park Street Circle on Saturday, February 6th at 8am. We'll grab any gear we need (cc skis, snowshoes) and take off asap. Once there, we'll hang out near the Central Wisconsin Environmental Station where the rendezvous takes place, stay overnight on Saturday and head back to Madison on Sunday late-morning/afternoon. There is an MSC strategic planning committee meeting to preview the draft 2010–2013 Mobile Skills Crew Strategic Plan. If there is interest for staying for that, I'm sure we can arrange rides accordingly. Here is the alliance's description of the event:
Saturday's slate is primarily devoted to socializing and outdoor fun. There is a network of trails on the CWES grounds and access to the Ice Age Trail just down the road. The Iola Winter Sports Club Nordic Center is just a few miles away, as are Skunk/Foster Lakes SNA and Waupaca SFA, sites of the June 2009 MSC event. We will arrange carpools for hiking, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing.
Lodging will cost $20 per person for a bunk in the Walker Lodge. If you want to participate in the group lunch, dinner and sunday breakfast there are fees for those as well ($8 lunch, $10 dinner and $7 breakfast). Otherwise, there is a kitchenette in the cabin if we want to keep it cheap and cook for ourselves.
Email me (Colleen) if you're interested! Let me know if you have a car (I have room for one more in my own), how many it holds, if you need gear and what time you want to be back on Sunday. Sorry this is so last minute, but if you DO want to go you need to preregister by tomorrow (Jan 22nd) at this website: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/
Hope to hear from some of you!
