The goal is to get out every day and this has worked for many consecutive months. Most outings are in the mornings, and the choices are varied by the conditions. Winter days are for snowshoeing, winter hiking, spike hiking, and indoor tennis. Spring through fall days are for hiking, nature hikes, kayaking, gardening/yardwork, walks and runs, and outdoor tennis. Some days are local hiking and paddling routes, but there will also be a few destination outings each month, always dependent on conditions.
Tentative outings for Upcoming Days are provided here. Contact me if you are interested.
