Snowshoeing along...


Walk the Walk, Walk into Winter, Snowshoeing!
from Jack Welch

SUNDAY 13 DECEMBER (afternoon)
Snow Shoe At Ft Tuthill

Location: Ft Tuthill County Park (exit 337 off I-17) in the parking lot next to
the Navajo Ramada which is located across from
the County Parks and Recreation Offices. Some road
construction in the park so follow the signs to this different location (not the inmate hut)
Time: Noon
Cuyler and Tom Boughner will be the leaders. Beginners welcome but Tom is excited about leading some
more experienced snow shoers on a more difficult trail. Participants are expected to bring their own snowshoes and winter gear. Check the yellow pages under "Ski Equipment - Rental and Sales" for information about rentals/purchase or contact the newest business in town interested in snow shoe rentals and/or sales called the Nordic Nook/KickStand Coffee and Equipment shop which is located at 719 North Humphreys (former home of the Coffee Pedaler). You can call Tim Allen at 779 5393 for more information.

Snow shoeing can be hard work so please honestly access your physical fitness!
