This and that

While I was not writing in this blog, a lot was happening here in Flagstaff, walking-wise. Walk-the-walk was taking place regularly. The Forest Service had its regular series of walks, even tho some had to be rescheduled and rerouted because of the Schultz fire. And the FUTS trail celebrated its first 50 miles. Then, of course, we had our Flagstaff Walks! celebration culminating in a safe International Walk to School Day (despite the tornado outbreak- eight confirmed tornados, big deal for up here). Also, many other walks were held and trails built/improved. It was a good year for walking (bad year for natural disasters).
Recently, Jack Welch wrote an article in his weekly column Flagstaff Trailheads about how many people came together to work on improving a FUTS trail. Jack highlighted the many groups that worked together on this project. Go ahead and read the article, All hands on deck for Rio makeover, - “many hands make light work.”
