PLACE ODYSSEY 2008 How well do we know the amazing place that we live? Join an off-season Yosemite National Park ranger-naturalist (and native of the Finger Lakes) for a multi-day, arduous walking adventure, back to Ithaca. Our journey will start on the shores of Seneca Lake. Walk stories of the land, practicing a language of landscape, as we make our way back to Ithaca. It will not be the same Ithaca that you left two and a half days before. This is a pilgrimage of sorts toward a deeper understanding of our place (and time) in this rich Finger Lakes landscape. Through the many miles we walk, we will hopefully come to a different understanding of both body and mind. Cost: $150 May 4 (midday) - May 6 (evening) Limited to 6 participants (sign up early!) Included in price: Natural history interpretation Cultural history interpretation An abundance of delicious local foods A night each of rustic and luxurious lodging Transportation from Ithaca to the starting point Local wine, cheese and chocolate tastings Snacks and fine tea What YOU need to bring: A good pair of hiking shoes A sense of adventure and endurance Contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (607) 279-7509 _______________________________________________ For more information about sustainability in the Tompkins County area, please visit: http://www.sustainabletompkins.org/ RSS, archives, subscription & listserv information for: [email protected] http://lists.mutualaid.org/mailman/listinfo/sustainabletompkins free hosting by http://www.mutualaid.org
