Place Odyssey and the Art of Walking will be offering a 3 day 2 night guided walking trip called "Finger Lakes and Forest Toes" on May 2-4, 2009. This trip is led by an out of season Yosemite National Park ranger naturalist and native of the Finger Lakes. It will be a challenging hike, mostly on trails, from Ithaca towards Seneca Lake averaging about 8-10 miles/day. But all you will have to carry is your own personal items for the day and you will eat well of healthy local and place-conscious foods. The first night will be spent camping in a natural forest setting (everything provided) and the next night we'll stay at a luxurious bed and breakfast on Cayuta Lake. Many pleasant surprises will greet us along the way... The price of $260 includes: Environmental interpretation (learn about wildflowers and edible plants, local geology and stars in the night sky) Cultural history interpretation (gain a greater appreciation for those who have walked here before us) Meals of delicious place-conscious foods All lodging (one night of rustic camping and one in a luxurious bed and breakfast) Transportation other than your own two feet when necessary Tastings of local products such as wine, cheese and chocolate A poetry reading and workshop with the Poet Laureate of Ithaca Fun snacks and fine tea Please check out the Place Odyssey website at www.place-odyssey.com To keep the group small, we are limited to 14 participants. Spaces are already filling up so if you are interested, act now! Reply to this e-mail [[email protected]] or call 279-7509 with any questions or to reserve a space...and please pass this on to anyone who you think might be interested. Looking forward to hearing from you, Adrianna (trip leader) _______________________________________________ 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 Questions about the list? ask [email protected] free hosting by http://www.mutualaid.org
