Hello Happy Hikers,

I thought I would give you an update on the volunteer status for our Bear Creek
walk on 12-5-09.

This will probably be my last message until after Thanksgiving.  Bob & I are
expecting Bob's youngest daughter, Kelly from CT and his middle daughter, Ally,
will also be joining us.  I have lots to do prepping so Bob can make his
traditional Thanksgiving Dinner.

I hope that everyone enjoys the holiday and, possibly, long week-end and feels
blessed for all we have.

Start:
8:30 - 10:30 - 1 or 2 volunteers needed
10:30 - 12:00 - Bill Joyce & Dean Isaac
12:00 - 1:00 - Elaine LeGrand
1:0 - 2:00 - Dan McKenzie

Checkpoint 1:
9:00 - 10:15 - 1 or 2 volunteers needed
10:15 - 11:30 - Yvonne Mattingly
11:30 - 12:30 - 1 or 2 volunteers needed
12:30 - 1:30 - 1 or 2 volunteers needed

The following is Evelines note and link to her pictures of the Fossil Rim
walk.  It appears there was a good turn out for the celebration of the
Trekkers 30th Birthday and as always some nice pictures.

Be a part of our celebration, HHH, on Saturday Dec. 5 at Bear Creek Park.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Carol and I went up and walked this event celebrating the Dallas Trekkers
30th Birthday. It was 55 degrees and misting rain, but it was still an
enjoyable event. We did the 15K version that went out to the overlook.

I'm a little late getting out Gary's note on up coming walks. There are
only a couple for this weekend both look interesting and it should be good
weather for both since the rain is moving out.  The walk at Glen Rose is a 30
year event.

Our club has our 30th anniversary walk coming up in a couple of weeks so
make plans to attend.  I've included the AVA info on that walk at the end of
Gary's note.  Even if you don't walk come out to visit with other walkers in
celebration of a milestone.

We are also planning on celebrating our 30th anniversary.  There will be cake
for that.

Please let me know which slots you would be interested in helping with.

Hello Happy Hikers,

I think most of you have gotten the T-shirts that you ordered.

However, if you wanted a Large, we are out of those and I am trying to get them
for our walk on Dec 5, as well as a few small & mediums.

I am also trying to get a feel for the interest in long sleeve t-shirts and/or
sweatshirts.  I am told there are options for sweatshirt of crew or hoodie.

I think that all the short sleeve t-shirts are $10 though the larger ones could
be more.
Long sleeve green t-shirts would be $12.
Crew gray sweatshirts would be $15.
Hoodie gray sweatsheirts would be $17.

The logo would be the same as for the new t-shirts.

Anyway, please advise so I can get cracking on this and may be able to have them
at our next walk.

Also, if you are waiting for a reply from me on a previous t-shirt message,
please ask it again.

Thanks,
Leslie

Hello Happy HIkers,

This is my final note before our walk tomorrow.  I know that many of you won't
get it and I apologize.  I have been working on the name tags and probably made
about 20-25 tonight.  Still not enough.  I am up to the Ms but I do have a few
of the later letters too.

I will be arriving early, I hope by 7-7:30 to set up the walk.

I will need to leave NLT 8:00 to go to my office to work.  I will be back about
2 to pick up the supplies.

Here is the volunteer schedule for tomorrow.  I really appreciate all who did
volunteer.

The weather should be great and Dori is setting things up at the Pine Gully
Checkpoint (2nd checkpoint).

Enjoy the walk and be thinking ahead to the walk / meeting/ lunch in December.


Start:
7:30 - 9:30 - Catherine Guthrie
9:30 - 11:00 - Susan Poole & Jill Merher
11:00 - 12:30 - Martha Youngblood & Lydia Blagg
12:30 - 2:00 - Cathy Clark (new-will need a seasoned partner)

Checkpoint 1:
8:00 - 9:15 - Julie & Steve Silverberg
9:15 - 10:30 - Yvonne Mattingly
10:30 - 11:45 - Bill Joyce & Dean Isaac
11:45 - 1:00 - 1 or 2 volunteers needed

Strike the trail: Larry & Bonnie Stover

Thanks,

Hello Happy Hikers,

I would like to thank volunteers Carol Pontello and Charlye Jo Ivy, who I left
off my earlier list for their volunteer service on 10-24.

I have some updates for the walk this week-end.  They are below.

As you can see, we still need volunteers.

I will be bringing the "stuff" to set up the walk.  However, since I have been
sick this week and am behind, I may have to go to the office while you are all
walking.

The weather looks like it is going to be great.

Start times are 8-11 and off the trail by 2.

I have not gotten any new name tags made.  I will try to get some done so some
of you will be able to pick them up at the walk.

Light refreshments will be served at the checkpoint on the water so no cookies
again this month.  But, Bob brought the new cookie dough home today so expect to
see some at the December walk.

Start:
7:30 - 9:30 - Catherine Guthrie
9:30 - 11:00 - Susan Poole & Jill Merher
11:00 - 12:30 - Martha Youngblood & Lydia Blagg
12:30 - 2:00 - 1 or 2 volunteers needed

Checkpoint 1:
8:00 - 9:15 - Julie & Steve Silverberg
9:15 - 10:30 - 1 or 2 volunteers needed
10:30 - 11:45 - Bill Joyce & Dean Isaac
11:45 - 1:00 - 1 or 2 volunteers needed

Strike the trail: Larry & Bonnie Stover

Please let me know if you can assist us.  We would love to have you help.

The following is information on another YRE that is being dropped at the
end of the year.

I'm forwarding the note for those who may want to do the walk before it is
dropped or possibly want to join the group for the walk the first Sunday in
December.

Subject: Samuell Farm YRE changes
To:

The walk box at Samuell Farm is no longer located in the main entrance
breezeway. The City of Dallas has reduced staffing and services at the Farm
and that building is no longer open.

We have moved the walk box to the front porch of our house at 1134 Thistle
Dr., Mesquite, Tx, 75149. We're easily found on any internet or GPS mapping
services. The walk box will remain here through the end of December.

If you plan to do the walk before the sanction expires (we are not renewing
this YRE for 2010) and do need directions to the box we'll be happy to send
you directions by email. We're only about 5 minutes from the Farm.

We have one more group walk scheduled at Samuell Farm for the first Sunday
in December. If we don't see you then, we hope you've enjoyed your
walks at the Farm and we thank you for your support.

Dave & Deborah

Carol, Ed and I went down to Zuehl to walk with the LoneStar Walkers. The
walk started on the Rio Cibola Ranch but went out to the Zuehl International
Airport and on into town. They were having a bazaar at the church so we
browsed thru there too. It was a very enjoyable walk.

Subject: Crawford YRE

The Trotting Texas Turtles are planning a group walk of the Crawford YRE on
Sunday, November 8. We will meet at the Start/Finish area at 10 AM. After
walking we will stay and have lunch at the restaurant co-located with the
start area.

Since we will be closing this YRE this may be your last chance to walk it.
We will be moving the walk box to Belton (River Forest Inn) with that YRE
opening on January 4.
The walk trail will be similar to the one we used for Stefanie Welker's GS
Gold Award.

Please join us in Crawford on the 8th.

Beverly & Karl

The following note is from Gary about changes to the YRE walks for 2010.
If you have been intending to do a walk and just haven't gotten around to it
you might want to check to see if it will be available after the first of
the year.

Happy Halloween.

Carol, Ed, and I went up to Mineral Wells to walk with the Tarrant County
Walkers at Clark Gardens. This was a celebration for their 30th Anniversary.
It was a beautiful garden, and I especially enjoyed the model train section.

Hello Happy Hikers,

I would like to thank all our volunteers in advance for their time and efforts.

I found out today that I will be able to be at the walk.  My boss decided not to
work tomorrow but has put us on notice that we should expect to work some
upcoming Saturdays.  So, I expect to see you all there tomorrow.

We have the Start/Finish taken care of but if anyone would like to stop a few
minutes on the trail tomorrow and work the checkpoint, that would be just great.

I will try to bring all thw t-shirts and get them marked tomorrow before the
walk.

I will bring some of the nametags.  Please check to see if yours is made.  I
think they look good, but I am makeing these myself and it does take a bit of
time.

There were parking directions sent under a separate cover.  Please note that
there are some areas where parking is limited to 2 hours and it is my
understanding that you will not be able to feed a meter to extend the time but
may have to move your car.  I don't know that this ex the case, but I did read
that the City of Houston was planning on enforcing the 2 hr only parking.

Remember to bring a bit of cash or credit for your refreshments tomorrow.

See you then!

The final volunteer chart is as follows:

Start:
8:30 - 10:30 - Bonnie Stover, Daralyn/Ken Schubert
10:30 - 12:00 - Bill Joyce
12:00 - 1:30 - Elaine LeGrand & Bobbi Kowalski
1:30 - 3:00 - Lydia Blagg & Martha Youngblood

Checkpoint 1:
9:00 - 10:15 - 1 or 2 volunteers needed
10:15 - 11:30 - Yvonne Mattingly
11:30 - 12:45 - 1 or 2 volunteers needed
12:45 - 2:00 - 1 or 2 volunteers needed

Ed and I went out to East Texas to pick up a new county. The East Texas
Trekkers held a walk in Uphur County. The walk was in conjunction with the
Yamboree Festival in Gilmer which is the county seat. We had lovely weather. We
stopped in the middle of our walk to watch the Yamboree parade. After the
walk we went over to the civic center and walked around the art/craft booths.
We had a great time.

It is a great time of the year to get out and walk, you might even want to

Hello again,

I wanted to keep this note separate from the volunteer note to make sure that
you saw the parking information.

This information is from Larry Stover who is the Trail Master and Point of
Contact.

Books-a-Million will open to the public at 9:00.  They will have fifty $3
parking vouchers for walkers to use for the Houston Pavilion Parking garage
which is bounded by Fannin, Clay, Main, and Polk streets.  Parking at the garage
is otherwise $10.  People coming later in the day can call my cell
(281-804-4632) to see if there are still vouchers available.  There is also a
fair amount of metered parking close by - cash or credit card.  The rates are
$1.25 per hour or you can get a 'hopper' for $6 which is good for the day at all
downtown meter locations.  This could work well for anyonce coming and going or
spending the day at different spots downtown after the walk.  Most streets in
the area are one-way.  If you are headed south on Fannin, there are 2-hour
meters on the left side as you pass under the Pavilion overhead walkway.  This
would be a block from the bookstore entrance on Main.  If you turn right on
Polk, there are 4-hour meters on the right side of the street and just steps
from the entrance.  There is an entrance to the parking garage off of Fannin
just before you get to Clay.

If you have further ?s, please contact Larry at the provided number.

Thanks,

As some of you know, the HHH has received a supply of new Houston Happy Hikers
30 years T-shirts for our members to purchase.

Some members already purchased the new T-shirts.

The cost is $10 per T-shirt.

I currently have a decent supply of XL & XXL.  I have 2 small T-shirts.

If you would like to purchase a t-shirt at our walk on Saturday, 10-24-09,
please respond to this e-mail and let me know so I can make sure that I bring it
to the walk.

If you would like a size Medium T-shirt or if there are too many orders for
small T-shirts, please respond and let me know that you would like a t-shirt so
they can be ordered.  They would be available for purchase at our December
Holiday walk/luncheon.

Thanks for your patience and please let me know if you would like a T-shirt.

Hello Happy Hikers!

I will be sending out a series of e-mails today that cover several topics.  I am
sending the e-mails separately to help me track what I need to do based on your
responses.  Please respond to each e-mail separately.

I have the buttons to make name badges for our club members.  The badges are
gratis to members.

I would like to bring some to our walk on Saturday and would like to make sure I
get as many as I can who will be at the walk.

If you are a Houston Happy Hikers Volkssport Club member and are planning on
attending our walk on Saturday, 10-24-09, please respond to this message and
specify the names I should include on the name tags.  At this point, I plan to
put only the first name on the name tag.

Thanks,
Leslie Penton

at the West Texas Walk last weekend and a YRE in Wichita Falls, very good
pictures, I wish I could have made the WTTW walk, great views.

The Friday event started at Noon. We got there a little early and visited
with the other hikers before heading out exactly at Noon. The event was very
enjoyable. Good job WTTW!

It was cold and rainy Saturday night. They were predicting a freeze and it
did. Sunday morning we had to scrape ice off our windshield before we could
head out. The ground itself was not cold enough to freeze so the road and
trails weren't icy. We did the 10K trail. It was the same as the 12K except
the 12K continued on when we turned around.

Ed and I stopped in Wichiata Falls on our way to Palo Duro Canyon this past
weekend. Here are the pictures from the Year Round we walked.

The following is Gary's list of up coming walks around Texas.  It looks
like some really good walks with one being our walk in downtown Houston.

I've tack on the AVA info for our walk following Gary's note for those who
need to know how to get there.

I've always enjoyed the downtown walks there is so much to see and even
people working downtown seldom get out to see what is around them, this is a
great oportunity to see the sites.  As usual I have a conflict so I hope
someone sends me a note about the walk.
