We will be meeting at the top of the sledding hill at Chestnut Ridge this Saturday at 9:30 AM. The park’s address is 6121 Chestnut Ridge Rd. Orchard Park NY, 14127.
From Buffalo, take the I90 west to Route 219. Get off at the Armor Duells Rd. exit and turn east. After ½ mile, turn right onto Chestnut Ridge Rd (Rte 277).
After joining up, we will take a short car ride then about a 45-minute round-trip hike to the Eternal Flame Falls.
Bring boots, a change of clothes (especially socks & sneakers), a small garbage bag (for cleanup), water and a snack for yourself. We should finish up about 11:30.
This counts as one of the three outings for the Leave No Trace Award.
For those of you who noticed the Bears and Wolves flying paper airplanes the other evening, and were wondering where we got those cool designs, you can download and print them yourself from funpaperairplanes.com.
Due to high winds today, St. Paul’s is closed. However, the winds should subside later in the afternoon. We will make a decision whether or not to meet shortly after 3pm. There is a lot to cover today, so we’d like to meet.
An update will be posted here later this afternoon.
Nine Mile Island - Nine Mile Island Youth Camp is the ideal setting for hiking, nature study, camping, canoeing, boating or just being in the out of doors.
