Sidney, I will attend when I can. I do not want to receive all these notices. Can you please stop them or tell me how to stop them? If not, I will have to leave the group. Susan

Hi, Sydney.

What attire should I wear Saturday, 1/21, and what do you recommend I wear on my feet? Please advise. Sorry, I'm a rookie, but look forward to Saturday.

Hi Sidney, I'm sorry, got lost going to the starting point for this morning's hike! Have to learn to read directions better... hope to see you soon.

I'll be bringing a friend on Sat. to the Belmont hike. We'll probably only do the first (maze) part, and skip the rest.

Hiking Around Philly is different from most hiking groups because we hike (and sometimes bicycle) off the beaten path. We hike in the woods and the city. We go places that won't be found on any hiker's map. The events are usually within a 1.5 hour drive from Philly, though we sometimes visit NYC or the Jersey shore. Once each year we go to Acadia National Park in Maine, one of the best places in the world to hike. We sometimes participate in a conservation work party in a area we hike.

And, we do a lot more than hike; we explore. Whether it be a trail in a park or a back alley in the city, we always look for neat things, and we find them. Did you notice the 25 foot dinosaur made from pink suntan lotion bottles? We take time to appreciate a beautiful tree, a low flying eagle, or a hickory horned devil (look it up). We visit museums, historic houses, bakeries, battleships, and other neat places. We appreciate architecture, sculptures (Philly has more than any other US city, yea!), or whatever we find near our path. After a hike we often eat at a special place. And, we rarely repeat ourselves.

Fearless lost explorers and sidney (fleas) are curious. This group is not for people content to only go down one trail and up another, nor for people happy to take the same or beaten path. This group may also be different because only one person leads hikes, gets folks lost, and does the bulk of administrative work. So, please read on to make sure you want to be a proud flea.
