SUMMARY:Friday GAIT Night Winter Walk Group (multiple locations)
DESCRIPTION:**🚶‍➡️🚶‍♀️🌛🌃🥾Friday GAIT Night Winter Walk Group (multiple locations)** \nMy PhD Winter term is lighter compared to last 2 terms🥳💃🎉 … so I am going to plan a **weekly 1-2 hour moderate walking FRIDAY GAIT NIGHT experience** along Michiana’s night-friendly pathways. I will try to keep it interesting with a variety of locations. \n**As Always there is possibility** of gathering for some warming vittles/bevvies after our healthy jaunt (First Fridays in the downtown area & by group vote and nearby locations for other walks — I am an early bird to rise person\, so I may or may not join the group – depends on the evening!!). \n**GAIT:** Primarily paved walkways\, but anticipate recent wet\, slush\, ice possibilities under the dark night lighting of street lights. We will gauge or group GAIT accordingly – nobody left behind! Typically about 2.5-3 miles per hour – allowing for chatting and a good heartrate in wintry conditions. I usually gauge it by the time 40ishy minutes forward\, 45ishy minutes back. \n*Let me know if you have a favorite suggestion in your area!* \n**THESE are all weather-dependent; anything that threatens frozen nosies & toesies will be rescheduled** (if I end up with a big exam that I need to study for\, I may ask for a volunteer leader of the hike – but as mentioned\, I have an easier flow this term) \n**SCHEDULED:** \n1. **1st** Walk: Dec 27th SBN Pinhook park to Coal Line Trail Riverwalk\n2. **2nd** Walk Jan 3rd SBN Farmers Market to Old Madison Riverwalk (1st Fri)\n3. **3rd** Walk Jan 10th MISH Ironworks Lot Riverwalk loop\n4. **4th** Walk Jan 17th ND Notre Dame Lake Loops\n**TENTATIVE TBD SOON….**\n5. 5th Walk Jan 24th ELKHART River Walk… I am not terribly familiar\, if someone wants to lead us! Or we can figure it out together.\n6. 6th Walk Jan 31st SBN Perkins thru St Mary’s Coal Line Riverwalk\n7. 7th Walk Feb 7th SBN NILES River Walk… I am not terribly familiar\, if someone wants to lead us! Or we can figure it out together.\n8. 8th Walk Feb 14th…..ideas?! \n****I will try to schedule out a month or more so WE can plan ahead!! Again\, let me know if you have favorite night walks in Michiana & surrounding.** \n**WEATHER NOTE**: All January and February events will have the weather caveat. Negative wind chills and winds over 10mph could create a rescheduling or canceling situation\, with some discussion amongst the group beforehand. Always check the comments before heading out the door!! Proper attire is a MUST!! Parks are likely to have multiple terrain/gooshy conditions. \n**😃🤗✌️🕊️🙋‍♀️As always\, kindness and inclusivity are a must – EVERYONE is WELCOME! Say Hi to everyone and strike up a chat with anyone/everyone who seems to be on their own. Many of US are social-loners and need a bit of warming up with a smile.**

SUMMARY:Friday GAIT Night Winter Walk Group (multiple locations)
DESCRIPTION:**🚶‍➡️🚶‍♀️🌛🌃🥾Friday GAIT Night Winter Walk Group (multiple locations)** \nMy PhD Winter term is lighter compared to last 2 terms🥳💃🎉 … so I am going to plan a **weekly 1-2 hour moderate walking FRIDAY GAIT NIGHT experience** along Michiana’s night-friendly pathways. I will try to keep it interesting with a variety of locations. \n**As Always there is possibility** of gathering for some warming vittles/bevvies after our healthy jaunt (First Fridays in the downtown area & by group vote and nearby locations for other walks — I am an early bird to rise person\, so I may or may not join the group – depends on the evening!!). \n**GAIT:** Primarily paved walkways\, but anticipate recent wet\, slush\, ice possibilities under the dark night lighting of street lights. We will gauge or group GAIT accordingly – nobody left behind! Typically about 2.5-3 miles per hour – allowing for chatting and a good heartrate in wintry conditions. I usually gauge it by the time 40ishy minutes forward\, 45ishy minutes back. \n*Let me know if you have a favorite suggestion in your area!* \n**THESE are all weather-dependent; anything that threatens frozen nosies & toesies will be rescheduled** (if I end up with a big exam that I need to study for\, I may ask for a volunteer leader of the hike – but as mentioned\, I have an easier flow this term) \n**SCHEDULED:** \n1. **1st** Walk: Dec 27th SBN Pinhook park to Coal Line Trail Riverwalk\n2. **2nd** Walk Jan 3rd SBN Farmers Market to Old Madison Riverwalk (1st Fri)\n3. **3rd** Walk Jan 10th MISH Ironworks Lot Riverwalk loop\n4. **4th** Walk Jan 17th ND Notre Dame Lake Loops\n**TENTATIVE TBD SOON….**\n5. 5th Walk Jan 24th ELKHART River Walk… I am not terribly familiar\, if someone wants to lead us! Or we can figure it out together.\n6. 6th Walk Jan 31st SBN Perkins thru St Mary’s Coal Line Riverwalk\n7. 7th Walk Feb 7th SBN NILES River Walk… I am not terribly familiar\, if someone wants to lead us! Or we can figure it out together.\n8. 8th Walk Feb 14th…..ideas?! \n****I will try to schedule out a month or more so WE can plan ahead!! Again\, let me know if you have favorite night walks in Michiana & surrounding.** \n**WEATHER NOTE**: All January and February events will have the weather caveat. Negative wind chills and winds over 10mph could create a rescheduling or canceling situation\, with some discussion amongst the group beforehand. Always check the comments before heading out the door!! Proper attire is a MUST!! Parks are likely to have multiple terrain/gooshy conditions. \n**😃🤗✌️🕊️🙋‍♀️As always\, kindness and inclusivity are a must – EVERYONE is WELCOME! Say Hi to everyone and strike up a chat with anyone/everyone who seems to be on their own. Many of US are social-loners and need a bit of warming up with a smile.**

SUMMARY:Sun Morning Hike- Lydick Bog
DESCRIPTION:This is 10am ET\, 9am CT \nQuick morning hike to a new location on the trails in Lydick Bog. The bog is part of the Shirley Heinze Trust. This isn’t a very long hike but it’s Sunday morning so we will keep it simple.\nHere is a link that tells you a light bit about the trail\nhttps://heinzetrust.org \nWe will meet in the parking lot. \nThe hike only takes an hour\, we can make plans to go to the chocolate cafe and dinosaur museum after. There is also a small hiking trail there.\nThe Continental Divide Trail is 0.5 miles and has a lookout where you can see the Golden Dome on the Notre Dame Campus. Here is a link\nhttps://www.indianadinosaurmuseum.org/trail-system/\nhttps://www.indianadinosaurmuseum.org/location/indiana-dinosaur-museum/ \nIf you would just like to meet us at the Chocolate Cafe\, we should be there at or around 11am. \nI only have until 11:30 on Sunday’s but I’m sure there will be someone to join you in a dinosaur tour if you would like to take the tour. The tickets are $25 for the tour.\nThe cafe is open to everyone.\nYou can also take a tour of the chocolate cafe and see how the magic is made.\nA lot of options\, let me know if you have any questions. \nI updated the address but meetup sometimes directs you to the wrong location\, so put it in your own gps to be sure. Traveling east on US 20\, the bog is located just after the curve\, on the south side\, a bit past Quince Rd. There is a large sign. 😊 \nRhonda
