Sole Pursuits Guided Walk Schedule
For
remainder of 2008
Sole Pursuits is a walking program sponsored by
Sole Pursuits walking cards – a fun way to track your time “off the couch.”
Those who keep track of 15 hours of walking
are eligible to enter free cash prize drawings throughout the
year, sponsored by the Chetco Federal Credit
Pick up the walking cards at the hospital,
Car pooling
There are carpool times for
folks without vehicles, or to share rides.
If you have space to share a ride show up at a carpool site to help
drive. If you are waiting at a site and
no one shows, continue to the next carpool site or hiking location. The fewer cars we bring the better. Some trailheads have limited parking, and
some drives require higher clearance vehicles.
Carpooling
Locations: Port Orford Battle Rock Park Hwy 101 South
end of Town: Gold Beach Curry General
Hospital 94220 Fourth Street by the Emergency bays; Brookings Coastal

What to
Bring
It is always a good idea to wear
good sturdy footwear on our hikes no matter how easy. Most hikes are rain or shine, so if you’re up
for going-bring the gear you will need to stay warm and happy! Raingear, a hat & warm layers should be
considered. A small backpack for your
layers and a lunch or snack is also advisable.
Always bring drinking water.
Cameras, binoculars and identification books are also popular.
