2008 CEA-R HIKES

MARCH – APRIL

http://cea-retired.com/hikingclub.htm

 General hike information: All hikes begin at the hike site at 10 AM on the second Thursday of each month.  For carpooling or other info contact Janie Reeves (614-436-7811). Please donate $4 to the driver for out-of-town hikes, less for in-town hike carpooling. It is suggested that you dress in layers, wear sturdy hiking shoes, and bring water.  Some hikers prefer to use a hiking stick.  We usually travel an hour or less to our destination and hike 4-5 miles or 2 hours. Following the hike we have lunch at a nearby restaurant.

 INNISWOOD METRO PARK AND MORE – APRIL 10 – 10 AM

Directions: From I-270 take the Route 3/Westerville Rd. exit south on Westerville Rd. to Dempsey Rd. (at first traffic light) and turn left. Go about 1 mile to Hempstead Rd. and turn left. Stay on Hempstead Rd. as it jogs right just past the Blendon Senior Center. The entrance is shortly thereafter on the right. We will meet in the parking lot near the restrooms. Hike: First we will hike about two easy miles in the park, enjoying the spring wildflowers and flowering trees. Then we will hike another two miles by taking the trail leading out of the park to Sunbury Rd. and the dam at Hoover Reservoir.  This year we will not walk on the other side of the dam. Then we will return to Inniswood and drive to Hoover Grill for lunch. The trails are a mixture of natural and hard surfaces. Hike planners: Janie Reeves and Mary Ogi.
