APRIL 29: Bike or Hike to the Bordner Cabin
Bike OR Hike to support the Bordner Cabin Preservation: Saturday, April 29 at NOON at the cabin. This is a #Zions40in40 event.
The plan is to bike or hike from the (1.6 miles) Sand Siding trailhead near Twin Grove Park. The Swatara Watershed and Bordner Cabin websites offer maps and information of interest. Upon arrival we will ‘police’ the area of litter and trash that may have accumulated, and listen to a Bordner Cabin Preservation representative’s description of the Preservation’s history and mission. After the cabin effort we will reconvene at Wendy’s in Lickdale where Thrivent Action dollars will treat us to lunch.
Those choosing to bike or hike will meet at the Zion’s parking lot at 11:00 A M for those wishing to ride share, or meet us at the Sand Siding trailhead at 11:30 AM. Anyone wishing to donate to the Preservation Fund in a financial way are encouraged to consider one penny ($0.01) per pedal stroke or step for hikers or approximately $10. Donations are NOT required to participate.
A signup sheet is posted on the bulletin board in the Gathering Area and any other logistical questions should be directed to Ed Ludwig at 717-507-4758.
