ANNUAL GATHERING AND AWARDS CELEBRATION
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 15, 2006
Make plans now to join Iowa Sierrans for our Annual Celebration and
Awards
Presentation on Sunday, October 15. This event will be held at Crown
Point
in Johnston, conveniently located north of Interstate 35/80.
Directions: Take the I-35/80 Johnston exit (#131) to Merle Hay Road. Go
north about ½ mile on Merle Hay Road and then turn left (west) at
Pioneer
Parkway (a stoplight) for about 1/3 mile to the Crown Point drive.
Speaker and Special Guest
"Grizzly Dave" Readinger will share experiences of his Appalachian Trail
adventure. A former state legislator, Dave began his Appalachian Trail
adventure in March 2004 and completed the 2,174-mile hike in the summer
of
2006. Dave's PowerPoint presentation will allow us to join him on his
Georgia-to-Maine journey with memories of the scenery and people along
the
trail.
There are trails on the grounds around Crown Point and nearby
Saylorville
Lake. Parks are nearby, including Jester Park--with some wonderful
trails for
a fall walk--and camping is also available at Saylorville Lake (Corps of
Engineers) and at Jester Park (Polk County). Hotels are available in
Johnston, Grimes and along Merle Hay Road in Des Moines.
Meal tickets are $35.00 per person.
