The following trip reports of our completed trips were given:
- Lake Placid – Leader Bill Hoffman reported that six people enjoyed a hiking trip in Lake Placid. There were two hours of skiing before the snow changed to freezing rain. Bill booked the same rental house for both MLK and Presidents’ Day holiday next year. We have until March to decide which weekend fits into our 2008 schedule.
- Lapland Lake – Rick Begley reported that snow was scarce at Lapland Lake. The only skiing was on the lake. On the way home some skied at Salmon Hills.
- Pulaski – Leader Peggy Hampton reported that the 1880s House treated us well. It was a wonderful trip with a lot of wonderful snow.
- Black Forest – Leader Joan Short reported that 12 people skied for three days because there was snow.
- Tug Hill – Leader Bill Stine reported that there were great conditions this past weekend at Tug Hill. 14 people enjoyed their stay at the Allegro Guest House. The BREA trails were wonderful and the trails were perfectly groomed.
We all hoped that the snow gods would be kind to us on the upcoming trips:
- Garnet Hill February 16 – 19 – Leader Bill Stine reported that the trip is full with 14 participants.
- Ottawa February 19 – 23. Leader Jan Powell announced that 22 have signed up so far. Reservations will have to be finalized in about a week.
- Inlet March 2 – 5. Leader Bill Pickering announced that Inlet was full with 12 people in 3 condos.
- Winter Park March 10 – 17. Leader Carolyn announced that ten people have signed up for the trip. The trip is still open since the cabin holds up to 25 people. However, if you decide to go, you must make your own airline arrangements. Carolyn asked trip participants to stay after the meeting for a quick meeting.
- Tonight - a travelogue on biking in Eastern Europe presented by the Majors.
- Wednesday February 21, 2006 – Social at the Bangkok Wok in Mechanicsburg.
- Tuesday March 6, 2006 – A program about their volunteer assignment at Utah’s Natural Bridges National Monument last summer presented by the Richters.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:35.
The Majors gave an entertaining presentation about their three week bike trip last summer from Vienna to Prague, Bratislava, and Budapest. One of the most unusual places they visited was an ossuary that featured caves of human bones and a chapel with decorations made from human bones.
Frank Geiger won the $25 gift certificate for Wildware Back Country.
