Savage Gulf Dayhike and Picnic

Wednesday, June 4, 2014

What a day at Savage Gulf as 41 friends/hikers came together for a vigorous 4+ mile hike to the falls and back and a covered dish picnic! There are 7 picnic tables at the park and we needed all of them today. The occasion had many purposes: to celebrate Richard as he recovers from his bone marrow transplant, Trish as she recovers from her badly broken (on the Estelle Mine trail) arm, others who have been limited in their hiking by various health concerns, to say goodbye to Val as she hits the road with husband Carl to travel for 2 years in a pull behind trailer home, to say goodbye, for now, to our precious Laura as she moves to Florida with husband Jim, and to EAT great food! The loop trail at Savage Gulf is a great one for taking less than experienced hikers - scenic, well marked, and comfortable with ranger station and bathrooms.

Enjoying a menu which included various kinds of sandwiches, salads, veggies, fruit, chips and salsa, lemonade, "Gwen's good tea", and terrific desserts were: Bill Kinnaman, Madelaine Box, Donald Box, Laura Radnich, Val Hargis, Pam Park, Richard Park, Trish Appleton, Wanda McCarter, Tom Carter, Charlie Breeding, Suzanne Dorough, Beth Jones, Hank Konigsmark, Art Dees, Renee Grace, Gail Stokes, Gwen Brimer, Stormy McGauley, Wayne Chambers, Bob Rahn, Karen Rahn, Lorrie Holland, Rhonda Parks, Larry Parks, Ray Myers, Debbie Lambert, Susan Garrett, Boe Rudder, Sue Christensen, John Rowland, Pete Rittenberry, Duane Baker, Patti Giles, Tim Chomyn, Elaine Chomyn, Kathy Seymour, Teresa Dean, Mac Dean, Nancy Hoover, and Che Carico reporting.
