Dust off your hiking boots: We're headed to Delaware Water Gap. Please join us on Saturday, Oct. 31 as we explore, even conquer, nature's rugged terrain. (Yes, it's a different way to spend Halloween. We'll pretend we're hikers.)

We'll hike Mt. Minsi in Pennsylvania. The path climbs about 1,000 feet, spans four miles round trip, and takes about 2 1/2 hours to complete, according to the park service. It also offers impressive views of Mt. Tammany, based across the river in New Jersey.

Let's meet about 9:30 a.m. at the K-Mart/LA Fitness shopping center off 25th Street in Wilson Borough, between Route 22 and William Penn Highway, near Easton and Palmer Township. Expect to leave by 10 a.m. and return about 4 p.m.

DWG is a national park so the event is free. Probably wise to pack lunch. Any questions or suggestions, contact me at tom@abcya.org. Hope you can make it.

P.S.: In case anyone doesn't get my humor, the headline is a reference to the Nancy Sinatra 1966 hit: "These Boots Are Made For Walking." :)
