When
biking season is over, it's time to get out the hiking boots,
and skis and hit the trails. Here's
a sample of the fun we have on our Folks on Spokes hikes. |

weather leaves many FOS members with several choices of activities.
Some members choose to head for the open road, while these FOS
members were some of many who attended the Cowles Bog Hike.

On Folks on Spokes Hikes, sometimes you just
don't know where you'll end up. |

Starved
Rock Hike
Here are a few pictures from our January 12,
2003 FOS Starved Rock Walk.
Notice the absence of ice in the canyons. Instead of mud
snow & ice on the trails and in the canyons, all that
is there is dust!
It was a fun day of hiking, socializing, eating, and, the
afternoon walkers were treated by having two eagles fly by.
