Next Fun Forger Walks
We hope to see you at our next group walk this Saturday 2/10 at 10 AM to walk a Happy Wanders’ Year Round Event in Ormond Beach, FL. Our Saturday 2/24 walk has been changed to Blue Spring State Park by popular demand. Please mark your calendars. We will carpool to both walks from a parking lot at the intersection of I-95 and St. Augustine Road (Exit #335). Coming from the North (or South) exit I-95 and turn LEFT (West) on St. Augustine Rd. Drive to the shopping center on your left. We will be in the parking lot between the Bank of America and Publix and will leave at 8 AM. Please plan to arrive at 7:45 AM and call Ellie or Gordon Lindblom (904-230-1260) if you are carpooling with us.
