5/8 & 9/07, Tuesday and Wednesday, rest and celebration days in Silver City
On Tuesday we had the privilege of attending the regular weekly meeting of the Rotary Club of Silver City. We were treated as honored guests, for which we were humbly grateful. We also got to meet several people who are, indeed, very interested in hiking in general, and specifically interested in the Continental Divide Trail. One local Rotarian, Kathy Eaton, hiked across the entire United States in 2006. She stated that she wants to hike with us next year, during the Colorado part of the Rotary CDT Challenge. We will surely welcome her!
At the end of the meeting, we were introduced more formally by President Ray Davis, who reiterated the invitation for all to attend the community celebration the next evening at Copper Creek Ranch. He also invited Pem to speak briefly. Pem answered a few questions, and drew enthusiastic applause from the group.
On Wednesday, 32 or more people gathered at Copper Creek Ranch for a picnic dinner, sponsored by the Rotary Club. After dinner, we showed our slide show and video presentation to a good response. Included in the group were at least a dozen girls scouts with their parents and leaders. It could very well be that the Girls Scouts organization will Lead the Way in adopting a segment of the Trail in the Silver City area.
