The Wappinger Walkers Club was established in 1997 by Florence Graff. Its purpose is to get together and walk; enjoying the scenery of our beautiful area while meeting new people and making friends. The walks are on Saturdays beginning in March and ending mid November (before Thanksgiving).
Due to some health issues, Florence is unable to continue leadership of the club at this time. So, a committee of nine of us will be selecting the walks. I am the person responsible for the paper work and creating this blog. Blogging is new to me so it will be a learning experience. So far it's kinda fun.
We encourage new people to join us on our walks and hope that they will enjoy them sufficiently to become members.
We walk mostly in Dutchess County but also have some walks in Orange and Ulster Counties. Some involve walking through wooded areas and we also walk several of the local rail trails. Generally speaking we walk approximately 2 to 2 1/2 hours and around 3 - 4 miles, depending on where we are walking.
