On Saturday November 8, 2014, Victor Hiking Trails (VHT) will lead a hike at MaryFrances Bluebird Haven Park and Monkey Run Trails. The hike will start at the “Butler Cottage”, 235 Victor-Egypt Road (County Road 9) at 9:00 a.m. There is a large parking area by the house, set back from the road. The hike will be around the 40-acre park and is about one mile of easy walking through meadow and woods. The group will then walk over to Monkey Run Trails for about 2 miles of easy walking through woods. Wear good walking shoes, bring something to drink and a snack.
Note that for this “local hike” in Victor, VHT will NOT meet at the Victor Town Hall at 9:00AM as is usually the case for monthly VHT hikes, but instead will met directly at MaryFrances Bluebird Haven Park at 9:00 a.m.
Also Note: Bluebirds will likely have already left the area with the change of season/weather.
This is a hike that eventually Springwater Trails (S/T) will have on our hike calendar, just not sure when. If you want to get a jump on hiking this area, join VHT for this autumn hike. Check the VHT website for details/changes/etc.
FYI – This hike is the VHT monthly hike for October. As a norm VHT leads one hike per month on the 2nd Saturday of each month, at varying locations; no need to be a member of VHT to attend VHT hikes. Some of the VHT hike locales in 2014 were in the “home range” of Springwater Trails (some in the Naples area). The Saturday Dec 13,2014 VHT hike will be held at Dryer Rd Park & Fort Hill in Victor, a locale which Springwater Trails hiked Oct 21,2012 as some S/T hikers no doubt recall as the “Ganondagan hike”. The VHT December hike lends a varied opportunity for S/T hikers to join a VHT hike at this locale and this time without colorful leaves that we enjoyed on 10/21/2012.
