. . . a toast during the 400th outing in 2013 and an indication group size was getting a bit large even prior to COVID and the big surge in outdoor recreation. The group outings were suspended due to COVID in March of 2020, but folks began sending in photos from their individual outings so the reports could continue. Group outings were not resumed due to too much interest and no fair way to limit group numbers, but the weekly reports remain very popular!

If you have interesting photos of your outings, send them along with a description to keith@swanview.org and we'll try to work them into these weekly reports!
