Incoming Invite From Don Young:

Need a post-holiday workout in the great out-of-doors? Something vigorous but not too challenging? Feel a need to test your mettle? You're in luck!

Celebrate the new year and the 50th anniversary of THNA by participating in the First Annual Manly Men and Wild Women Hike at Tandy Hills Natural Area.

This will be a border-to border-to-border-to-border hike, tracing the steel cable that defines the 160 acre boundary. Here are five good reasons to join in:

2) See sections of the park known only to birds and coyotes. (and gas drillers)
3) Celebrate the 50th anniversary of the coolest park in Fort Worth. (2010)
4) It won't kill you but will make you stronger (for the Brush Bash)
5) Work up a good appetite for a group lunch (TBA)

I sure hope you will join us, Mr. Durango. I hiked it Monday evening in exactly one hour. It's a good workout, just the kind you like. I also stirred up a giant owl where the wild things hang out.

So far, about 7 women and 4 men have signed up.

Durango said...

Sounds fun. Sign me up and I'll try and make it. Are the 7 women wild women?

Don Young said...

Yes. Are you current on your rabies shots?

Durango said...

I haven't had a rabies shot in a long time, so I guess I'm not current. I'll wear protective clothing.
