get out-lehigh valley swag

If you completed 10 walks last year, you were to earn a pack of local trail maps. Think brochure rack size, individual parks. They were nice. They had a folder that they fit in. I worked hard to get in my 10 walks so I could get those maps. Imagine my surprise today when we got the map above. It's a map-map. Big, clumsy, not something you'd use at the destination. Maybe to plan a trip, but I doubt it. It has limited roads and towns. Just what you need to get from point A to point B.

As you can see the LV is represented by the D&L, IRT, Nor-Bath, Palmer Rail Trail. No Bethlehem Greenway.

We also got a little LL Bean flashlight. It will last 11 hours on steady mode and 16 blinking. That should get a lost person found even in the dead of winter. It's also waterproof and submersible. Does 25 lumens mean anything to you? I will hook it to my back pack. My backpack will soon need more hooks. Maybe I'll ad a big ring.

One person is also given a grand prize from the finishers. The prize was a set of hiking poles. Clearly I didn't win.
