I wish I could take credit for it. The truth is that credit for the accomplishments over the last year goes to some incredibly resourceful, committed, persistent – you might even say driven—people. Those people serve on your board; they work in allied organizations and state agencies that share our values.

    CAYUGA TRAILS NEWSLETTER OF THE CAYUGA TRAILS CLUB, INC., ITHACA, NEW YORK January-February 1993 Winter Edition Vol. 33, Nos. 1 & 2 REFLECTIONS FROM YOUR PRESIDENT The 1992 year has been an especially active one for the Cayuga Trails Club. Plans for the Hike Across Tompkins County, which were well under way as the year began, intensified as the months went by. During the month of April, our annual Earth Day Hike was conducted on the Cayuga Trail. Three CTC members constructed a 24-foot puncheon over a chronic wet area on this trail in preparation for the Earth Day hike. The 30th anniversary of the Cayuga Trails Club quietly came and went. The Cornell Outdoor Education Students completed a mile of the Abbott Loop Trail along a tributary of Michigan Creek. CTC members became involved in trail maintenance on the main sections of the Finger Lakes Trail. The usual clearing, clipping, and painting chores were completed. Several bridges and puncheons were built over streams and swampy areas. A substantial piece of trail was re-routed between Level Green and Old 76 Roads, and an additional re-route was completed a short distance east of White Church Road. New signs (The Laura McGuire Trail and Diane's Crossing) were erected to replace those destroyed by animals and vandals. The Hike Across the County began in May and continued into October. Hike leaders and sweeps were needed for each hike, as were drivers to shuttle hikers to their cars, aides at road crossings and staff for registration. Thirty- six CTC members helped in one or more of these capacities.
