    Central Alberta Mountain Club Chronicle May 2012 Presidential Musings Fellow Hikers: I am happy to report that our club membership has climbed well over the 100 mark again! Welcome to the "Newbies" and welcome back to the "Grizzled Veterans". Even though there have not been many trips out yet, hopefully you have been outdoors enjoying the summer-like weather ,stretching those unused winter bound muscles and generally getting back into the swing of summer. The month of June is the month we now get serious about hiking, unfortunately due to back issues I may not see anyone on the trails for a while. (I never did the stretches Ha Ha) . I will definitely be thinking of hiking to the top while I recover. Remember to let the trip leader know if you can't make a trip you have signed up for as there is always a waiting list of fresh eager folks wanting to go in your place. Enjoy the hikes while you’re out meeting new hikers, be wise and hike safely. ************************************* Next meeting Wednesday June 13, 7:30 at Kerry Wood Nature Center ************************************* "One does not climb to attain enlightenment, rather one climbs because he is enlightened." -- Zen Master Futomaki Central Alberta Mountain Club Chronicle Page 2 Crimson Lake Hike/Social Nicole’s Notes The first hike of the season this year was the 10 km Amerada Trail that loops around Crimson Lake.
