Dear Members!

This is typically one of our most beautiful Treks thanks to Mother Nature. The fall colors can be fantastic. Be sure to mark your calendar.

1. The Basics: OUR CORE TREK IS THE GREEN BAY TRAIL NORTH FROM LAKE & GREEN BAY ROAD FOR ONE HOUR OUT AND THEN BACK FOR AN HOUR - FOR A TWO HOUR TREK: Everyone walks at their OWN pace. Usually big dogs are in the front followed by medium dogs and then small dogs. We almost always get pretty spread out.

To repeat: We all walk out at our OWN pace and enjoy our dogs and ... everybody yap's at each other! Canine & human.

2. The Route: From the south going north: The Green Bay Trail is a forested, sometimes heavily forested, asphalt/gravel/dirt sided RR frontage with some gorgeous residential streets in the beginning and lots of well-groomed "hidden" parks. We start in Wilmette, walk through Kenilworth and turnaround in Winnetka. Tiger lily's are everywhere in the summer, autumn colors can be fantastic, winter is dark and deep and spring is a... tease!

Applicable outdoor masking & social distancing rules may apply.

Jim, fearless leader and dog herder [fourth class]

PS: After the trek... some have been known to TAIL-gate! BYOB!

PS-2: Membership & Metra Parking is Free. Woof!
