It’s the ideal time to reconnect with nature, enjoy cool evenings, and create unforgettable memories with fellow adventurers. We’re excited to invite you to a special **Sunset Hiking & Camping Experience** — a journey from the glowing mountains of Khorfakkan to the peaceful shores of Al Aqah Beach. 🌄 **Part 1: Sunset Hike – Al Rabi Hiking Trail, Khorfakkan** *Our adventure begins with a **4 km easy hike** along the stunning Al Rabi Trail.* *This part of the journey will feel magical — the perfect blend of gentle exercise, good company, and pure mountain oxygen. As we make our way up, the fresh breeze, the vast open views, and the colors of the sunset lighting up the coastline will create an unforgettable moment.

We’ll set up our tents, light the fire, and prepare dinner together — and if you’d like, you can join the BBQ experience and grill your own food. The evening will flow naturally with calm music, cozy vibes, social conversations, fun board games, and conversation cards. We’ll roast marshmallows around the fire, share stories, and unwind under a clear sky full of stars. The sound of the waves will set the perfect background for a relaxing, memorable night. 🌅 **Part 3: Morning at the Beach** We’ll wake up around **7:30 AM** to warm coffee and a simple breakfast as the sun rises over the water.

Over time I'm hoping to organize a hike to all the Franklin County Metro Parks. This is the first one so if you're interested jump in! We'll start with the Canopy Walk, a cool feature of this park. Climb 100 stairs to the top - or take the elevator if stairs aren't your thing. At the top there are a bunch of things to play on - a rope bridge, a fireman pole that we can slide down - and more! About fifteen minutes there and we'll head to the natural trail, Buttonbush, Maple and Beech Trail for 2.2 miles then do a 1.7 mile loop on the paved Greenway Trail. We'll be passing our cars as we transition if you only want to do the first loop, or the second loop. Pace of around 3.5 mph but no one left behind. If there is an interest we can grab lunch nearby afterward.

**Caller: Richard Ades** **Band: The McKenzies** **Clinton Heights Lutheran Church** **15 Clinton Heights Ave, Columbus, OH 43202** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle.

Let’s walk the gardens and enjoy what has spring has on display.
