A mid-month KHC digest:

• KHC’s AGM is scheduled for April 9th as a Zoom meeting.   Watch for an event to be published on the website.
• KHC welcomes its (44) new members.    They have been contacted by email and they can join the Facebook group Kamloops Hiking Club (Members Only), on request.
• Resumption of posted events will occur when Public Health Orders allow it.
• Backpacking events and Camps are dependent on Public Health Orders, National or Provincial Park bookings, backcountry permits, and so on, so most are not ready for registration.   Each leader will edit her/his listed event once these challenges are resolved.
• Some members are getting out in groups of 10 or less with all participants from within the organizer’s “bubble” group.   Networking with other club members (inc. leaders) is a good way to establish some informal groups for the future.
• One of the benefits of being a KHC member is having access to 250+ pages of trail information, including driving and trailhead directions, maps, GPS tracks, photos, and links to more information. These are found on the Trails/Locations pages (main menu to get started). Each page is set up so that most of the information is only available to a logged-in member. We have started the process of adding track files for hikes too which can be downloaded for use in your mobile app, GPS, or computer. Tracks can be downloaded from the internet too, but many sites required a paid subscription to do so.   We are providing them as a benefit of membership. Tracks are ready for download on some of the pages.    More will be added as volunteer time permits.   Click Trails/Locations on the menu bar for a list.    There are new updates each month.

Some older “blog” posts may be of interest to newer members:

• Multiplying the Value of Your Membership
• Get Ready for Snowshoeing
• Many Types of Hikes
• Rating the Difficulty of Hikes
• Sustainability

We still feature “blog” style posts, but they are short and are posted to the Announcements widget on the right side.

Retired now, I get into the outdoors most days to hike, paddle, camp, snowshoe, run, walk, or explore. More information can be found at: KamloopsTrails.net.
