Kids Outing Woodswalk Best Dates?????

[trout]

Let get some input on dates for a day long outing in the woods with the kids.
Fishing can be done in the beaver flooding and the river.
Easy day no pressure fun for all.
Pick some dates and let's get this rolling.
I do want to take some time in the a.m to seek out the salamanders before lunch.
Also in the a.m. all can take part in IDing plants and taking pictures of some very special plants in the S.E. Michigan Woods. ( PORT HURON SGA)
I am open to ideas that we can keep people intersted in.
Lunch on a very remote outlook anf then fishing and catching frogs in the afternoon.
I may even set some live turtle traps before the event so we may get to see some really big snappers!
DATES? DATES? DATES?
In June after all the turkey hunting is over
Also if the demand is great I will have a second trip the next day or following weekend.

The 18th or the 19th would work for us. So would the 12th but the other dates are better.

Howdy-

I'd suggest skipping Father's Day to avoid potential scheduling conflicts.

Any date is good for us! ;)

I was thinking earlier, while the trilliums, skunk cabbage and ramps are still going strong. Whenever is good with me as long as it isn't the first weekend of June.:)

Just about any Sunday for my two daughters and I.

Father's day actually works pretty well for me, but I see what the rest of you decide.
I am probably going to take my dad fishing on a weekday before or after Father's day, so there is not a conflict for me on the 18th or 19th.

Let's try to set a date
Post in this thread your choices
June

4 or 5

11 or 12

18 or 19

25 or 26
It has to be in June as there are turkey hunters in the woods in May.
I can also have another one in addition to the June date.

I can make any weekend.
Thanks,
Kirk

June 5 or 26.

What can we do to help?

[Rondevous]

I have decided to do the woodswalks every Sunday in June.

That way there is no conflicts.

Hopefully some of you can make it :)

I'll post where to meet and times and what to bring in May.
A small day pack and a packable rod are two things that come to mind.
Camera, Bug dope, your lunch, drink in PLASTIC CONTAINERS/ NO GLASS!
The walk is not short but it is taken over time so it's not a race.
I advise if you or your childrn have serious health risks, perhaps you should pass on this.
I am only a navigator for the day not the GUIDE.
I'll make sure you get in and out directionaly.
You'll learn stuff too.
No beer wine or whiskey please. :lol: that goes for the parents too.

If you have a butterfly net, bring it, if you have a small collection net for water bring that.
Think of this as a Michigan outdoor collection safari for KIDS.
Every Sunday in June, Repeats Welcome Too

OK.... we are getting close to the dates.

I have to excuse myself from the first weekend in June.

I will be Muskie fishing.

We will meet every Sunday in June thereafter.

Kingsly and Metcalf roads, in St Clair County is the spot.

I will post a Mapquest link, but disregard any red star and look for the Kingsley Metcalf intersection it is a 90 degree turn.

The parking is on Kingsley just 100 feet south of Metcalf.

Any questions? PM me for my phone Number.

Thanks,

Kirk

[Rondevous]

Any interest for the 12th?

[RGROSE]

[tangleknot]

I have been waiting on the weather etc. to figure out my work schedule for Sunday. I have to work 7am-5pm. I understand you are planning on the mornings but if by some crazy chance you are out there in the evening, we'll head out there. :) ;)
