Wow, Where did the year go….
Old Man Winter is Rearing his head and the fall weather is getting a bit cooler
hopefully we will have another mild winter. Regarding our 4-legged counterparts
need exercise and let be honest we somtimes need some beer.

Once again this time of year we go back to our first HNB 7 Years Ago, much has
changed since then, our Fouinding K9’s have since crossed over but we still carry-on
as they would want us to do. So as we usher in a new generation of K9’s and
share our experiances with new and old faces we still hike and share some local
brew afterward.

We hope you can join us for one of both of these events and thank all who Have
joined us in the past and welcome any who wish to join us in the future.
(remember you dont need a dog to join us, but we ask you enjoy thier company)

** UPDATE, the link should work fine for the Alternate parking Lot, but as a backup
here are actual directions form our local resident and hike leader for this event

From the Northen State, Take Exit 23 towards the CROSS ISLAND PKWY / UNION
pass cross island north / south, get into the right lane and you will see a sign
thats says “Alley Pond Exit Only”, take that exit if you hit Union Blvd you went too Far.

NOTE, the link is an actual Dropped pin from the parking lot, but due to Road work
being done in the area, there are road closures for the normnal way into the lot
