Hi Hiking Freethinkers,

The hike this Saturday, March 15th will be the Homestead Trail which I consider a moderately easy hike. There should be no ice or snow on the trail. It is one of the most interesting "city" hikes that I have come across. The hike starts from North Penrose Park then climbs up to the top of a ridge that winds around the east part of town, passing thru Village Seven and Old Farm. After several miles, the trail ends at Stetson Hills Blvd just a bit west of Powers Blvd.

Start the evening looking at chromosomes through a microscope and end with a view of the night sky! Parents and kids can learn about the science of microbiology and view the craters of the moon (weather permitting).

The following event information was provided to the Meetup.com Colorado Springs Skeptics group. I thought I would pass it on for those who might be interested.

I'd like to invite you to a one-day regional skeptics conference on Saturday March 22nd called "skepticamp." It'll take place in CastleRock.

ET, ESP and Erections
7-9 PM
The Gill Foundation
315 East Costilla
Colorado Springs

Do you think that being a freethinker stops after you dismiss other people's
supernatural notions? If so, think again. For every "Jesus is My Co-pilot"
bumper sticker, there's one saying something like "I Slept with ET." When was
the last time you took your sister-in-law to task for claiming that she had a
paranormal experience after watching an episode of Montel? Join Steven Mahone,
past president of the Freethinkers of Colorado Springs, board member of Colorado
Citizens for Science, and long-time engineer for a discussion of these questions
and many more. Then the next time you hear someone claim that Shania Twain has a
paranormal thing for them you'll know it's probably just the "male enhancement"
medication talking!

Waldo Canyon Trail and beyond, Saturday, March 29th. This hike is for extremely fit hikers ONLY. We will start the hike by doing part of the Waldo Canyon loop and then head up to Rampart Range Road on a very steep trail. We will head north on Rampart Range Road then go down a different very steep trail to Cascade. From there we will go back up yet another trail to a saddle between Cascade and Waldo Canyon and then head back down to Waldo Canyon. Then we will finish the Waldo Canyon loop. There are spots of ice, mud and snow (up to 1 to 2 feet deep) on parts of the trail.

Palmer Park Trail, Sunday, March 30th. We would be starting the hike at a small parking lot off Paseo Road and winding our way up to the top of the park. Then returning back to the parking lot. The paths taken will depend on the desires of the group that attends this hike. I consider this hike a relatively easy hike. The trail may be icy and/or muddy in spots. To get to the parking lot from Union Blvd, go east on Circle Drive to the first left turn onto Paseo Road. You will be entering Palmer Park in about 0.8 mile.

Steven Mahone (non-theist) v. RC Metcalf (theist)

Come and hear two views on what life means now and what it means after we die. Is there one god, many gods, or no gods at all? Is life what we make of it? Or is there good reason to believe that a deity takes a personal interest in his/her creation? Is the soul a metaphor or is it something separate and eternal from the material? Bring your questions and a friend!
