Hi Hiking Freethinkers,

There will be a hike this coming Sunday, Feb. 24th starting at 9:30 AM. The hike starts from the south end of the Wal-Mart parking lot on South 8th street (a few blocks south of highway 24) and heads west towards Bear Creek Nature Center. The difficulty level of this hike is much easier than Waldo Canyon Trail but more difficult than Sinton Trail (a recent past hike).

The location of the February meeting has changed!
February 27, organizers of a local high school's "Eyes Wide Open" program
will speak at the FTCS monthly meeting. "Eyes Wide Open" is a documentary film
series begun to raise community awareness of issues such as "glue boys" in
Sudan, Ugandan child soldiers, AIDS, and life on Native American reservations in
America. The film series was advertised to the whole community, and students
witnessed the ripples in society that are caused when people become aware of

Hi Hiking Freethinkers,

There will be a hike this coming Saturday, March 1st starting at 10:00 AM. We will meet at the parking lot just south of an outhouse (closed in winter) located at 3650 Mark Dabling Blvd. (Yes the address is on the small building.) It is 0.7 miles north of Fillmore St. and 0.9 miles south of Garden of the Gods Rd. on the west side of the street. We will head south on the Front Range Trail for a short distance to the Templeton Gap Trail then head east towards Palmer Park.

Hi Freethinking Hikers,

There may be a hike on Sunday, March 9th depending on the weather.

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).
Registered FTFK members can find the address in the group section of the website. For more information on attending a FTFK event call Stefanie at (719) 210-9332 or email ftfk@freethinkerscs.com
