Message from our outings chair:
"I hope you can join the Rappahannock Group Sierra Club for a unique and exciting hike through the Enchanted Forest Trail in Warsaw VA. The owner, Tom Rhodes, bought the land and carved characters in the trees. He consulted with an arborist before doing so to ensure that the trees would be ok. The trail is open free of charge for people to walk and try to find all of his carvings.

We will meet Saturday morning at 10:00 am. Address is 211 Wallace Street, Warsaw, VA 22572. Wear your hiking shoes and dress appropriately for the weather.

If you wish to carpool, we will meet at the Walmart Parking Lot, 125 Washington Square Plaza, Fredericksburg 22405 at 8:30 am. Lunch plans will be announced later.

As usual these Outings are free and open to the public. Invite your friends! Minors must be accompanied by a parent. No animals please."
