Extra! Extra! Read all about it!
Anyone who would like to participate on our summer activities this year, Listen
to this!
Our first free activity of 2015 is
to meet at the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore Pinhook Bog at noon on
Saturday, May 30! The bog is about 25 miles away from Miller. We're going to take a walk for about a mile
on an easy path, that is actually floating.
If you want to car caravan from the Marquette
Park United Methodist Church parking lot, meet at 11 AM that morning and Mandy
Renslow will steer you in the right direction.
Directions: The bog doesn’t have a street address since it
isn’t a house, but you can put 0856 N Wozniak Rd, La Porte, IN in your
navigational system and it will lead you to the
house across the street from the bog.
1. Pinhook Bog is right outside of
Michigan City at the 421 exit going south.
2. When you get off of 80/94E and go
south on 421... that's exit A (not Exit B which takes you through Michigan City.
3. Once you're on 421 S. you turn
left at the first road which is 200 N. and you go for 2.2 miles to the stop
sign.
4. There you turn right onto Wozniak
road.
5.
Pinhook Bog is about three quarters of a mile down the road on the left.
We have hats for you, and bags with
water bottles and treats and equipment for hiking on the floating trail. You
need to dress in long sleeves and long pants with light clothing and old shoes
or rubber boots and mosquito spray. Come join the fun. We are going to gather information for making
an ecology play, ‘Footsteps in the Dunes’, this summer! Be there or be square!
