Next Gemwalker jaunt set for Sept. 6 in Florence
Join the Yachats Coastal
Gems for the Three Lakes Year-
round Event in Florence on
Tuesday, Sept. 6.
Walkers will meet at the
Commons in Yachats at 9 a.m.
if they want to carpool to
Florence, or meet at The
Sportsman, 249 Highway 101
in Florence, at 9:45 a.m. to reg-
ister.
This 10K route includes a
variety of environments and
walking surfaces. This walk is
basically flat ground with some
uneven surfaces and is not
appropriate for wheelchairs or
strollers.
September is usually the best
weather of the year on the
Oregon Coast, but no guaran-
tees. Come prepared for what-
ever the weatherman delivers.
As always, leashed pets are
welcome on walks, but be sure
to bring water and clean up
materials for pets. A sturdy 6-
foot leash (non-retractable) is
required.
On Wednesday, Sept. 7, The
Gems will hold its monthly
meeting along with a potluck
dinner at the picnic shelter
behind the Commons in
Yachats. There will be a leg-
stretcher walk at 4 p.m., dinner
at 5 p.m., and the meeting at 6
p.m.
For more information, con-
tact Maryann Brown at 541-
961-4279, or visit www.yachats
