**SOME HISTORY:**
MANITOGA is an Algonquin word meaning "place of great spirit". It is also the home and woodland garden of Russell Wright (1904-1976). In 1942, Russell Wright purchased this abandoned quarry and former logging site. He transformed the 75 acre landscape of stream crossed woodlands and steep ravines harboring native wildflowers, profusions of ferns and moss as well as tree and shrub species of the region. His choreographed trails celebrate nature and inspire wonder.

**ABOUT THE HIKE:**
**This is an approximate 2 mile hike** **rated as moderate due to the hilly terrain.** We will walk the perimeter of the property and stop at several "osios", an Algonquin word for beautiful view. (Trail Map in photos.)

**MEET TIME:** 11:30 in the parking lot

**CARPOOLERS MEET TIME:** 11:00 at McDonalds Fishkill, Rte 9, Home Depot Plaza

**LUNCH:**
I'm not making formal lunch plans, but we can go into Cold Spring afterwards and possibly eat at The Depot. They do not take reservations and will not do separate checks, so be prepared to pay in **CASH**. I'll give them a heads-up a day or two before when I know how many are interested.

**NOTE:** If you are only interested in the Hike, then state "Hike Only" in the comments so I can get an accurate headcount for lunch.
