Join fellow friends of wild places
for a warm and friendly evening in the finest Adirondack tradition.
We are honored to welcome fellow ADKer Dan Berggren, one of the
Adirondack's great masters of original music. Dan will be
doing songs and stories about the people and places that make the Adirondacks
what they are - music that's old and new.
While "Jamcracker"¯
is the brand new trio album (Dan Duggan, Peggy Lynn and Dan
Berggren's
self-titled CD), "Fresh Territory"¯ is Berggren's
latest. Also, this past year he produced an album for the
Association for the Protection of the Adirondacks.
"Shepherd of the Wilderness"¯ is a tribute to Paul
Schafer and is available only through the Association.
In 1992 the New
York State Outdoor Education Association presented Dan with
its Art and Literary Award. He was recognized in 2001 by the
Association for the Protection of the Adirondacks
with its Heritage Award and most recently, he was the recipient of
the Adirondack Mountain Club's Education Award. We are truly
honored to have one of the icons of Adirondack folk music help us
celebrate the bond of adventure, history and friendship we share
with the land and waters we love.
Please visit Dan's website
at
www.berggrenfolk.com
for more information about his music, tour schedule and upcoming CD
release concerts.
The Queensbury Hotel serves up fine food and has
plenty of room for our growing membership. We welcome non-members to
attend the dinner and invite you to consider joining ADK while you
enjoy good company and fine music. Please mail the reservation form

Chapter Winter
Weekend at Heart Lake

Wiezel Trails Cabin at Heart Lake
The Chapter’s 2008 Winter Weekend at the Wiezel Trails Cabin at
Heart Lake will be held during the Martin Luther King Weekend from
Friday, January 18 to Monday, January 21, 2008.
From the Cabin we will be able to cross-country ski and snowshoe
into many areas of the High Peaks. This is a good opportunity to for
those of you who may be working toward your Winter 46. Algonquin,
Iroquois, Wright, Phelps, Tabletop, Marcy and many more High Peaks
await the snowshoe. A ski or snowshoe trip into Avalanche Lake and
Lake Colden could also beckon. Indian Pass would be a nice trip.
Perhaps sunrise or sunset from Mount Jo might be all you want to do.
The Loj property also has excellent ski trails. We never rule out
possible shopping in Lake Placid. Breakfast and dinners are included
in the price. The Wiezel Trails cabin, with electricity, a kitchen,
and showers, sleeps 16 persons in four four-person bunk rooms.
The rate for the weekend should be no more than $100 per person,
if all 16 spaces are filled.
