TAKAHIK (Pronounced
"take-a-hike")
Danny and Brenda Hale and their friends, Steve and Becky
Hern, had been tossing around the idea about starting a local hiking club for
several years. They were finally convinced to do so, during a slide-show
presented by Tim Ernst and William McNamara, a nature photographer/hiking
enthusiast and a nature painter respectively, when a sign-up sheet was
signed by over 50 people expressing an interest in such a club.
Being encouraged by
the response, an organizational meeting was held on January 26, 1999 in
Russellville. A large crowd attended and after discussing some of the
goals, projects and benefits of a club,
TAKAHIK River Valley Hikers,
was officially organized.
Meetings are held each month which include various programs on
clothing, equipment, hiking trails, literature and books available, trail
maintenance, future and on going projects, videos, trip planning (in and
out-of-state) and scheduled hikes for the upcoming month.
Meetings and memberships are open to anyone interested in enjoying a part of
Arkansas that most never get to enjoy. Great for families, friends and
even your pets.
