Emerson Amblers:  Join us as we walk and talk on Mondays.  We stroll along at a slow, easy pace on mostly flat ground. We alternate each week between the *north- and *south-west San Fernando Valley.  Especially during the changing summer temperatures check notices weekly and/or with LindaBeth to verify time and place.  When the weather is too hot (above 85) or rainy, we meet inside an air conditioned mall* at 4 pm (to avoid crowds). When the weather is pleasant, we meet about 1-1/2 hours before sunset (5:30 pm now?) either at Orcutt Ranch in the South or in Chatsworth in the North SF Valley.

If you would like a more energetic walk, see our Hiking page and/or contact Jim Wallis.
