A Socially Distanced Summer Walk in Skaneateles
Many places are reopening with businesses trying to serve the community in a safe way. We Folkmarchers also want to safely start to transition back to monthly walks at the same location.
Part of the Folksmarch experience is sharing the sights and sounds and beauty of a particular CNY location with like-minded people. With that in mind, we will continue to walk on our own – without a sign-in table or any refreshments or a specific route and a map. But we will suggest that Folksmarchers walk in the Village of Skaneateles on the weekend of July 11 & 12, during the usual time slots.
It is a familiar area for many and quite beautiful in the summer. Some of the shops and eateries have reopened for those who want to stop in or get a take-out lunch and head to a bench by the lake. It is very possible you will see a few familiar faces.
After your walk, please submit your selfies and any interesting tidbits about your walk to cnyfolksmarch@gmail.com to be posted on social media. Send by July 17th to be included in next month’s Footnotes.
FYI: Currently, the municipal parking lot is free, but that may change by mid-July. There are a couple of free lots and some free street parking, but please be prepared to pay a small fee for a convenient parking spot in the Village.
Tip: For this month’s walk or any walk, there is a website (and phone app) called Map My Walk that allows you to map out a route ahead of your walk depending on the distance you might want to walk (you can create a FREE account online). The app on your phone allows you to start your walk and uses your GPS to record where you have walked and will give you notifications for every mile.
The July Footnotes provides additional details about this month’s walk and more.
