Come take the Mt Tabor Challenge with Anne and the boot camp crew! We meet at noon this Wednesday July 15th at the north side of the park near the intersection of Belmont and S.E. 69th. We will start at the stairs (count em – 300!) Then go off road so wear comfortable trail shoes.
The high is supposed to be 90 tomorrow so this will be the place to be – most of the trails are in the shade. For more info or to R.S.V.P. call Anne at 503-705-4762.
