PLACE ODYSSEY 2008
How well do we know the amazing place that we live?  Join an off-season Yosemite National Park ranger-naturalist (and native of the Finger Lakes) for a multi-day, arduous walking adventure, back to Ithaca.  Our journey will start on the shores of Seneca Lake.  Walk stories of the land, practicing a language of landscape, as we make our way back to Ithaca. It will not be the same Ithaca that you left two and a half days before. This is a pilgrimage of sorts toward a deeper understanding of our place (and time) in this rich Finger Lakes landscape. Through the many miles we walk, we will hopefully come to a different understanding of both body and mind.
