On March 25, we joined with trail partners from the Kekekabic Trail and Border Route Trail to talk trails, needs, and all things volunteer work! We are very grateful to our various sponsors for contributing door prizes for attendees, including Piragis Northwoods Company and Trailtopia.
The group of 30 was treated to a presentation from BJ Kohlstedt, retired Emergency Management Director of Lake County MN. BJ spent a career searching for missing hikers, hunters, canoeists, children, runaways, and people with dementia.
Of note, BJ stresses the importance of using the US National Grid in an emergency to help responders find you more quickly if ever needed. Check it out https://usngcenter.org/
