Participants should meet at 3 p.m. at M203 and Christensen Road (about 4 miles north of Hancock) OR meet at 2:45 p.m. at the American Legion Hall, 1320 W. Quincy in Hancock (M203 just past US41), to make carpooling arrangements with other participants.
Churning Rapids near Hancock offers both back-country ski and snowshoe trails.

Guests are encouraged to bring tableware and a dish to pass.
The evening’s musical entertainment will be provided by Rhythm 203, KLT’s own Curtis Perala on keyboard and accordion, and special guest Greg Merkle. Greg is an acoustic guitar virtuoso who performs his own remarkable compositions. His dizzying finger-tapping style is intricately technical yet intrinsically beautiful. Greg enjoys a cult-like following in his native New Jersey, and has also opened for musicians like Taj Mahal, John Hammond Jr., Iris Dement and Johnny Cash.
The next KLT OUTING is March 15 with ice fishing for kids at the Marsin Nature Retreat Center and hot cocoa by the fire. Other upcoming events in the KLT Outings series will include winter fire building, spring frogs and wildflowers, and bushwhacking/orienteering.
