Hi Denise and all here on the list. 
I have just returned from vacation in Florida and got a message from Sandy  
Staples at Meadowside Nature Center informing me of this upcoming walk I am  
supposed to lead. I was not aware of it, and have a regularly scheduled walk for 
 The Backyard Naturalist on Saturday June 25. And even though we are planning 
to  go to Blue Mash anyway, my trip is already way overbooked. So please 
contact  Meadowside if you had intended to go on this walk. I tried contacting 
Sandy very  early on  a couple of months ago about this and apparently she never  
confirmed it with me, so she apologized. 
 
Sandy said she would lead the 2 hour walk there this Saturday. Sorry for  any 
confusion,
