The Madison Area Volkssport Association
(Dairyland Walkers) is offering a bus trip Labor Day Weekend to do the annual
Mackinac Bridge Walk. As part of that trip we are sanctioning this AVA walk.
It is important to note that the routes were
designed for the bus group. They are linear, not loops. Those participants
that are not part of the bus group will need to either have transportation
available at the route end, or they must do an out-and-back walk.
This event is open to everyone.
