300 Turn Out for Marilla Winter Trek
More than 300 people turned out for Sunday’s second annual Marilla Winter Trek.
Rick Lutz of the Tuna Valley Trails Association says, “Everything went great, including the weather. I am especially happy for Gene (Cornelius), who created the monster.”
He said the hundreds of people were all over the Marilla area snowshoeing, hiking, cross-country skiing, ice fishing and geocaching. He said the geocache crew planted the caches a few weeks ago, and the snow covered up all traces of them.
Lutz also said families were building snowmen out on the ice and the county rescue dive team did a demonstration. He said paramedics wee on hand as well, and local police helped with parking.
He added that they went through “every bit of food” they had, along with 5 gallons of cider and 5 gallons of hot chocolate.
Planning has already started for the third annual Marilla Winter Trek, hosted by the TVTA.
“It is a lot of work,” Lutz said, “but worth it when it turns out so well.”
