Hiking Date : 08/17/2013 Time: 1:30pm to 4:30pm, Meeting Place: the picnic table area in the Wunderlich Park. Address: 4040 Woodside Road, Woodside, 94062.
The Wunderlich Park is a hillside area of redwood forest, open meadows, and beautiful oaks and madrones. The park is largely open space, with a system of beautiful trails. Both riding and hiking are available. Much of the park is well‐
shaded, so it’s a good hiking choice in summer days.
There are quite a few loop possibilities. We hiked the ambitious one to the Skyline Boulevard edge of the preserve about 9.9 miles round trip. We also hiked a shorter one with 4.4 miles. This time, we will try a new route for easier handling.
Starting from the Parking, we will take the Alambique Trail to the junction of Bear Gulch Trail. After 0.3 miles on the Bear Gulch, we turn right to the Meadow Trail, then left to Madrone Trail, and hit the last portion of Bear Gulch Trail back to the parking. This route is about 4.8 miles. We should finish it within 3 hours.
(Please note that all participants should take full responsibility to themselves in this event. Please aware that NCUAANC is not responsible to any indemnity on any occurring in this hiking event. If you do not agree on this term, please do not participate in this event.)

在南投信義鄉，有一個不懂五線譜，體育專科出身的小學校長，和一群天馬行空的山裡小孩，組成了一個合唱團。他們唱歌不按譜，隨興換聲部，唯一的祕密武器是虔誠的信仰。台灣原聲童聲合唱團指揮馬彼得校長說明，在都市多一個知識份子，或是多一個菁英，其實沒什麼大不了。但是在部落裏，多一個知識菁英，就多一份力量，就能改造整個原住民社會。他希望台灣原聲童聲合唱團可以像雲門舞集，或明華園歌仔戲一樣，成為台灣的驕傲。
