<div>Hikers - Just a quick reminder that if you would like to receive the Triple<br>Crown Award from ALDHA-West this year the deadline to submit your<br>information is <strong><u>September 1.</u></strong></div>
<div><br>Information on the award and the annual gathering can be found at:<br><br><a href="http://www.aldhawest.org/triplecrown.html">http://www.aldhawest.org/triplecrown.html</a><br><br>The award (a cool plaque) is free to those who attend the gathering and<br>
around $25 for those who don't. Either way you will be forever immortalized<br>on the ALDHA-West website.<br><br>*The only rule* is that you must have hiked all 3 trails in full by the time<br>you apply for the award. It doesn't matter how you hiked the trails as long<br>
as you walked them at some point, some how, some way.<br><br>ALDHA-West is the only organization that recognizes the Triple Crown and to<br>date 122 plaques have been awarded. I've already got around 20 for this year<br>
so the numbers keep growing.<br><br>Buck-30 - ALDHA West Triple Crown Coordinator<br></div>
