**Take the Great Saunter Fall Challenge. [Register here](https://shorewalkers.org/join-a-saunter/ "https://shorewalkers.org/join-a-saunter/") to walk 32 miles over 16 days, starting Oct. 3. Help Shorewalkers support our parks by donating $10 to participate, with all fees going to [Riverside Park Conservancy](https://riversideparknyc.org/ "https://riversideparknyc.org/"). This walk will count for 7 miles of your total.** Poets of New York Part 3 - Edgar Allan Poe - to help set the mood for Halloween, we will explore some of the areas where Poe lived and spent time in Greenwich Village, ending in the Upper West side, 1 train station at 86th St and Broadway. We will meet at 915 for a prompt 930 start at Houston and Varick 1 train station. Unfortunately, we will not be going to the Poe House in the Bronx (it's open on the weekends). About 7 miles. Fast steady pace, 3+ miles an hour. Few rest stops. Bring snacks and water. We will be reading some of his poetry along the way. If you need to contact me the day of the walk, please text me at 347 965-2581. Weather permitting.
