So what's a TWITT Walk? TWITT stands for T wice a W eek I tinerant T wo T imers. Just a goofy name for two walks we do during the day on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We cycle through Year Round Walks in the greater Sacramento area. Come join the fun!

So what's SWSW About? SWSW stands for S ticks W alk S tick's W alks. This is a book that is available to any Sacramento Walking Sticks member for free. When you walk an event for credit that is sponsored by the Sacramento Walking Sticks, stamp this book and when you get 10 different events, you receive a free "Stick's Buck" (a $3 coupon that will pay the credit fee for any Sacramento Walking Sticks walk) - OR - you can get a free license plate frame as seen on our S.W.S. Store page. The symbol lets you know which walks are eligible for this program.
Open a PDF version of the 2010 Friendship Walk schedule here (print it out if you want a paper copy). This document is subject to change without notice. This version is dated 05/11/2010.
Open a PDF version of the 2010 California Year Round Grid here (print it out if you want a paper copy). You can keep track of what Year Round Walks you've done since AVA only allows Event Credit once per half year. You may always get Distance Credit no matter how many times you do a Year Round Event. It is a 2 page document.
The 2010 California Year Round Grid With Counties lists the counties as well for those doing the "Forty Niner Miner" Special Program . It is a 3 page document.
If you can't view PDF documents, you probably need to download the Acrobat Reader
