Itinerary:

This is an opportunity to get a quick hike in after work.

The goal is to move at a fast pace and cover over 5 miles.  This is not a fitness hike, but we want to set a fast pace.  We'll regroup periodically, as needed, and at intersections.  So the group will determine the pace.  

The plan is to go over the hill and then along the river.  From there, we'll go up to the clearing, then through the woods and back along the river.  Finally, we'll go up and over the hill one more time.

 

***Don't leave any valuables in your vehicles for there have been cases of vandalism.
