If it's Thursday, let's hike Island Ford! Ths will be David's second solo lead for the AOC.  Island Ford is one of our favorites of the CNRA units.  This will be a fast hike with several short breaks.  Including warm up hill, walk along the river, lollipop, and hike the interior which has some hills.  A workout!  Recent D2+ experience to join the hike.  Not for beginners. 

We will meet at the  Hewlett Pond Parking Lot,  no bathrooms here so plan ahead.  

As always, please arrive at least 10 minutes early for introductions giving us an on time start for the hike.
