Itinerary:

It's a special day - - Larry's 500th AOC event!

Join Larry and his renegade fiends for a steady paced hike around Vickery Creek!  Beware:  though this is a D2 hike, it is NOT recommended for beginners due to the rugged terrain with lots of rocks and roots. 

We'll be starting our hike at the Covered Bridge and following a loop around the park, with perhaps one or two trails through the center of the unit that provide some chalenging hills. Due to the terrain, poles are recommended, and you must bring along plenty of water.

Please arrive by 1:50 pm so use the restrooms and to meet the group.  We'll be starting on tiime!

Parking is free at this location!

By the way, since the renegades will be eating dinner at IPP's after the hike, we won't be having a big tailgate celebration.  Maybe just some cheese and crackers to whet everyone's appetite.

Joyce and Susan
