Please check that the trail is open before coming http://sorbawoodstock.org/trail-status/ . They are controlled by the local mountain bike group and we must follow their rules. We will meet at the pavilion which is to the right after entering the park.

Free parking
Enjoy post-event trailgating

Ahhhh the good ole Beaver Moon! While only 94% of the Beaver will be lighting our way it should be up in the sky the whole time we hike since the "true" full moon isn't until Friday...but Mrs. Cleaver said the Beaver can come out to play & light our way.
We will be doing all 3 loops on the Avalanche Trail at Olde Rope Mill. The map can be found here: http://sorbawoodstock.org/olde-rope-mill-park/ . These trails are shared with mountain bikes but we are required to go the opposite direction and they are easy to see with their lights. The bikes have the right away on this trail so we will need to step to the side if we encounter any.

Non-Stop effort. We will generally go 3 mph however it may be a little slower with the stops for bikes and the fact that we are hiking in the dark.There are not lights on the trail so you will definitely need a flashlight or headlamp. The park closes at 11pm so we must be done by then, this shouldn't be a problem unless something out of the ordinary happens.

Also I limited this to 8 people...since it's a lil rough night hiking with a bigger group, so there's that!

Total hiking is approximately 6.25 miles.

Thanks to Eric P. for allowing me to highjack his original write up, who highjacked it from Paula S. :P - so thanks you two!
