Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Yes friends...it keeps getting better and better. Come join two of your favorite turkeys hiking in our turkey hats. (Our antics always make for a fun time.) We're doing two hikes on Two Turkey Tuesday and hope you can join us on at least one of them. Expect the pace of this hike to be on the faster side as these hats are definitely more aerodynamic than the Cinco De Mayo sombreros.

These turkeys are leaving the roost on time. Please arrive a few minutes before the hike is scheduled to start for check in and introductions.

Someone should wear orange, although we'll probably be safe as turkey season doesn't open until March 24.

We're going for lunch afterwards at Heirloom Market BBQ. It's awesome, has fantastic reviews and there is turkey on the menu. Really, there is....
