B Group season hikes for 2017
A couple of housekeeping issues…
B group has decided to move its designated hike day to
Thursday throughout the full season.
This will allow B group hikers to have flexibility to join either the
Turtles or A group hikers on their designated hikes during the season.
Dogs… **Not all hikes will be dog friendly.
It will be designated by the week’s hike leader if well-behaved
dogs are welcome on that particular hike.
If you do bring Fido, ALWAYS carry a leash, and please be prepared to
leash your dog during lunch at the summit, or in any situation necessary. Thank you.
Please be prepared to hike your own hike…. i.e., have your
own provisions such as first aid, food, water, extra clothing for unplanned
weather, etc. Have your EMERGENCY
CONTACT SHEET completed and in your backpack; it may save your life, and/ or
help us reach someone who greatly cares.
Please RSVP for a hike you plan to join by either calling or
emailing the leader. That week’s
organizer / leader will determine hike carpool locations, trailhead meet times,
etc. with the plan of reaching summit / destination for a lunchtime break.
Parking fees… our finely aged hikers can obtain a LIFETIME
National Park Pass for $10.00, which is also good at a number of other parks
and trailheads. More info on how to
obtain your pass can be found at: https://www.nps.gov/shen/planyourvisit/senior-and-access-passes.htm
Please notice there are two trail maintenance days planned,
June 9th, and July 18th.
All hikers are welcome and encouraged to assist in pruning, dealing with
trees that are impeding the trail, and reblazing. More info to follow.
And lastly… there may be hikes when the group is either
slower or faster than your current ability.
Please know that because this is a group hike, it’s hard to accommodate
everyone’s pace perfectly. Our desire is
not to leave anyone, however there have been times when it is in the best
interest of all to split up. Please do
your part by knowing your own abilities, communicating with the hike organizer
ahead of time if you would like to start early, or end later than the
group.
Now for the fun stuff, the hiking schedule!
