Stringer's Ridge 6.6.2023

 This was the first hike since we have changed our meetup time to 7:30A.  We were a little groggy but for the most part ready to go.  The hike leader got all 14 of us organized and we set off for this 4.2 mile hike.  We wandered around and around and up and down on this easy/moderate hike.  Most of us were seriously lost.  It was a very nice day for a hike with everything very nice and green.  Our only downer was that we had to pass by a beautiful fox that was dieing.  Very sad and everyone was rather somber.  Eventually we came out of our depression and the chatter resummed for the balance of this 2 hr and 44 minute hike.

A minute varies depending on which side of the bathroom door you're on.  

Reflection Riding Cleanup 6.3.2023

 This time is a little different.  Since we often hike through Reflection Riding, it was time for payment.  A group of us met at one of the lesser used trailheads at Reflection Riding at 9:00A to start the clean.  We used mostly rakes an loppers.  We moved steadily along the completely covered trail and made really good progress. The work consisted mostly of raking and clearing the path.  We worked until about 12:30 when we reached a park road which was our finishing point.  We cleared about a mile of trail and afterward it looked really good. Job well done and a special thanks to Randy for organizing it.
