Mon, May 5 2025 - FIFTH Cinco de Mayo Hike: Island Ford - VISITOR CENTER Parking Lot (View Original Event Details)
| ![]() |
The 5th hike of the day started a 5 pm and finished just before 7 pm. We clocked in 4.9 miles, and for some of us, those were tough miles. The Magnificent 7 really were amazing. No one quit! Congratulations to Mike C., Bette, Ann, Mary, Gerrilyn, Lee, and I guess me, too!
Just a little side note of admiration for Mary, who is just 9 months out from knee replacement surgery! And Ann just came back from doing just a little less thant 200 miles on the Camino. (Plus, she did a D5 hike yesterday.)
It was great to see Janice R. whom we have hiked with in about a decade! It was a great assortment of members for this hike.
Thanks to Mike for taking on the job of handing out festive necklaced for all the hikers to wear today. He did it without a hitch. Also, I'm grateful to Mike for tracking the mileage of each hike. I tried to do it, but failed miserably.
Happy Cinco de Mayo to everyone! ~ Joyce
