Sun, Oct 19 2014 - 一 大 早 (Yī dà zǎo) Hour of Power @ Palisades (View Original Event Details) Trip Leader(s): Armin Participants: Armin, Peter, Noralil, Sophia, Jennifer S, Trena, Eric P

It's true, Sunday sunrise is a great time to hike at Palisades!  We almost had perfect attendance.  Thanks to all who Qigonged!  We conducted a swift and steady hike at approximately 3.6495 MPH with about 762 feet of elevation in precisely 60 minutes.  Half of the hike was in silence and dark twilight so really it could have been any park.  By remaining quiet we can concentrate better on the task.  We enjoyed the sounds of nature and the protection of two great trail dogs who scouted before and after us on the trail.  After the hike we "circled up" on the river bank and did some excercises and stretches.  Shiloh, the dog, found a coconut ball and commanded us with a healthy bark to throw it for him.
