Note: This is an "EXPLORATORY" trip. This means that there are parts of this trip, or perhaps the whole trip, that is new to your Trip Leader(s). However, they are confident that this will not be an issue.
This note is here so that you can make an informed decision. When a Trip Leader isn't personally familiar with a trip, there is an increased chance of things not going as planned and you need to be prepared. The Trip Leader may have additional details in the itinerary.

Itinerary:

Hard Labor Creek State Park - another on my list to visit this summer. I have never hiked at Hard Labor therefore I have designated as an Exploratory Hike. We will hike various trails (and there are many) but mostly the red and blue trails. Hike is expected to be 12 miles in about 5 hours although may be over/under on both time and mileage - we will take a few brief water breaks and one 15 min. water/snack break somewhere in the middle of the hike.

Estimated cost per vehicle for this event is $40.00 using a reimbursement rate guideline of $0.400 per mile. The total amount should be divided by the number of people in the vehicle, including the driver. This is a guideline, not a rule, for drivers but the cost should not be higher unless there are extenuating circumstances.
