Itinerary:

 

This series of TUESDAYS w/ NATURE hikes - a gentle nod to Mitch Albom’s Tuesdays with Morrie - are intended for us to briskly wander, rain or shine, through the woods, while we let our minds wander through thoughts of love, death, aging, forgiveness, the meaning of life, etc.

Deep? Yes! But wait... there's more!

1. Beat the traffic

2. Catch a spectacular sunrise, and

3. Get your daily workout in before breakfast.

That's a win-win-win by any standards. BTW, this is NOT a fast, fitness hike, but I do need to be home before dinner, so we’ll maintain a decent mind-body pace of 2 to 2.5 mph with a couple of hydration breaks along the way!

How to Get There:
Event Directions:

On the day before the event, I will email participants the exact meeting location and detailed directions.


Notes:



1. Please, no unregistered guests or +Ones!

2. In order to earn credit for this event, participants must begin and complete the entire hike/event with the group, within the stated time frame.

3. Late cancellations, particularly within 36 hours of the event, make it difficult for those on the waitlist to attend. Please be courteous to your fellow AOC members and cancel with as much notice as possible.

4. When an event has an active waitlist, the trip leader reserves the right to assign a “no show” to members who sign up and then fail to attend the event.

5. If you need to get in touch, the best way is to TEXT me with your NAME at 4O4 7-Five-4 5OO5. FYI, thanks to those annoying robocalls, calling me will send you to my voicemail, but feel free to leave a message.

6. I usually hike RAIN-or-SHINE, except in severe thunderstorms, or freezing rain.

7. In case of severe weather or other unforeseen emergencies that warrant a cancellation, I will text/email you at least TWO HOURS before the start of the event.


* We encourage all members to follow our Etiquette Guidelines while participating in AOC events.
