Itinerary:

This is the THIRD Friday in a row I've posted a hike - the last two got rained out. However, It's lookin good for this Friday! So join me for an after work hike at Vickery Creek. The days are staying light a little longer, so let's do it! We will meet at the Mill parking lot (NOT Oxbo) to start our 5.5 mile hike. We will be going at a fast pace in order to keep our heart rate up, and we won't we taking many breaks, so this is not a beginner's hike.

Please bring a headlamp or small flashlight as it will be getting dark as we finish. 

We'll start promptly at 4:30 pm, so please arrive a few minutes early for check in. If you need to cancel, you have until 3:30 pm the day of the hike to remove yourself from the list. Ater that, please call or text me. Also - please let me know if you are running late. We won't be able to wait, but you are welcome to catch up with us!

Parking is free at the Mill parking lot. (We are NOT starting at Oxbo) There is a restroom, but you'll need extra time if you need to use it before the hike.
