** NOTE ** Sign up will be first-come-first-serve, you're welcome to request permission in advance but you will have to register when registration opens. There won't be any advance registration.
We will hike at a slow pace, taking frequent breaks. To keep the group together we may opt to have the slowest hiker lead. We will stop for an extended lunch (~20 minutes) or when we get to camp. We will break camp and head back to our cars Sunday morning starting around 9am.
** NOTE ** This trip is *NOT* recommended if:
** you are in a hurry to get to camp and/or can't handle hiking at a slowwww pace
** you are awake earlier than 5am and get really bored waiting for other folks to wake up
** you don't feel like waiting while others take a swim at the lake
** you don't like being social
