The path is steep and arduous, hopefully there is a very wise guru at the top with the meaning of life.
Seriously folks, this is a steep, tough trail. It faces south so it melts out earlier but that also means it can be extremely hot. You'll want at least 3-4 quarts of water.
My goals for the trip:
1. Have Fun
2. Be Safe
3. Learn Something
4. Make it to the top of the ridge.
My expectations for participants:
1. You need to be a strong hiker for this trail.
2. Stay with the group.
3. Carry lots of water.
4. Be respectful of others.
My style:
1. I've got a flexible leadership style that can change to meet changing needs but in general it's pretty casual. You'll often find me at the back of the group. I'm a big believer in servant leadership.
2. If I don't respond to your question right away it's because I'm mulling the answer over in my mind.
3. I am often easily distracted by nature: rocks, trees, flowers, animals, etc.
4. I love puns and jokes and riddles.
