Day Hike - Margaret's Way

Near gale winds (>15 mph, my cutoff for acceptable risk) forecasted for 10 a.m. when we would be nearing Margaret's Way highpoint, made it prudent to reschedule for 12/17/24. I used this as an opportunity to introduce the Beaufort Scale and what went into making the decision so everyone on the hike could learn from it.

  • Road suitable for all vehicles
  • Never left the comfort of home, but walking my dog (who would have been our mascot) I knew in my heart I made the right decision. SO frigging HARD to cancel something you're really looking forward to.

Rescheduled for Tuesday, 12/17 albeit with completely different people, I'm sure. Good topic for a potential future Outdoor Leadership Seminar: How to face disappointment with a cheerful attitude.
