In the interest of full disclosure, for three years running, I have yet to see the sunset or the moonrise. This conditioner will go rain or shine. Let’s hope the fourth time is the charm this year.
We will plan on starting the hike at 5:00pm sharp! With the days now a bit longer, the sun is scheduled to set at 7:14pm this night. Bring your weighted pack and capture a picture of the sunset in order to check off your conditioner requirement for the course* If the skies permit, we will also have the opportunity to see the full moon rise.
*Sunset photo only guarantees conditioner requirement will be met for members of the Metz/Dittig SIG. Please consult your individual SIG leader to verify requirements :)
