Leader is a birder and photographer so expect very brief pauses (2-3 minutes on the hour) as nature warrants for bio/snack/water breaks. Moving pace average 2.3-2.5 mph. We'll take 20 minutes at the lake for a dip / an early "lunch". Few junctions so you can work your own pace, staying within shouting distance.
Meet at the TH at 6:15 a.m. booted and ready for introductions and stretching so we can be hiking by 6:30. This helps us beat traffic both ways, enjoy birdsong, and have time for other things in the afternoon. REPLACES BECKLER RIDGE DUE TO ROAD WASHOUT. Carpooling details will follow in Hello Hiker.
