Morning hike along a mixture of paved, natural and gravel paths. Cross over to Kickerillo-Mischer and back around and through the woods. This is a nice combination of open space and wooded areas including some multi use trails for a good looping hike. Some “features” so prepare for some mud and/or use hiking sticks.

Around 6.8 miles total as planned. Possible to go longer as there are several parks and bike trails nearby. Also possible to do less if that's preferable. Let me know and I'll call it out for you. Maybe a 2.5-3.0 mph pace if you stick with me. Unlikely to take full 3 hours in that case!

Depending on weather conditions, I recommend sunscreen, insect protection, and water! Some folks bring a snack since it’s a morning hike or an extra pair of shoes for driving neatly.

Ask me any questions in comments or dm me if you can. Holds true during the walk as well. Glad to share whatever I can!

Caveats: this is an amateur gathering of outdoor enthusiasts and not a professional event. Be prepared to take care of yourself, know your capabilities, and be able to navigate if you go ahead or lag behind on your own.
