(Local) DAYHIKE - UMSTEAD RUINS & HISTORY – PART 3
No location was chosen
UPDATE 3/02/12:
I have been closely watching the weather forecasts for tomorrow morning. Unfortunately, they have not been converging in our favor. The front which has already caused much severe weather north and west of us will be passing through our area shortly before the scheduled hike time. With it there will also be the threat of local severe weather. Therefore in the interest of safety I have decided to pro-actively cancel this event.

BEFORE RSVPing, please make sure that you READ this event description completely! Yes, there will be a test! Event capacity = 10-12.
Here is an opportunity to experience parts of Umstead State park that you may have never seen if you have always stayed on the hiking trails. On this series of hikes we will explore some of the wilder and more remote sections of the park keeping our eyes peeled for natural wonders and signs of previous habitation. Now we have the assistance of the recently published “Stories In Stone” by Tom Weber that puts names and faces to some of the things that we might find. We will be hiking on unmaintained and maintained trails, old roads, bridle trails, and cross-country. Because of this I am rating this outing STRENUOUS and suitable for FIT HIKERS ONLY and those not undaunted by the unknown! Sorry, No kids or Pets.
DETAILS:
Date: SATURDAY, March 3rd.
Time: 10:00 A.M. Please be ready to start walking. We should be back by mid-afternoon.

WHAT TO BRING:
Please dress appropriately for the expected weather conditions. This includes bringing foolproof rain gear and sturdy hiking boots. Please bring enough water to last the entire hike, lunch, and a snack. Bring a map and compass or a GPS if you would like some practice staying found.
Active or pending heavy precipitation will unfortunately cancel the outing. Fog, mist, or cold temperatures will not. In case of a cancellation I will update THIS EVENT on the THOG WEB SITE by 9:00 A.M. on Saturday morning.
SIGNUP:
Leader approval is required. Put yourself on the waiting list. Once I have verified your attendance history and answers to questions I will move you to the “Going” RSVP list if the trip capacity (10-12) has not yet been reached.
Remember, YOUR RSVP IS YOUR COMMITMENT TO THIS TRIP and your future good standing in THOG depends on how well you honor your commitments. Late cancellations (less than 24 hours before the event) or no-shows will be noted in your THOG account and may restrict your future ability to sign up for THOG trips.
