There is a parking lot at the trailhead, however, parking is limited and carpooling is encouraged; please use the comments to respondd to carpool coordination. There will be approx. 1.5 miles of unpaved road leading up to the lot.
We will meet at the Buzzard Hill Trailhead parking lot (39.072124, -77.912144) at 09:45, and will plan to start the hike at 10:00. Service can be spotty in this area, so we may not be able to see messages if anyone is running late.
Make sure you wear sturdy shoes and have a bottle of water for this hike. Bug spray is recommended as well, as this is the time of year ticks start to emerge.
After the hike, we will head down the road to Bear Chase Brewing for lunch and beers: https://bearchasebrew.com/ (https://bearchasebrew.com/)
We will monitor the weather as the event gets closer, and update if needed.
