Lucky St. Patrick's Day Hike at Castlewood

Trail Time is 11am sharp.  I have to work later in the afternoon so I won't be able to wait.

Lets do a short 3-4 mile hike of Castlewood.  Castlewood has lots of steep hills so hiking poles and trail shoes are highly recommended.

What to bring:

Plenty of water  

Hiking Poles

Wear Trail Shoes

If the weather turns out to be an issue I'll cancel this at least 2 hours before the hike.

      According to the Map my Hike app - it took me 80 minutes to hike 3.86 miles for about a 20 min / mile pace. The trail is about 3 miles but I added a spur that added another 3/4 Mile. Earlier the hybrid trail we took was 3.68 miles in which we completed in about 88 minutes for about a 24 minute / mile pace. Both measurements include stops.

    weather too bad for me this day.

    I'll be at the meetup point at 11am. Right now it doesn't look bad to me and snow doesn't scare me but of course it's not fun to hike in the rain so if it's pouring rain this is of course canceled. I'll be at church right before so won't be able to cancel this after 9:30 but as I said I'll still be at the meetup point regardless.
