Hike Leader: the honorable ... Mr. Deeds

This Hike level is at an Intermediate intensity. the meeting area is in Parking Lot #2, over by the STEPS, not to far from Griffith Park's historic Merry Go Round attraction. See Map (http://files.meetup.com/262967/Griffith%202nd%20Parking%20Lot.jpg)

On Los Feliz, going east past Vermont you get to the stop light for Crystal Springs Rd.....turn left (north). You are now entering Griffith Park. Drive about 2 miles to the intersection where the Ranger Station is. You will see many signs....some with arrows pointing to the Merry Go Round. At this intersection you will turn left and go up the hill toward the Merry Go Round. Drive through the first parking lot (Parking Lot #1) and keep going to the next parking lot (Parking Lot #2), and we are there at the north end where the steps are located. The Hike's Duration is approximately 2.5 hours with a possible Distance of 5-6 miles, more or less.

WEAR HIKING or TRAIL walking Shoes please. Bring water, walking sticks if needed, an extra pair of socks, aspirin, a friendly attitude and some niceness but most of all ... bring a LOT of Common Sense and patience for your fellow hikers, OK?

"The route, destination and pace of the Hike in Griffith Park is to be determined by the Hike Leader." ... in Deeds we trust !

" This is not a Training or conditioning hike. Therefore, on this hike look forward to having fun, learning new things, talking and networking, making friends and enemies, and taking time to be at one with nature. Socializing while hiking is just as important as getting exercise, so don't expect any jogging, running or extreme inclines to our destination, there will be no death marches without decent rest breaks or even getting left behind. Also ... dogs and brats are always always welcome too on our family type hikes. yet, no minions allowed, I only want friends, family, health nuts and Walking/Hiking minded folks to come out. Cheers to you."

Hike Leader, the lovable... Mr. Deeds
