The Plan: Meet at the parking area at trailhead where we'll hit the trail and hike into the park eventually hitting the picnic area by the lake for lunch.

As always there will be a vino/snack break prior to lunch.

Directions:

From Hwy 101 take Hwy 12 East and when it hits the street, keep going straight about 2 miles 'till it T's at Summerfield Dr.  Turn Right there and go 3 blocks and turn Left on Carissa, which you'll follow up the hill to the clearing to the left, and park there.

What To Bring:

Good Hiking Boots/shoes

Layered clothing, hat, sunscreen, insect repellent

At least 1 liter of water

Vino/snacks for our pre-lunch break during the hike  (If you're not into vino, no problem.  Water is a viable alternative.)

Food and more food to share (dried fruit/nuts/seeds, chips, dips, salsa, deserts - be creative!)

Vino to share (and paper cups)

Anything else you want to drink (wine, beer, soda, etc.)

There is always a bottle of wine in my pack - Yes, I'm serious.

If you've been on any of my hikes you know what to expect.

Your sense of humour is an absolute must!

This is a combined event w/ other Meetup grps, so it will be a good opportunity to meet some new people.
