We'll park in lower Gatehouse lot (NOT upper main lot) & wait for everyone to find a spot & meet at bench in center of lot. Come early, be patient & circle, as spots do open up quickly. Please no complaining... enjoy retired life!
We'll walk 4+ miles round trip, from lower lot, along Bent Creek Trail, to Lake Powhatan. Trail along creek is long, flat, shady, & blooming this time of year. Wear good trail shoes, sun protection, & bring water & optional snack.
Planning to walk this trail often on Sundays &/or Mondays, but only on mornings during summer. Option to walk at any speed, & I'll bring up rear of slower walkers. But hope everyone will wait at lake to rest & socialize as a group.
FYI: May is birthday beach vacation month for me, before heat & crowds, plus now also packing & moving month for me. So see you in June!
