Land of Medicine Buddha — Wednesday Workout [LMB]

Wednesday’s Workout Wanders Eastward!

Our Westside Wednesday Workout is exploring new digs. We bop over to Medicine Buddha this week, and will cover more ground up north along the coast in the coming weeks. But, I expect Cotoni will remain our main squeeze.

Please hang tight while I update this page to our new location:

Land of Medicine Buddha (LMB)
5800 Prescott Rd, Soquel
831-462-8383

Deets:
Alltrails Route is 6 miles, 970’ TEG.
Carpool to share the $20 entrance fee.
Carpool Meeting Point: Beer 30, 1:20pm
Bring: Good shoe tread, hiking poles, meditative presence, beer money
2pm Hike Departure — LMB closes at 5pm, so please be ready to start our hike at 2pm

Conditions: It might rain the night before, so I went up the day after our last rains and walked almost half the trail. Conditions were very good, with duff on most of the trail, but there were some steep spots that demand caution, which is why I recommend that people who get along well with poles should bring them.
Poison oak is leafing out, be mindful of ticks and frolicking wood elves.

(TBContinued)
Update should be complete Friday evening. Feel free to sign up now!

Join us for a Healthful Hikeful, a bite sized hike, on leave from our Cotoni origins.

Let's grow this event into a weekly workout, at your own pace (AYOP) but faster over time, one to three times per week, details TBD. If you wish to speed ahead, or dilly-dally behind, the herd of us social chatterboxes, please alert the host before disappearing out of earshot!
