LM: Trout Run Valley (27 miles)

## Details

June is new member month! Look forward to seeing LM trips to get assimilated into the club.

This is a classic DCUL trip with some great views and moderate elevation gain over 27 miles.
Meet Saturday, 1/7, at Vienna, rationalize cars, drive out to Wolf Gap, then start the loop south bound, over Tibbett Knob. We'll aim to camp at Halfmoon Run, where we'll have a merry campground and likely chocolate, etc. Sunday, we'll wake early, complete the loop with Big Schloss, return to the cars and the warmth, visit a pub, and head home.
Splits like 15/12.
I'll want to see gear lists from people doing this, unless I know you and have done trips with DCUL before. I'll prioritize new members for this trip.
