Wednesday hike at Tatum Park

Tatum Park

• NOTICE 9:30am start! Let’s do 5.5-6 miles on the trails at Tatum - at the BRISK end of a moderate pace: 5.5-6 miles in a bit more than 2 hours. Please - know your capabilities. Expect flat to rolling to hilly terrain - a couple of longer/steeper hills. Trails vary from dirt single track to some that allow side-by-side hiking. Plenty of woods, open fields, long range views. Also plenty of wildlife, but depends on the weather and season. I’m expecting to see late Spring blooms here, like Phlox. The trails have a number of areas of uneven terrain and tree roots, so: Hiking boots/shoes are strongly suggested. Poles if you think you’ll need them. Other things to consider: wearing multiple layers, Water, bug spray, sun protection. We will meet in the parking area off Holland Road - park close to the Holland Activity Center (restrooms). PLEASE arrive at least a few minutes early - To sign in, gear up, use restroom, meet others. I’ll be next to my White Subaru Crosstrek, with black roof and kayak rack. I like to start on time. If necessary on morning of hike: my cell is 732-433-8343.
