First Group Hike 📢 Buck Gully Trail 🥾🌿

*** Hey everyone!! ***

I just wanted to personally reach out and let you know that I made a huge mistake with the directions—I ended up at the wrong location and just realized I’m about 25 minutes away from where I’m actually supposed to be. I feel terrible about this, and I’m so sorry for the mix-up.

Please don’t wait for me—go ahead and start the hike as planned! I’ll be there as soon as I can and will catch up with everyone when I arrive. Again, I truly appreciate your patience, and I’m really looking forward to meeting you!

See you soon, and I’m so sorry for the confusion!
