Lone Star Trail: Seg. 10: Four Notch Loop, 9.5 shady miles

This is a great hike in the shady woods with over 90% shade so come and get 18-19,000 steps closer to finishing the HATS Lone Star Trek and enjoy the walk in the forest on the holiday weekend.

This hike is the great segment of HATS' Eighth Cycle of the entire Lone Star Hiking Trail. We have several people finishing the trail today so come for the hike and stay for the champagne. Someone will pass around a clipboard to record our attendees for your credit toward completing the Lone Star Hiking Trail.

HEAT PRECAUTIONS:
The spring is wrapping up so the days can still be quite warm. Start the day well hydrated. Bring more water than you do in cool weather

But don't freeze all your water! It may not melt fast enough for you.

Hike Safety:
If you don't feel well or find that you can't keep up, tell someone right away. Stop walking so it doesn't become something serious. We can help get you off the trail.

If you need help on the trail call or text the leaders
