We suggest open windows while carpooling. Only you know your own health status so judge accordingly if an event may endanger your health or the health of others.
Please bring an extra pair of shoes to avoid bringing your muddy shoes into the driver's car at the end of the hike.
Incessant prattlers will be assumed to be having an affair. Obstreperous raucous yawping is discouraged.
THIS IS A DOG-PARTICIPANT HIKE. This event is NOT for those who are uncomfortable with the antics of fun-loving dogs. Well trained dogs (you don’t have to yell) can be 'off-leash'.
DESCRIPTION;
Remember - hikes led by ‘the Curmudgeon’ tend to have challenging surprises. I will be carrying the ‘Ent-Ward’ that gives us permission to pass thru the forest.
(AKA: Old MTS Tr) 3.5 miles through forest, overlooks and high bush blueberries.
Mtn Laurel Blooms!! Along the Pisgah Ridge...100' of climb but approximately 1000' of descent. We cross the Parkway 3 times. Trail Xings are not marked.
We pass thru 3 different environments.
All hikes are at your own risk. You are responsible for your OWN safety and adequate equipment.
