Deems Hill Group Mystery Hike-Sorry I thought I posted this!

I had surgery last Wednesday, nothing serious just preventive. But I'm grounded from doing anything too physical, lifting over 10 lbs, or water for 1-2 weeks. I feel great but just to be safe (and so Maureen doesn't yell at me), no hiking this week but will be back next week. I may take a ride out to Bambino's though.

This hike is rated INTERMEDIATE
Join us for an early evening hike to get the heart pumping, and the calories burning at Deem Hills Recreation Area. W
Bring lots of water, a camera, and good conversation.

We will start at 6:30 PM. At the end, if you're not eager to run home, we will meet at your favorite watering hole for some Cold Brews, Good Food, and Wild Women (oh wait wrong group...though we do have some wild women)!
