Lone Star Trail: Seg. 10: Four Notch Loop, 9.5 shady miles
Details
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' Seventh 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. Carrying three liters of water is still a good idea.
But don't freeze all your water! It may not melt fast enough for you.
If you don't feel well or find that you can't keep up, tell someone right away. We can help. But stop walking so it doesn't become something serious.
HATs organizers are not guides nor do we have any special training. We are here to come up with hiking ideas and get the hike started. Take the same precautions you would if hiking alone, including the fitness needed to make long hikes. Then enjoy the hike among friends.
