8:30am Sun May 4 @ Umstead - Loblolly, 6-7ish miles

LOBLOLLY TRAIL - - Hike starts at 8:30am

Lets go for a hike on Sunday morning! Meet at the Reedy Creek entrance of Umstead State Park off of Harrison Ave.

Come prepared to hike BRISKLY at a 3-3.25 mph pace. Trail will be mostly natural and MUT, and we may modify due to trail conditions.

PLEASE NOTE THE 8:30AM START. We should finish by 10:30-11am at the latest.

If it is drizzly and overcast in the morning, I will still hike, pouring rain, no. If needed I will cancel by 8:00am, so watch for that.

Take I-40 to exit 287, Harrison Ave, head north (left on Harrison if you are heading east on I-40, right on Harrison if you were heading west on I-40). Go straight into the parking lot.

Meet by the sign with maps on the right side of the parking lot near the Loblolly trailhead. I will be there right at meetup time.

Wear the proper attire, bring water, snacks etc. Sadly, no dogs are allowed in Schenk Forest. No small children please. If I've forgotten anything, please email me.
