Read "Into Thin Air" - Then Hike @ Ft. Ben

Let's Read -> Then... Hike (FIRST TIME)
*Seeing if there's any interest in a Meetup like this, Pls RSVP if you begin reading and plan to attend. (Exact date could change depending on weather and/or personal schedule)

Our Sunday Ft Ben group has been talking a lot about a possible EBC (Everest Base Camp) trip, so let's start by reading Into Thin Air (about Everest) .

THE PLAN: is to read and then discuss the book for all or part of a hike.

Tentative hike date: July 20, @ 4.10 PM @ Ft. Ben
- Since this is our first try on a semi-book-club, I've allowed a lot of time for us to get the book from a library or buy a new/used copy online, with plenty of time to read.

Distance & Pace: The distance will be between 4.5 to 6 miles. I'm not 100% sure of our pace, but for casual conversation, I'm thinking it would probably be between 20 to 23min per mile.

BRING: Water (maybe sunscreen, hat etc., most of the trails have moderate tree coverage)

THE NEXT BOOK (tentative date of Aug 17, 2025):
- In case you like to plan ahead, the book will be A Walk in the Park (about hiking the Grand Canyon going the long way, not rim-to-rim).
