Intermediate off trail backpacking trip

Event number two will be a moderate difficulty trip, where we will hike about 7 to 8 miles each day. We'll meet at 9:30 to 9:45, and take off by 10:00 am. I'll be avoiding the steep hills, but will also not be staying on longer ridges or valleys unless terrain dictates. Expect some creek crossings, and climbing hills without a trail requires finding your own switchback or by just going straight up if you wish.
Pace will be around 1.5 mph overall. Short break going uphill, a nice 30 minute stop when halfway. Moving pace will be a little over 2mph. Bring all your gear for a overnight backpacking trip. I will be scouting for water sources prior but I can't guarantee there will be any where we camp. We might be able to cache some relatively close at the orienteering course prior to starting, but might be a mile or more away from there depending on group size.
Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have prior. Although messages on here can be an issue, make sure to reach out a day ahead or more. There are others signed up on HHT as well, so I'm limiting sign ups on here. I will also look for a place that has multiple group camping spots spaced 100 yards or so apart, where we can split up into smaller groups if needed. This will also allow anyone who wants to be more secluded to set up by themselves.
