Save the Date: Hiking and playing in creeks -Kellys Run/Tucquan Glen (8 miles)
Details
just SAVE THE DATE FOR NOW
updates with specific times etc will come in June
We're going to do about an 8 mile hike and stop to play in the water twice followed by a stop at Sickman's Mill Outfitters - they have tubing available, drinks, food, music and a nice relaxing afternoon
more details on that here: https://www.sickmansmill.com/
Will cancel for rain/drizzle, still on for cloudiness
if you want to camp with us for the weekend, you can check out this event: https://www.meetup.com/its-better-outdoors/events/314880124/
We'll meet at the Pinnacle parking lot above Kelly's Run
then hike down to Kelly's run to play in the water there (maybe 20 min)
then following the water up and getting back on the trail and back to the parking lot
then continuing down to Tucquan creek where we'll hike along the creek until we find a good spot to stop for lunch and play around.
Lunch will be at least 30 minutes
How far we go along Tucquan will depend on our time and mileage - I will stop where it makes sense so that we can be back at the cars by 4
This hike is more about playing in the water than hiking fast/far BUT there will be about 1500 ft of elevation gain so it's NOT easy - if you're not ok with stopping to play in the water, don't come
Pace: we walk about 3 miles an hour - if you can't keep up, you'll be on your own to catch up (if you think you're a slower hiker, make sure you have a tracking app on your phone - like strava or GAIA)
No guests allowed - all attendees must be IBO members - so that I know for sure everyone gets the same information and that they know what they are in for
Bring: sturdy hiking boots or shoes, water shoes (for playing in the water), water to drink (or filtration bottle), snacks/lunch, sun screen, bug spray, energy!
