Scary Night Hike (red lights only) - about 5 miles, 2 hours; only 50 spots
Details
WARNING: DO NOT COME IF YOU DON'T LIKE TO BE SCARED
If you do not like haunted houses, haunted corn mazes or other scary stuff, this is NOT for you
I'm capping this at 50 so that means NO SHOWS may be removed from the group AND last minute RSVP changes are the same as no shows - don't waste a spot someone else could have used
RAIN OR SHINE! not canceling for any weather
(we've done this before in the rain and it's still cool)
FREE to attend
It's October and that means it's Halloween month - pumpkins, bats, witches, haunted houses and all other things scary and we'll be hiking through some haunted woods tonight, with RED LIGHTS - the moon will not be out so red lights are ok to use...I would definitely prefer to hike as much as possible without using any light, but RED is ok now and then
Costumes are ok, and even encouraged, just make sure you can hike in them and be ready for them to maybe get dirty on the hike
There will be hazards on the hike...rocks, roots, tree branches, leaves, large step ups and downs...as well as other 'hazards' ;)
The hike should take ABOUT 2 hours, about 5 miles, but no promises. We'll get done when we get done.
Sunset is 6pm
Moonrise is 2pm
Moonset is 11pm
we'll have a 1/2 moon out tonight for lighting the trails
you can use headlamps, but RED LIGHTS ONLY
proper footwear is required - no flip flops, sandals or tennis shoes
No guests - everyone must be an IBO member and RSVP so I make sure they are aware of all the details of the hike - we had guests come before and they weren't told it was 'scary'
joining the group is free and easy
we had a big problem with NO SHOWS and last minute drop outs at the night hike in early October. I closed the RSVPs when they hit 62 and we had 16 show up.
Please be good about RSVPs - if there is limited space in events, make sure you know your plans early to allow others to come. No Showing or last minute drops prevent others from coming.
NO SHOWS for the scary night hike will be removed from the group
try to change your RSVP as early as you can if you are no longer coming
