Skip the mindless consumerism and join other east bay millenials for a hike in Black Friday. Please arrive a few minutes before 12:00PM. We will start the hike shortly after 12:00PM. We'll do our best to hike as a group, but I'd recommend downloading an offline map of the area on Google Maps on your phone just in case you happen to get separated.

Please bring:
• Water bottle
• Charged phone
• Snacks!!
• Hiking / athletic clothes and shoes
• Sunscreen

Please only attend this event if you feel like you are in shape to walk 5 miles with hills. If you have any health conditions that prevent you from exercising, this might not be the best event for you.

Wednesday Hike

We'll meet in the meadow by the Canyon Meadow parking lot. Our hike will start at 3, and is planned to end at about 5, though the exact time will depend on the speed of the group. The address for the [Redwood Gate](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=%2Fg%2F1v9gvp_d) entrance to [Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=%2Fm%2F0gwhb9) is **[7867 Redwood Rd, Oakland, CA 94619](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=%2Fg%2F1v9gvp_d)**. Canyon meadow is the fourth and final parking lot after the turnoff from Redwood road. The park district has not been charging an entry or parking fee for several years now at Redwood Park. Please make sure no valuables are left or visible in the car to prevent break-in. At 3:00 pm we will start with meet and greet; and each person gets to share 2-3 things that made them happy this week. Please be on time and get to know your new friends during the hike. Depending on the group we will go fast or slow, about 4 to 5 miles and up to about 500 feet of elevation gain, with Route to be determined on day of the hike. The hike is scheduled for 2 hours and I will try to get us back by then, though occasionally and depending on the group we may be back a little earlier or later. Please make sure to bring enough water and clothes and respect for everyone and nature. Doggie friends are not currently part of the hike. Please be considerate when RSVP’ing and update in advance if you cannot make it so others on the waitlist can join if given enough notice. No shows will be marked if there’s no valid reason, and more than 2 no shows will have you removed from the group. Thank you for your understanding. Some trail sections are steep and or slippery. Hiking shoes or boots, and poles if you use them, are recommended. Participants assume responsibility for their own safety.
