10/2/25 Afternoon: Forest Park Hike/Ruck and Social

Ron K and John S - organizers (difficulty 1 out of 5). Join us for a trek in Forest Park STL followed by a social hour (for those interested). Good fellowship, fresh air, and a fun outside activity.

Update: It turns out the Boathouse is undergoing an extensive renovation and will not be open on 10/2/25.
So here is the revised plan: We will still meet at Boathouse and do a hike from there (about 1 hour or so). When the hike is completed we will get in our cars and drive to Modern Brewery which is about 1.5 miles away.
