Hiking in Waterloo Rec -- 6ish or 12ish miles


Details
Meetup location:
https://goo.gl/maps/ygKPWawQWXNKDrCd9
We leave at 9:45 SHARP -- that means get your butt there early!
THE PLAN:
A seemingly random hike through some of the most remote trails in Waterloo Rec. We will do two 6ish-mile loops on/around the Waterloo-Pinckney Trail -- the first loop take you back to the cars. The hike will be done at a moderately-fast pace (~3 mph) with some small breaks along the way.
TRAILHEAD LOCATION:
I-94 Exit 150 (Mt. Hope Rd). Go north on Mt. Hope for about 0.8 mile and the parking lot will be on the left. The parking lot looks like this:

WATER:
It will be hot. If you are doing 12 mile, bring at least 3 liters of water.
DOGS:
yes, on a leash
BATHROOMS:
None along the trail -- just trees.
COSTS:
If you have a Michigan Recreation Pass: nothing.
If you do not have a Michigan Recreation Pass: $19 (and a Michigan Recreation Pass included so you don't have to pay again... until the next time you renew tabs on your car)
OTHER QUESTIONS:
I will be happy to answer any non-last-minute questions. However, last minute panicked questions because you are lost will likely not be answered. So, factor in to your drive some extra getting lost time.
See you on the trail,
Charlie
