Hiking in Waterloo Rec -- 12ish miles, 4.5ish hours
Details
Meetup spot: https://goo.gl/maps/XpWnQb2kn8nyixhy5
We are leaving at 9:45 SHARP (so get there early)
THE PLAN:
A 12ish mile hike through the more remote and hilly trails in Waterloo Rec. The hike will be done at a moderately-fast pace (~3 mph) with multiple small breaks along the way.
*** WARNING -- PARKING IS NOT EASY TO FIND ***
The lot is on the east side off Baldwin Road about 0.4 miles south of Seymour Road. It is a two-track road that looks like a hidden driveway -- here is the street view:

It is easier to spot the semi-circular drive across the street
DOGS:
Yes, on a leash
BATHROOMS:
There are no bathrooms at the trailhead. We will pass two sets along the trail.
SHORTER HIKE:
This trail is a big loop so doing a shorter hike would be tricky.
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, please, factor into your drive some extra getting lost time.
See you on the trail,
Charlie
