Hunter Orange will not be required for this hike!
We will be hiking through forest and field, and around the pond. This hike is not particularly difficult but I gave it a 2 1/2 level for distance and steady pace, with stops as necessary.
Please be prepared with good hiking boots, extra water for hydration and protection from ticks and the disease they carry. Always bring that magnetic personality, along with your charm and wit, and be prepared to use them.
