!PADDLE! Suttle Lake (SUTTLE LAKE hike event at 11:15AM after this event)

This is the PADDLE EVENT. LET'S DO DOUBLE DUTY! Paddle for an hour and a half and hike SUTTLE LAKE to top the morning off!
*PLEASE ONLY RELATIVELY EXPERIENCED PADDLERS. NO BEGINNERS PLEASE.*
TIME IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE, DEPENDENT UPON WEATHER
KEEP YOUR RSVP CURRENT.
I'm doing this a different way- Paddle first, Hike second - because of the wind that comes up on the lake towards the later morning. So I thought: Begin the morning with a PADDLE AROUND THE LAKE (before it gets too windy) and then HIKE THE 3.5 MILES AROUND THE LAKE.

***You can join us for the paddle only or the hike only. Or BOTH! (See the !HIKE! event in conjunction with this one.)
ARRIVE EARLY-LAUNCH IS AT 9:30AM! BRING SNACKS, WATER, ALL BOATING SAFTEY AND PERMITS, LIFE VESTS, SUNSCREEN/BUG SPRAY, COME PREPARED FOR ANYTHING!
PLEASE MAKE A NOTE IF YOUR PLANNING ON BOTH EVENTS or JUST HIKING OR PADDLING.

PLEASE NO DOGS.
