CRITERIA FOR PARTICIPATION

• Personality and attitude question: Hypothetically, if the weather forecast is for 44 degrees and 80% chance of rain all weekend, would you come? Those were the actual conditions on this hike a few years back. The hike will go on. Bottom line: don't sign up if you are not sure you are coming.
• Voluntary/Mandatory bailout at 18 miles if you are not there in 7 hours. Safety first.

Hope to see you there for an awesome weekend!
