***RAINOUT/CANCELLED*** 13TH ANNUAL BLUEBELL DOG WALK

I'm just going to go ahead and cancel this hike, due to ongoing rain.

************************************

It's our 13th ANNUAL BLUEBELL HIKE on the Al Foster. Easy, level, paved trail. This is one probably the best bluebell field in STL county. They are awesome.

There's a small creek to cross to get back to the spring, but you can wait on the main trail and skip that part, we come back the same way to get you. You need waterproof boots here usually, water is about 2"-3" deep, but it's a beautiful little dirt trail, about 1000 feet long. Lots of bluebells on this trail. Creek will be deeper this time, and there are logs down on the trail to the spring. So we might not be able to do this part.

There are bikers and they go fast. Important to stay to the right and give bikers/hikers room to pass. The trail can be a little busy on weekends, especially in bluebell season.

Arrive early and be ready to go at scheduled time. We hit the trail at 10:00, with or without you.

About 4.5 miles, out and back.

DRIVING DIRECTIONS:

Use meetup mapping or GPS.

Old State Road about 1/4 mile to Ridge Meadow School on the right. We meet at the far end of the parking lot, by picnic tables.

No bathroom here, stop somewhere before you arrive.
