🌞 DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING HIKE 🦃 YAY!!

Proudly, no AI was (or ever will be) used in the writing of this (or any) event descriptions, past or future. They are always the brainwork of your hike leader.

The best way to increase your heart rate and burn some calories after a big Thanksgiving dinner is to drive on the L.A. freeways as you attempt to navigate the plethora of idiots who drive as if their tailpipes will fall off if they go over 40 MPH (in the fast lane).

The next best way is to hike with me, Katya! 😁 aka, "Lili Von Shtupp"; aka, "Hot Stuff"; aka, Your Intrepidly Outspoken Hike Leader.

Not only will your heart rate increase just looking at me, it'll go up from the trail we'll be hiking. That's because there's a hill (isn't there always?) In fact, there are a couple of hills, one of which goes down because as it is said in the ol' adage: What goes up, must come down!

I never thought it possible that one's IQ could do down but driving with all those idiots in Los Angeles has taught me that once they get behind the wheel, that's exactly what happens 🥸

No, no, no... I love people, especially foreigners, I really do. I am a foreigner! I'm just one that happens to know how to FRIGGIN' DRIVE!!
*ahem*
Look, it's compulsive.

Just in case you think I'm being unfair, well, I am. But I don't give a crap. And anyway, I have witnessed plenty of "Bro's" behind the wheel of their Priuses who mess up the roadways, too.

One roadway that isn't gonna be messed up? The best kind of roadway: the one we'll be hiking the day after Thanksgiving... YAY! 😃

It's not really a roadway, really. Sure, part of it is unpaved fire road, sans idiots of course. But it is trail, all beautiful, fantastic, breathtaking trail. Literally breathtaking. You'll be huffing and puffing on the incline and then again at the top when your breath will be taken away at the expansive 360° views 😮 Hell yeah, I don't mess around! I mean, I guess I could if you're really good-lookin' 😜

Can you bring your beloved doggo? Yes! But you must pick up and pack out their 💩 and keep them hydrated and leashed. Your dog, and the environment thank you 😌

We'll do about 5.5 miles with an elevation gain of about 900 ft. cumulative. That equals about the size of your sweet potatoes🍠 and pecan pie slice from the night before 🥧

Soooooo... you in?!!
Can't wait!!! 💋 💋 💋

DETAILS, DETAILS, DETAILS
🔷 Parking is unrestricted (ignore signs that say otherwise as the terminology is confusing) but you may have to walk a ways to get to the trailhead since there can be lots of cars.
🔷 We leave ON TIME. I HIGHLY suggest you arrive EARLY - give yourselves plenty of time to park and meet up. Please do not ask me and everyone else to wait for you.
🔷 Be prepared to enjoy yourselves - whiners will be fed to the mountain lions 🦁 (yeah, I know it's not).
🔷 Your hike leader is Hot Stuff, way better than the stuff-ing you had at TG dinner! Hahahahahaha... hahaha... haha... ha... ahem, sorry, it's compulsive.

DIRECTIONS:
From the 101 freeway in Calabasas (heading west towards Ventura), exit Las Virgenes Rd. and turn right. Drive approximately 1.5 miles to where the end of the road meets the trailhead in the cul-de-sac.
