This is a two day one night loop around lake Georgetown. This is a fairly flat 29 mile hike but some areas can be very rocky so hiking poles are recommended. This is a beginner friendly trip but the miles may be hard on some. This trip is highly recommended for those signed up for the Teton backpacking trip as a shakedown hike. We recommend to have a pack weighing around 30lbs to simulate an actual wilderness multi day trip. We will be starting at Jim Hogg park going counterclockwise. Making a stop at Tejas for lunch and to refill water. Then over to Sawyer or Cedar Hollow camp for the night. The next day we will continue our trek around stopping at Cedar breaks and the fishing platform for water if needed. This is a fairly easy hike but there are multiple bail out points if needed. Most people bail because they carry too much gear or get blisters. So wear good socks and shoes and pack light as you can. Food and water: You will need lunch for two days, 1 dinner and lots of snacks and electrolytes. Freeze dried backpacking food is recommended. Salty savory high calorie snacks as well. It could be cold and wet or 100 or both this time of year so stay hydrated. I don't trust the water out of the lakes or streams so we will be stopping at park TH’s to resupply at the faucets . I will have a filter for emergencies . Clothing: this will depend on the forecast but will most likely be cool in the mornings and warm in the afternoon so dressing in layers is recommended . Always have rain gear. Extra socks are recommended as well as a hat and Sun glasses . Treat your clothes with permethrin for ticks. Treat this like its an dry run for the Teton trip and you will get the most out of it, and most of all have fun! **Cancellation policy:** If you will not be able to make the hike, please be polite and change your RSVP to "not going" so that we don't wait for you at the trailhead. \# Event Waiver and Release of Liability\# By confirming your attendance (RSVP) to this event, you acknowledge and agree to the following terms: 1. **Assumption of Risk**: You voluntarily assume all risks associated with participation in this event, including but not limited to risks of bodily injury, property damage, or other losses that may occur during the event.

We'll chat, eat, and maybe even play a few games. We'll be at the table with the green flag (unless I forget the flag!) Ni babilos, manĝos, kaj eĉ ludos kelkajn ludojn. Ni estos ĉe la tablo kun la verda flago (kondiĉe ke mi ne forgesos la flagon!). Hablaremos, comeremos, y quizás hasta juguemos algunos juegos. Estaremos en la mesa con la bandera verde (¡si no se me olvida la bandera!).

This is the third year the Girato nel Buio Winery has released " **Cupid's Love Bolt** ". This limited edition wine vintage has, in the past, been met with mixed reviews, however the winery's release parties have always gotten Excellent tabloid coverage (which the winery considers to be effective and free advertising!) due to the winery's encouraging attendees' indiscreet behavior and risqué costumes. But after the prestigious guests have arrived and are all awaiting the announcement of the beginning of the tasting, a man is found dead in the cellars! Who killed him? Why? There are many secrets to uncover as YOU and the other Guests continue to sample the wines, question each other, talk together, laugh, and share insights you've gotten, in your attempt to solve the Murder at the Winery! \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- As **only the most flamboyantly-costumed and well-connected** have ever been invited to attend these annual release parties, YOU feel most complimented when **YOU received the following note from the Girato nel Buio winery:** "Dearest Friend, "Enclosed, please find your **Costume-Required invitation** to our exclusive, annual tasting event at **Girato nel Buio Winery**! "On the eve of our winery's launch of its exclusive, limited 2026 edition vintage, "***Cupid's Love Bolt -A wine shot that says 'I don't bite, you know...unless it's called for...'*** ", we at the Girato nel Buio Winery are opening our doors for YOU to attend this year's annual, and Very Private, Costumed Celebration and tasting! "We look forward to your RSVP, seeing your Cupid/Fantasy-related costume, and you coming to share our newest vintage "Cupid" wine with us and just a few of our closest friends! "Sent Most Sincerely, ...the Proud Owners of the Girato nel Buio Winery! " \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Our "Costumed Murder Mystery Party and Pot Luck" meetup group gets a "5 STAR" rating every time!** Why? Have YOU ever been to a Party where · You get a wine-tasting **cup with lights inside**? · **Balloons** and **themed cutouts** covering the walls? · **Murder Mystery Prizes** for Costumes, Investigators, and Suspects? · SELFIES with **7-foot “winery/bar” backdrop** (YOU and new friends?)? · A **customized “Cupid, a Fantasy” wine** for tasting?

If all the Suspect roles have already been taken or you'd prefer not to be a Suspect, then you can be just one of several generic murder "Investigators". (Note: "SUSPECTS" also are "Investigators", trying to sleuth-out who committed the murder, because until the end of the party, NO ONE knows who was the actual murderer!) **From 4:30 – 5:00**, you can mingle/get to know the other guests at the Murder Mystery Party while imbibing whatever BYOB you've brought. **Around 5:00**, everyone will sit down together and enjoy the Pot Luck dinner, talking and eating together whatever main course (or favorite side dish or salad) selections folks brought to share. **Promptly at 6:00**, the Murder Mystery will start with an announcement that a body has been found at the party scene and that everyone should help the investigation by asking/talking to everyone else to uncover the clues and find out who among us is most likely to be guilty of the murder. (Note 2: Everyone can continue snacking from the buffet table and enjoying their beverages throughout the Murder Mystery.) **Around 8:30** everyone will submit a secret ballot who they think is the murderer. **Finally, around 9:00**, the announcement will be made which of us actually did commit the crime! \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Remember:** **you’re coming to our Murder Mystery Party to LAUGH and have FUN –wear a unique costume you feel happy showing-off in.** I've led several Costumed Murder Mystery Parties (see the pictures across the event sites), and EVERYONE has had a GREAT TIME! I'm looking forward to seeing YOU and ensuring **YOU'LL have a FUN and MEMORABLE time** along with everyone else at our Party! \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Costume examples:** · Angel, · Aphrodite, · Butterfly, · Cleopatra, · Couple: One as a cupid, the other as a heart-struck victim, devil, or angel, · Cupid ("good" or "evil" version, and costumed as androgynous, female, or male), · Delilah, · Devil, · Egyptian Queen (e.g. Nefertari, Nefertiti, Tiye, Cleopatra…), · Elf, · Fairy, · Flirty party outfit in white and/or red (bodycon dress or miniskirt?), · Formal suit and tie, · Genie, · Goddess, · Heart, · Peter Pan, · Pixie, · Princess Psyche, *·* Queen of Hearts *(from Alice in Wonderland),* · Robin Hood, · Succubus, · Toga, · Venus, · Wine bottle, · Witch… And accessories could include: · heart-shaped necklace and/or earrings, · heart-shaped sunglasses, · red or white bow & arrow · red or white feathered wings or halo. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- I HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON!

Bring a whiteboard or a laptop or a piece of paper. We will be solving 1 easy and 1 medium problem on LeetCode. We have no rules for being late or leaving early, you can be late and start from the second problem or do the first one and leave. The main idea is to work together on it, share thoughts and discuss a solution. For those who don't like the time pressure during the session, I will be posting problems in the comments for the session 1 day in advance.

Some trained COUNT volunteers work together once a month at RMH (http://www.rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer.php) as Housewarmers (usually on the 1st Sunday from 1 – 5 PM).

Dinner for the women is 5-6 pm and for the families is 6:15-7:15 pm. There is ample free parking available in the shelter's lot. The recommended area to park is in green in the image above.

This door is located between the Single Adults and Family Shelter. You will see 2 large garage doors with a large green trash compactor in the center.
