🌄🎉 Let’s Hike McLean's Game Refuge! 🥾✨

***

🗓️ When: Sunday, June 1st, 2025, at 9 AM
📍 Where: McLean's Game Refuge Granby, CT
Join us for a moderately challenging 4.6-mile loop hike (Barndoor Hill Loop) at McLean's Game Refuge! 🌲 This trail is perfect for soaking in nature, getting some fresh air, and injecting the day with good energy and great company. 💪🌟
📍 Meet-Up Details:

• Time: 9 AM sharp
• Where: McLean's Game Refuge, Granby CT
• Depart: No later than 9:10 AM

🥾 What to Expect:
This trail takes around 3 hours to complete, depending on the group’s pace. And remember, our slowest hiker sets our group’s pace—we’re here to enjoy, not to race! 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ The goal is to connect with nature, boost our confidence, and make new friends. 👫🍃
🎒 What to Bring:

• Hiking essentials: Comfortable shoes, snacks, water, and weather-appropriate clothing.
• Gear for conditions: Extra layers, rain gear, and a pair of fresh socks, just in case! 🧦☔
• Optional but helpful: Hiking poles, tissues, a whistle, photo ID, and your medical insurance card.

🐾 Furry Friends Welcome!
Bring your dogs along as long as they’re friendly, leashed, and ready to hike. (Lucy, my hiking buddy, will probably join and lead the pack! 🐶✨)
🦠 COVID Guidelines:
Masks aren’t needed outdoors, but it’s a good idea to bring one along just in case.
🌟 Most importantly: Bring your good vibes, positive attitude, and love for the great outdoors. My hiking rule is simple: “No complaining until we’re done!” By the time we finish, you’ll feel too good to complain anyway! 😄
Let’s make this hike one to remember. Drop a 🌟 if you’re in! See you on the trails! 🏞️🎉

🌟 Meetup has increased its rates for running groups. Leading and organizing is a passion of mine, and I absolutely ❤️ doing it! While I’m not requiring a membership fee, I kindly ask for a $3️⃣ contribution per person for each hike 🥾. This will help cover my personal costs for managing the group and would be greatly appreciated 🙏. You can contribute at each hike you attend, or if it’s easier, feel free to Venmo me at @Jacqueline-Ross-39. Thank you for your support! 😊✨
