Night Hike: Jesusita on 9/3

Published on August 31, 2009 in Social Events. 1 Comment Tags: , , , .

In honor of Thursday’s so-nearly-full-you-can’t-tell-it’s-not-full-yet moon, we’ll head out on our next night hike.

When: Thursday, Sept. 3 at 6 p.m.
Where: Meet in front of the Panda Express at La Cumbre. Then we’ll carpool to the Jesusita trailhead.
Who: You, your friends, your well-behaved dogs
Why: We do this every month. Haven’t you been paying attention? And, it’s fun.
Note: This is through an area that burned earlier this year. It will not be lush and green, and depending on trail conditions, we may have to play the evening by ear. If you want to see the burn area, this is a good time. The trail may be closed again soon so planes can drop erosion-control materials there. 

In the spirit of trying something new, please RSVP in the comments of this blog entry if you’ll be able to join us.

It’s that time again. Let’s hit the trail for an evening hike.

Come along on July 30 as we get a little evening exercise, chat with friends and survey some of the fire damage to the Tunnel Road and Inspiration Point trails.

We will meet in front of the Panda Express at La Cumbre plaza at 6 p.m. From there, we will carpool to the trailhead.

I recommend that you bring water, a flashlight/headlamp and a small snack. Please wear sensible shoes for walking and dress in layers.

Invite your friends. They’re welcome to join! Cameras, dogs and binoculars are also welcome.
