How many times do we go away for the weekend seeking to "unplug" for a couple of days? Then we dutifully track our heart rate, calories burned, and training zones on our smart watches; find our trail on our GPS; and send a quick text to our partner at home with our Inreach. This trip will be an effort to truly unplug and spend a weekend without modern technology. The destination is off trail and we will use map and compass to find it. All communication and tracking devices will be left at home.

I estimated 10 miles round trip, but if we have good navigation skills and find the most efficient route, the one way distance could be as little as 4 miles. Similarly, the difficulty rating is easy by the most efficient route.

Meet at 07:00. Location will depend on what's convenient for those who sign up. The destination and trailhead will remain unknown until the day of the trip.
