Please do not sign up without leader permission as you're name will be removed.  We do need to do a pace of about 1500ft/hr to avoid the group getting cold. 

Would love to have you on the hike if it is a good fit for you, hence the sign up with leader.  Please email a list of hikes that you have completed, in the last few months, of similar length and difficulty and with which leaders.

Dress appropriately at the start of the hike so that you will be relatively comfortable until  stops are made for clothing adjustments. All breaks WILL BE taken as a group to avoid multiple delays.

The leader will meet the group at the Bakerville exit at 8 am.
