Please check your email! Please confirm you are still attending. I am leaving NH at 4 am, just wanted to make sure everyone is on board. It looks like there will be rain. How much is a mystery. Looking forward to the adventure.

If you find it invigorating to hike along a mountain trail with friends not knowing what’s just around the corner, to get some fresh air, to stop and soak in the views on a summit, and to soak your feet in a mountain brook after a hike, give us a try!
