A great combination of new folks and previous members/friends. The trail was super with a great lookout view of the farm fields and forest below, a stream and water fall, a lake, some boulders to clime, etc. We had it all, IN ADDITION to a wonderful picnic at the end. OH and I almost forgot to mention, the PERFECT WEATHER really helped.
