What Members Are Saying About This Trip/Event
- A thousand thanks to Jonathan Clark for organizing and leading this delightful and well-attended hike. And did I mention that he even made coffee-flavored brownies for the entire team. All-in-all just a delightful way to spend a glorious Spring day in the company of a flock of friendly and fun men in the woods. - VideoCowboy
