Description:

I'M CANCELLING THE HIKE. I AM NOT AS MUCH WORRIED ABOUT THE WEATHER THAT DAY AS I AM ABOUT THE SNOW LEVEL'S BEING PERHAPS AS LOW AS 3000 FEET BEFORE THEN. EVEN WITH MORE RAIN, SNOW IS LIKELY TO BE A CONCERN ON BOTH THE DRIVE AND THE HIKE. WALDO WILL BE THERE NEXT YEAR.

PLEASE CANCEL HERE OR EMAIL ME AT MSSQ@COMCAST.NET TO LET ME KNOW YOU READ THIS. IF YOU WANT TO DO THE ALTERNATIVE HIKE, LET ME KNOW. IF MORE THAN ONE SIGNS UP, I WILL ASK TO PUT THAT ONE ON THE SCHEDULE AND WE WILL SEE WHAT SUNDAY LOOKS LIKE AT LOWER ELEVATIONS. IT'S CURRENTLY A 60% PROBABILITY OF RAIN WITH HIGHS AROUND 60. GOOD DAY, PERHAPS TO TEST RAIN GEAR.

***ALTERNATIVE OPTION IF INTERESTED***Explora (I haven't been on it) hike to Heckletooth and Aubrey Mountains near Oakridge, 8 miles and about 2000' vertical. This is a mountain bike/hike path and would be in the area north of Rte 58 just east of Oakridge. If interested, you will be hiking one way or the other. The starting time for that hike would be 8 am.
