Update as of March 4th. The Mayor just announced on Facebook that Ridgeline Trail was closed. Instead of the Lodge, we will meet at the Mill Park in Springfield, 200 S Mill Street where it deadends at the trailhead parking lot with bathroom and kiosk.

We will walk for 2 hours (out and back) on the Mill Race Path and then probably walk to 100 Mile Bakery for pie to celebrate Pi day. Celebrate Pi —3.1415926

Trip Report

Due to fallen trees on the Ribbon Trail, the location the of the Pi hike was changed to the Mill Race Path. I had the wrong address in the trip description causing confusion at the beginning of the hike. Even with phone calls and walking to the other meeting place, I couldn’t get the two groups back together. Nevertheless all enjoyed the sunny day. Margaret and Ruth had blackberry pie but by the time the second group arrived at the 100 Mile Bakery, they were out of pie. Tom won the book, The Simpsons and their Mathematical Secrets. The leader now knows that secret of a successful PI hike is to double-check the address.
