    Danny, you missed it. Sharon showed us what a speed hike is supposed to be. Great fun though. It was good to see all the new folks.

    Fun group and awesome hike. It was great seeing the regulars, the new members, and the return of some who have missed hikes with their summer schedules. Danny- we missed you! It is so cool to watch everyone develop their hiking speed and endurance! Dandy and Karen were the leaders of the pack on 2nd loop. Great job Ladies! A lot of August Birthday's in this group... Happy Belated Birthday to Karen, Lisa, Dandy, and Hank!

    Nice hike; trails were in good shape; very little mud; nice group of hikers to talk with; very hot day; shower felt great!

    Ugh. I really thought it was at 12:30 - showed up at 12:30 and obviously nobody was there so we decided to hike the Orange trail ourselves - it was hot and muggy but it was fun - the maps said it was 3.8 miles but maybe we didn't do the whole thing since GPS said it was only 2.1 miles after we finished the loop. Waited around until about 1:30 but really didn't have much energy to go for another 5 miles after that :P sorry - I will look carefully at the time next time - hope you all had fun!

    Helped set a trail marker, set some stone in a low spot, and level a section of the trail......it was great...my first work day. It was a great feeling to work in the park I spend the most time in.....love the trails.

    Great opportunity for people to stop in and look at backpacking equipment. Everyone was able to try packs on, use trekking polls, look at the variety of equipment, and ask questions. Wonderful event! Thanks to the staff of Metroparks.

    Fast pace on a very hot day! Definitely a challenging conditioning hike. The trail was dry. Following the second lap we met with MetroParks staff to hear of pending changes to the trails. The changes will make the trails more sustainable by minimizing erosion but the trade off will be the elimination of the steep hills some of us love to climb -the reason I enjoy hiking here. Oh well I will adapt easily to the less strenuous hike.
