New Years Day Hike

Posted: 12/12/2010, 5:11 pm Post subject: New Years Day Hike

Let's start the New Year off with a Group Hike! Meet at the Mesquite Trailhead in the White Tank Mountains at 8:30. The hike is between 8.2-8.6 miles with a fair amount of elevation. Here's a link to HAZ that explains the hike further. I like to do the hike a little different than he describes but basically it's a lollipop loop! I do the hike often and it's a nice little hike.

And I am 62 years old so my speedy days are behind me. Also, I hike for fun and not willing to turn it into a contest. Plus, when you're at the back of the group, you get the best view of the young ladies! Laughing

There is historically some one for everyone to hike with. We are a good and friendly group of people and love to welcome new hikers. The group will most likely - but not always split up into different speed ranges but that's ok.

Maxpwer....Come and out and hike with us! I hope to keep the group pretty close together on this hike! This is New Year Hike to reunite with old friends and make some new friends. I am the Hike leader and I will stick with you for the whole hike. The average age of the hikers on this group hike right now is somewhere around 50 so it's not a race to the top. The weather is beautiful and the scenery is lovely. You'll have a blast!

Now...where is the rest of the hiking group? Come on gang...Those with kids...bring the kids...those hung over...bring your coffee. It's a new year...let's hike!

Very Happy

Linda

I'm still on the fence but will decide next week. Is anyone camping Friday night?

Yes Trish...I do believe Todd and Diane are camping. I would LOVE to have you come on over to my west side! I promise I will be over on the east side many times in 2011. I wish I could camp, however, I am babysitting. Maybe I'll bring my grand daughter over for a little of the camp fire. She would love that...and so would I! 2011 is going to be a great year!

Have fun in Vegas Bob!

So what is the camping plan? Anything in the works? Would that be camping before, or after, the hike?

You should talk to Todd but I think he was looking at both nights. I could be wrong though.
