March 9, 2019 Hike Summaries

Unfortunately both hike events scheduled for this past Saturday ended up being cancelled.

The Crab Orchard Cemetery hike ended up being cancelled about Thursday because of a lack of interest. If you were really interested in this hike idea and want this to be rescheduled in another hiking season, please comment and lets us know your thoughts because we don’t know if the lack of interest was because of weather or for other reasons.

The four waterfall hike wasn’t called off until Saturday morning because of predicted storms and frequent lightening being detected at the meeting point. We did have a few people show up, but for the most part everyone chose to stay home.
