Name: 14-18 mile Mt Konocti hike (Lake County) #BonusMiles
Start: 2024-11-30T10:30:00-08:00
End: 2024-11-30T16:00:00-08:00

I'll be starting at my usual location near 7th and Church and heading up to the trailhead starting at somewhere between 7:30am. I'll be ready to meetup with everyone and get the second part (the fun part) up to Wright Peak started by 10:30. There are a couple of cool places we'll visit, which include a quick detour to **Homesteader's Cabin** (built by Mary Downer in 1903) and/or a jaunt over to **Howard Peak**. The Bonus Miles (4 to 6) can be done as extra credit when we get near those locations. For reference on what the hike looks like can be found here (from the time it was hiked in 2014):

Wear hiking boots. Bring a lunch & water. Wear warm layered clothes or rain gear as necessary. Updates for the weather conditions will be on a date closer to the hike, There are restrooms and water at the trailhead plus 2 more restrooms on the trail the last time this was done, but may have changed. It would be best to take care of such needs beforehand.
