Cedar Park Run/Walk and Socialize (and beer!)

We will gather in the back parking lot area (where it is shaded) for a couple of announcements/instructions before we head out on the course around 6:40 pm. There is a short sidewalk from SB to the loop around the ponds. We will run/walk the loop which is a little over 1 mile around. You choose how far you want to go; 1 lap, 2 laps, 3 laps or more. Or, of course, feel free to join us for just the socializing beginning around 7:30.

We will have tables reserved on the patio. SB has a wide assortment of beverages, food, and entertainment. To learn more about SB visit their website https://sparebirdie.com/

Hope to see you there!!

Join me for a fun adventure at Jim Hogg Park on Lake Georgetown! I have reserved 3 camp sites for up to 24 people for the night of 11/16/24. Do not let anything prevent you from joining this event! I have plenty of camping equipment and have a resource to rent more if needed. We will share the cost of basic provisions and, of course, you are welcome to bring whatever makes you happy in the outdoors! ;)

PLEASE NOTE: If you are not able to stay overnight, you are more than welcome to just come hangout with us during the day/evening! I will also be posting group activities that you will be able to sign up for.

At least one of the three camp sites will be adult only but the others will be family friendly so bring the kids and/or dogs! Bring your hiking shoes, bikes, frisbees, fishing gear, etc. to add to the fun. Also, please consider bringing little or no electronics with you. Take this opportunity to disconnect!

If you have any questions about this event please message me or, better yet, come to one of our regular meetups on Tuesday of Thursday evening where you can chat with me. Again, please do not let anything keep you from coming to this event. All you need is a the desire to attend!!

Also, if we go over the 24 people allowed in these 3 camp sites, I will reserve more so don't let that concern you either!

The RSVP will close on the night of 11/13/24 so we have time to get equipment and provisions.

Join me for a pleasant 3.9 mile out and back hike from Russell Park to Walnut Springs Park along North Fork of the San Gabriel River in Georgetown. This trail is rated as easy and has a review rating of 4.5 stars according to the "All Trails" app. "This is a fun trail with a mix of terrain from technical rocky sections to flat and smooth surfaces along the lakeshore. The trail follows a beautiful ridgeline until you descend close to the lake as you approach Walnut Springs."

Bring water and wear good shoes as there are some rocky sections of the trail. Sunscreen and a cap/hat are also recommended. Be sure to check the weather and dress accordingly.

This is a "stand-alone" event but also coincides with our group camping event on the same day. For those that are coming to the camping event, this will be the first of many fun activities for the day. Upon completion of the hike, campers can return to Jim Hogg Park for lunch.

Please bring your mountain bike and join me for a gentle ride of about 10 miles through Jim Hogg park and parts of the Goodwater Loop near the park. We will stay together and no one will be left behind. Plan on a 15-30 minute break to explore and rest a little before heading back. How far we actually go will be based on whoever sets the pace. Consider this a social event with a little bit of easy bike riding.

We will meet at the group campsites (49, 51, and 53) at Jim Hogg park. This is a stand-alone event but will also include anyone who is attending the group camping event on 11/16/24.
