A slower paced 2-3 mile hike for those over 50.

This is a beginner hike. In order to accommodate beginner hikers we will hike at the pace of the slowest hiker and/or wait for them at intersections. All hikers are welcome to take part in this hike with the understanding that the pace may be slower than you prefer if your are more advanced.

**Pace:** Beginner (As fast as the slowest hiker) 2.0 to 3.0 mph depending on participants
**Distance:** 2 to 3 miles depending on weather and hiker abilities
**Terrain:** Smooth and rocky surfaces
**Amenities:** Plenty of parking; restrooms

We will meet in the parking lot that adjoins the Governor Dick Environmental (Visitor) Center

**40.237555,-76.459305**

Please use these coordinates in Google Maps or other GPS software. There are three additional parking areas at Governor Dick that will leave you far from where we are meeting. There is no hunting on Governor Dick property so we do not need to wear orange.

This hike will take place in light rain. Governor Dick affords many trails that are safe in poor weather. I respect all hikers’ decision to only hike in weather that they enjoy. If you decide that the weather on the day of the hike does not suit you, all I ask is that you change your RSVP to "Not Going" at least 30 minutes before the hike.

We do not hike in **lightning**. If lightning is forecast for the time and location of the hike, the hike will be cancelled around 8:00 AM on the morning of the hike to give all who are signed up for the hike enough advance notice before they begin driving. If there is a doubt about lightning, I will post a comment either way. We wait until the morning of the hike since the lightning forecast frequently improves as we get closer to hike time.

**Coronavirus measures:** Do not hike if you have symptoms.

**No Pets - This is a rule for Governor Dick Events**
