Name: Sun 11/17 @ Umstead - Co Mill to Big Lake (7-8mi) - 8:30am
Start: 2024-11-17T08:30:00-05:00

Lets do an early hike Sunday morning! Meet at the Reedy Creek entrance of Umstead State Park off of Harrison Ave. Come prepared to hike BRISKLY (but not superfast) at a 3-3.5 mph pace.

We will hike the first half of the Co Mill loop, take the MUT and Camp Road to the lakeside, maybe a bit of the social trail, then after a short break we'll return the same way. This route should be fine even after a lot of rain.

**The full route will be 7-8ish miles, with shorter option for 5 miles - and that's what we'll do if heavy rain is threatening or its too hot!**

Start at 8:30am on the Co Mill side of the parking lot. If it is drizzling at start time I will hike, pouring rain, I will not. If required for any reason, I'll cancel by 8am. We should be back no later than 11:30am- 12 noon.

Take I-40 to exit 287, Harrison Ave, head north (left on Harrison if you are heading east on I-40, right on Harrison if you were heading west on I-40). Go straight into the parking lot.

Wear the proper attire, bring water, snacks, etc. You know the drill. No small children please, but well-behaved dogs are welcome - must be on a leash and the leash in your hand, per park rules. If I have forgotten anything, please email me.
