Richardson Nature Center, flexible distance, Monday Morning Hike

Come ready for a moderate to slower paced hike (approx. 18-20 minutes/mile) in the Richardson Nature Center in Bloomington. Please know yourself and your pace, because I don't want to slow the entire group down too much. We will be pausing occasionally to allow slower hikers to catch up at trail intersections, but if you're too slow, you need to find a different hike. We will hike a route 4-6 miles in length, depending on the condition of the trails, the weather and even the whim of the leader. This hike is also flexible and can be shortened for people who have to leave earlier or want to hike less (We can separate into two groups). We will hike in light rain, but if conditions look too bad, I'll cancel the hike about 1-1/2 hrs before.
Meet at the corner of the parking lot at the entrance to the path to the actual Richardson Center building (pin location shown). We will be trying to form a circle somewhere to avoid getting hit by cars, run over by people, or vice versa. See the geographical location on the map. There are restroom facilities and water available. We will start on time if everyone is there, but will only wait five minutes past the meeting time for late comers.
No pets for this hike. People who don't update their RSVPs for changes or don't show up for the hike can cause others not to come (this can cause others to remain waitlisted). So, please, if your plans have changed and you are unable to attend, update your RSVP in a timely manner so we are not waiting for you at the start and to allow those on the waitlist to attend. If you're on the waitlist, within ~1/2 hour before the hike, do not come. So far, these hikes have not been full, so the waitlist has been a non-issue.
