Discovery Pk all levels, brunch, Ballard's market

This is a rain or shine event.

We will hike the loop plus the North and South beach for a total of about 5.5 miles with several opportunities to cut short. Picture is for a general idea of the route only. We actually make extra mileage at and around the beach. If you can't make it at 7.30 am at the meeting point, you may try to look for us around 8.15 at the light house, or 8.45 am at the Magnolia bluff, or 9ish am at the south parking lot. Note that we do not check messages while hiking.

All levels welcome from power walkers to beginners. No one left behind.
