Yo Dayton, Let's Hike! (20s 30s 40s)

Let's hike at Twin Creek Metropark. We'll do the orange loop, which is 6 miles. Plan is to go about 3-3.2 mph, a little faster in the flat parts and a little slower in the hilly parts.

There are several entrances. Check the map: we'll start at the High View entrance/parking lot. I'll do a pin too, but sometimes different phone providers are less accurate at interpreting the correct location from the pins.

Just a reminder to the new folks to post a comment if you'll be a few minutes late so we know to wait.

For those who want a longer hike, I may be amenable to staying longer after we stop at the parking lot for the regular hike.

5 to 6 mile hike at 3 mph at Caesar's Creek. Will cancel for rain. This event is cross posted

Overnight backpack camping event, geared towards beginners! Feel free to discuss in comments or direct message trip leader (Ryan Otte) if have questions regarding necessary gear to hike to the campsite and have a comfortable night at camp. ✌️

IMPORTANT:
***Required to provide vehicle info to park overnight. Five Rivers Metroparks rangers need to know what vehicles will be staying overnight in their lot. By the day before trip, provide vehicle info to trip leader via Meetup.com direct message and I can call the Metroparks staff to update the permit.

• vehicle manufacturer
• vehicle model
• vehicle color
• license plate state of issuance
• license plate number
  Of course, feel free to work out carpooling arrangements via comments as needed, and trip leader can pick up three people if need.

Less important:
* Distance: about 1.5 miles one way to campsite, 3miles round trip
* The capacity is 6 for the permit. Another site is available currently to maybe add another 6 if that is desired (of course, that site could be reserved already by that point, direct message trip leader Ryan Otte if want to get in on this fun with two sites).
* Permit cost is $7 without alcohol consumption capability. If you want to chip in a few dollars cash to share in the permit cost, not required on my part, though appreciated. If want to consume alcohol, notify me as trip leader as soon as you can.
* Feel free to strike up a conversation in the comments below to make sure you have all the gear or knowledge for a relaxing time. I will keep tabs on the comments or feel free to direct message if desired for preparation questions.

The backpacking sites are awesome within the Five Rivers Metroparks system. Great day hikes around the park can be had once we set up camp. Cheers!
