2020, what a year, right? By now most of us have been sheltered at our homes and are going stir crazy. Well, let's get out and get some fresh mountain air! We will be meeting at the posted coordinates at 8:30am. There is a $5 dollar parking fee. We will follow social distancing practices, and face coverings are required per the Sullivan County Mask Order.

After the event we will be making our way around the mountain. We will be leaving about 9:15am to make the trek around Lake Road. This is NOT required to attend the event, but I would love to have you take a stroll! The event will be a go regardless of the weather, so please plan properly. If you do decide to attend the hike, please bring yourself a lunch, plenty of water, and comfortable walking gear. Hope to see you there! Till then... Cache ON!!
