We will plan on starting the hike at 5:00pm sharp! With the days now a bit longer, the sun is scheduled to set at 7:14pm this night. Bring your weighted pack and capture a picture of the sunset in order to check off your conditioner requirement for the course* If the skies permit, we will also have the opportunity to see the full moon rise.
*Sunset photo only guarantees conditioner requirement will be met for members of the Metz/Dittig SIG. Please consult your individual SIG leader to verify requirements :)
In the interest of full disclosure, for three years running, I have yet to see the sunset or the moonrise. This conditioner will go rain or shine. Let’s hope the fourth theme is the charm this year.
