We'll meet at the pavilion at the trailhead. Only one vehicle per site is allowed, so we can drive through the gate to drop off all our tenting gear and drive back to leave vehicles outside of the gate. We'll hike about 3-4 miles in and stop for lunch (bring your own) and a break, then hike back. Everyone is free to meander around the area. Dinner is pot luck, bring a little something to share. THERE IS A FIRE BAN, SO NO CAMPFIRE. camp stoves are allowed. We need to break down and leave by 10 AM the next morning, and whoever is interested can join me to hike in Chandler South for about 4 miles on the way home.

Hike about 2 1/2 miles on the oak and pine loops, followed by pot luck brunch under the pavilion. Meet at the bathrooms. Expect some roots and a couple sunny spots. Bring whatever you drink and a little something to share. I'll provide plates, utensils and napkins.
