SUMMARY:Hocking Hills Women’s Getaway Weekend
DESCRIPTION:I have a couple last minute spots that have opened up and wanted to see if you would like to spend the weekend in Hocking Hills. We will be hiking and relaxing. I will be holding a drum making workshop but that should only take 5 hours. It should be a beautiful weekend. \nThe space sleeps 9\, it is secluded\, has its own hiking trails and a hot tub. It has 3 bathrooms. \nThe cost for 3 night would be $200 for 9 people. We can share the cost of food and prep\, go out to eat also. We’ll keep that part simple.\nLet me know if this speaks to you.

SUMMARY:A Hike and Swim at Warren Dunes
DESCRIPTION:This event starts at 12:00 pm ET (Michigan time) which is 11:00 am CT (Chicago time). because of the expected difficulty entering the park and parking\, expect that the hike will set off at 12:30 ET. \nbecause of the popularity of this park on summer weekends\, there could be extensive parking delays. if you can contact the organizers\, let them know if you will be late\, but they are aware\, and will give some latitude for this. \nif you are way late\, you might want to follow the instructions below for walking north on the beach and meeting the group when they descend to the shore. \ndear friends– \nThis hike is at Warren Dunes state park in Michigan. We had good times here in 2015\, 2016\, 2017\, 2019\, 2022\, and 2024\, so i hope we’ll a good time here in 2025. \nthis hike will be a collaboration with several other groups\, including \nRick’s Hiking and Fun Group https://www.meetup.com/ricks-hiking-fun-group/ \nWabash Valley Hiking & Social Group [https://www.meetup.com/wabash-valley-hiking-social-meetup-group/](https://www.meetup.com/wabash-valley-hiking-social-meetup-group/) \nthere is a gate fee to enter the park\, so be prepared. i believe it is about $10 for out of state per vehicle\, not sure what it is for in state. \nBe sure to check the weather beforehand\, and dress appropriately [https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/warren-dunes-state-park/49125/weather-forecast/30155_poi](https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/warren-dunes-state-park/49125/weather-forecast/30155_poi) . \nbring along a lunch which we will eat on the beach\, plus enough water (one quart minimum)\, a hat with a brim\, sunscreen\, etc. we will be both in the woods and on the beach\, and i’m not sure what conditions are like this time of year\, so make your own decisions about insect repellent. \nwe will meet at the farthest north parking lot\, near the washrooms. at that point\, we will discuss whether everyone wants to take the entire hike\, or if some would rather skip the inland part of the route and spend more time on the beach. \nthe hike route will be about 5 miles with at least 2-3 steep climbs. we will walk inland over Mt Randall\, and turn north and hike along Painterville Creek\, past the campground\, to the junction with the Blue Jay trail\, then we will descend to the lakefront on the Blue Jay trail with a spectacular view of the Lake\, before arriving at the shore. \nonce at the shore\, we will make an extended stop to swim\, hang out at the beach\, and eat our lunch. after that\, we walk about a mile along the beach back to the parking lot. \nif anyone would like a shorter hike and more beach time\, they may walk north along the beach about one mile\, and stop where the Blue Jay trail emerges from inland and hits the lakefront\, where the other hikers will end up after the inland part of the hike. watch from the point where a rather wide trail comes down to the beach\, just before the end of the park\, where lakefront houses begin\, and boats may be pulled up in the shallow water. \nthe shorter route\, just from the parking area to the swim stop and back is about 2 miles round trip. \nat the swim stop\, we can discuss whether anyone wants to go into nearby Sawyer to have dinner and/or visit the garden center and fruit market there. \nhope to see you\, \nErin and Rick \nfor past events at this location: \n2024 [https://www.meetup.com/ricks-hiking-fun-group/photos/34234329/](https://www.meetup.com/ricks-hiking-fun-group/photos/34234329/) \ndirections to Warren Dunes state park: \ntake 1-94 to Sawyer rd exit\, turn east; take Sawyer rd to Red Arrow hwy\, turn right; continue to Warren Dunes state park entrance\, turn left; continue on State Park rd to last parking lot\, park there; look for a crowd\, or call me at 773-415-0428; try to arrive by 12:00 PM EDT (11:00 AM CDT); we will wait till 12:30 EDT\, then depart on foot.

SUMMARY:Kayak Trip Down the St Joe River
DESCRIPTION:We can meet at St Pats park and going kayaking. The shuttle takes us to Keller park boat launch area go a 4 mile/ 3 hour float. This is their short trip. \nWe can bring a lunch and eat at St Pats park for either trip. \nIf you are renting it is $30 plus a $50 refundable deposit on the vessel. Cash might be easiest and they might require it. \nhttps://sjcparks.org/DocumentCenter/View/3458/Canoe-Group-Reservation-Packet-PDF \nIf you have your own kayak it is $15 for the shuttle for you and your kayak. Or we can meet and drop off at Keller Park boat launch and shuttle our cars to St Pats. It would just be the entrance fee. I believe it would help for some of us to do this because their shuttle only fits 18 people. Most who say they are coming will probably not so we might be fine. But if anyone wants to meet at the boat launch at 10:45\, we can shuttle cars over to the park.
