planned route of travel

Backpackers
Bring your gear or we'll happily stuff rocks in your pack.

Coffee House Connoisseurs
Let's burn fresh arabica beans & toss in Kraft caramels. We intend to keep it real cutting in copious amounts of heavy whipping cream! Everyone can throw a twenty spot in the trash and we'll all act like it's cool!

Spooky Goblins
Wear a HAZOWEEN costume, hide in the bushes & chase down lycanthropes.

Social butterflys
Forget the hike & hang out at one of the three official Autumn HAZFEST trailheads. Drink mincemeat pie beer with locally harvested coatimundi ear wax for that extra pungent kick you seek. Don't forget your smartphone, we'll play Nonot's new app Build a Bonfire.

Comfy Bed Haters
Come out the night before, playhouse, freeze your pumpkin off & hike in the morning feeling like a zombie!

This is sort of short notice, but I'll try and make it.

edit: nevermind. I already have another short-notice hike planned that weekend

I sort of remember that event from last year. I like the part about the restaurant.

Here we go again and I will be ready

No buttercup this year, I'm all in!

Shoot I thought this was a 4 by 4 loop as in taking jeeps and trucks, I might have to change that interested status..

Bases on recent trends I've updated the name of the event

@joe bartels
sometimes referred to as a "shameless bump" ;)

@chumley Indeed!

As a reminder this event takes place on a Saturday, eight weeks from tomorrow

My first haz hike was on icehouse....my hair still looked like widowmakers. Anyways I almost spit my alaskan beer out when I read the update.

I think the posting needs more color.

@chumley That was in honor of the RGB Font Brothers ( Eric & Darrell )

Quilting is like crack for old ladies. Can't tell you how much money my mom has wasted on patterns and materials. She sneaks it into the house when my dad is not around.

I can't believe only six people are signed up for this hike and jj haz 10 for his. Then again I can't believe 58 people are in favor of fees at phoenix trailheads

@BobP let me try and explain it to you...

about 24 mi / 6800 aeg

Not everybody knows that there are a variety of shorter options available where you can still hike with the group without signing up for the whole thing.

That, and people like JJ more. ;)
