Tweet 6/25 This was a sweet urban hike. I suppose it was because the meetup was on a Wednesday at 10 am, but no one showed up, which actually, I’m glad about that. This hike turned out to be a lot more rugged and difficult than I would have expected. I had to do some [...]

May 20, 2008 No Comments
