Jim caught an error on my post. Start time is 9AM, but the description stated 10AM. This is what happens when not careful with reposting a hike. Anyway, start time is 9AM.
baezfred · Apr 5, 2025
ignore the last statement. We will start at 10AM since we have to drop off the dogs at daycare first.

I sent everyone a message to let you know we are omitting Potash due to the trail not being packed and resulting time constraint. We still plan to do Hedgehog.

Sorry to miss this hike, but I need to drop out. Hope to catch you all soon on another hike!
