We will walk to the start as a group, starting from the parking lot at 10:45. We will have a short briefing just before the start. So DON'T BE LATE. The distance is about 500 meters. You can leave some food or other items at the start/finish/map exchange if you like so bring that along at the same time.

We also wanted to inform people that there is a manhunt going on in the general area from an incident that happened a week ago about 35 miles away. We contacted the park and while they are encouraging people to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity, all events are proceeding as scheduled and the park is open for visitors. Hence we are proceeding as normal, but wanted to let people know in case they are uncomfortable with the situation and decide to skip the event. We will inform people if we learn any thing new. Here is one of several news stories you can find.

Indeed. Although this loony's weapon of choice is a rifle. The Highlander loony used a shotgun. BTW - The highlander is still out there. At least his remains are still out there waiting to be discovered. His relatives have been looking for him.
