Ghost Redwoods (this Sunday!) ~ ExGld
Hello Explorers!
Sunday is going to be our first outing of the year, and there’s a couple of updates to the event that have been included below.
Hot on the heels of the Ghost Redwoods will be our first Curio (February 9th), for those looking for a more cozy crafting experience. Our next dispatch will delve more into that.
As mentioned before, events coming up will continue to get updated on our calendar (iCal link).
Ghost Redwoods Exploration, (Sunday!) February 2nd
Join us on this journey of discovery, where the thrill of the unknown meets the call of scientific curiosity. As we delve into the heart of the forest, our path will demand respect for the land and reverence for its delicate treasures. Together, we shall tread softly, observe keenly, and preserve the sanctity of these spectral sentinels, guarding their existence from the world beyond.
The Ghost Redwoods await. Will you answer the call?
Logistics:
Meet at the Henry Cowell Visitor's Center at 11:30am
Update Forecasts show a little rain this weekend, so be prepared for wet trails and unsettled clouds. We’re still planning for the event and we hope you aren’t deterred.
Update We’ve altered our route to maximize the redwoods. Linked is our new route, 4.49 miles, 764ft elevation gain.
Update Parking can be limited, so it’s highly encouraged to carpool. Heather has created a carpooling sheet to help find or offer rides. Additional conversation around carpooling is happening on the #0202-ghost-redwoods Slack channel.
