Honorable mention to Mike for going up Flag Hill before the heat got the better of him. Wise man!

Why we hike

Most people did the "Sarah Trail", coming off the backside of Flag Hill to Welsh Road. Very nice (even though my knee took a beating)! Karl didn't want a repeat of last week's crapfest, so he wisely stuck to the official trail, with Stacy and Nik. It's all good!

Milestones:

Bharati's 10th leaf
Kathryn's 20th leaf
