Dear Friends:

The EZ Riders will do the East end of the Gainesville-Hawthorne Trail tomorrow, 7 March, leaving the Witness Tree Junction Trailhead at 9:00 AM, and returning their in time do lunch somewhere, maybe the Kickin' Devil.  The weather looks to be fine.

The Witness Tree Junction Trailhead is to be found at the intersection of the Trail and SR 234 (and 2082, for that matter), in the heart of metropolitan Rochelle.  There is an unpaved parking lot there.  Bring bug juice because the ticks are active, sun screen, water (no services), whatever else your heart desires.  This section of the Trail is flat and relatively smooth.  Suitable for families and children.  We leave no one behind.

Cheers,

George
