Turkey Walk-Off and Leftovers-4-Lunch Hike
Friday,

28, 2014
10:00 AM SOLANO LAND TRUST — Rockville Trails Preserve Remember the day AFTER Thanksgiving? Not into Black Friday shopping? Had enough TV football? Kids need wiggle-time? Nothing to do or offer your out-of-town visitors? What to do with the leftovers? Bring Thanksgiving leftovers, family and visitors, and let’s get outdoors and explore a hidden corner of Solano County. Space is limited for this free guided hike on Friday, November 28 from 10am to 2pm. Get details and sign up online. Enjoy great views and a stop for lunch to eat those Thanksgiving leftovers. Expect a 4- to 5-mile route with 400 feet of elevation gain, including an optional ascent to a 360-degree view for the real go-getters. Be prepared to hike on uneven ground, up and down rugged, steep and slippery hills. Take advantage of this opportunity if you can because Rockville Trails Preserve is only accessible by docent-led hikes at this time. There is no drinking water, and there are no bathrooms or parking lots at Rockville Trails Preserve. In order to protect wildlife, free-range cattle, and rare plants—and for your pet's safety—dogs are not allowed. Since the preserve is otherwise closed, the entry and exit gate will be locked except for the start and end times of the hike. Rain cancels. Call Steven at 707-474-8423 if the weather is uncertain. Bring a backpack with plenty of water, snacks and lunch. Wear hiking boots or sturdy closed-toe shoes with good tread. Long, sturdy pants are recommended, along with layered clothes, and protection from sun, wind and fog. You may also want to bring gaiters (to protect your legs from thorny plants), hiking sticks, bug repellent, binoculars and a camera. Leader: Steven Registration is required. Location: Fairfield DIRECTIONS: Meet promptly at the big red "Ice House" building on Suisun Valley Ct, near the intersection of Rockville Rd and Suisun Valley Rd, Fairfield, CA. Be ready to immediately carpool or caravan from there to the trailhead. |
