Hi, ladies!! Due to the heat and scheduling issues, we'll have to skip hiking in July. 🤞 for cooler weather in August!!

• Hiking boots or sturdy shoes
• Moisture wicking clothes or athletic style comfortable clothes that will keep you warm, but not too warm (you don't want to get all sweaty!)
• Water bottle
• Bug spray-please use one that has at least 40% Deet to make sure those pesky ticks stay away!
• Hat-tick season is upon us! Here is a link for a bucket hat if you are interested: https://www.amazon.com/NPJY-Ponytail-Womens-Fishing-Bucket/dp/B0BQZZTKP9/ref=sr_1_17?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.MZGnilt2_687IUCOVoW562_eTMKxak_rylDu7XocyytHLuBAmNLtLU5rjPNx0pVk3AixomaiEHc1K8Q_va2-iEpI0QzNwEqKFBRtLVxaMfJhol1zC-K_CSTJxm-AliqUQQPoLsZEoO-4imySqfd3J8VTNX-tLHdgQny6vs7KJfH_H94rWZsasZ8XoIXWJJAeHR6oacshPdywmd7BSdWHmq5bazuRhshcaLMuYDeVIpdi2QeDOibv32tShfFb5WjNc6kFn2WvmHv02_Np_egG_8yDEAGiqzMB6fwQUXMaCUg.mBRnk5Ota7xQDbKcznEIkbpPw-sEhDeSpPYgn9G0uAk&dib_tag=se&keywords=hiking%2Bbucket%2Bhat&qid=1713968820&sr=8-17&th=1
