Wednesday Burro - On Your Own!

On Your Own hikes mean that Burro hikers can sign up, gather at the mall, & decide together where they'd like to hike by consensus. As I will be out of town, I'm hoping that some will want to do this, sustain the Burro hikes in my absence, & Enjoy each other's company as you make the most of our beautiful autumn weather :) Burro Hikes are for experienced hikers, most of our hikes are moderate in difficulty (by our standards), usually on designated trails, typically 4-6 miles in distance unless otherwise specified. Non-aggressive, well-mannered dogs are welcome on all my hikes (unless otherwise specified, some locations prohibit dogs). Newcomers are welcome on all my hikes; I ask that newcomers please test your fitness for my Group by timing yourself hiking up and down Atalaya, which you should be able to do comfortably in 3 1/2 hours or less (starting from Wilderness Gate or staircase, using Steep Route option). If you have any questions about this, or about my hikes in general, please feel free to contact me through Meet Up Messaging or by text. Ronnie Chafel 617-331-1838 We meet at the DeVargas Mall, in the back of the parking lot; please park in a lane near the bowling alley, but not right up against the mall wall. We carpool to all THs. Please offer your driver $2 to cover gas expense for this hike. We leave promptly, so if you're running just a bit late, text me, & we'll wait 5 minutes for you. Please be considerate of those on the Wait List & sign off hike as soon as you know you cannot attend, preferably 24 hours in advance, if at all possible. PLEASE DO NOT NO SHOW. Repeated No Shows have consequences.
