StonyCat Ridge Off-Trail hike on 19-May-2025

The blooming shooting stars indicated spring, but the cold wind felt like winter. After reaching the snow-covered high point, we retreated to a rocky spot out of the wind and in the sun for lunch with a few uninvited tick guests. Back at the cars after 5 hours. Thanks to a great group; it was nice talking to each one of you!
Participants: Gary, Susan, Carl, Sharon, Gary, Donna, Ingrid (coordinator), Deborah, Tatyana, Tina, Stephanie, Aga
