Great to see you last night! Thanks for coming and glad to see you signing up for other events. There is a LOT going on right now! Its wonderful to see all the participation. The only Thursday for weeks that I could do the Squirrel Lake hike is 4/30. If that doesn't work, I know that one of the other HAWK leaders could do it. Let me know.
