Hams In The Hills (McKinstry Peak Front Page Promo)
HAMS IN THE HILLS IS BACK WITH ANOTHER “SNOW ADVENTURE”
The objective is to explore the trails at McKinstry Peak and McKinstry Lake area. However, there is likely to be a fair amount of snow remaining in this area as well as on the roads leading to this area. In that case, we will be doing some snow wheeling and going where we can until the lead vehicle gets stuck.
Date: April 15th, 2023
Meetup: Mar Val’s Market on 6049 Front Street in Georgetown,
Meetup Time: 0800 / Departing at 0900.
