Currently I schedule it for Sunday 08/09 but if the weather changes I will re-schedule for Saturday 08/08.

Distance: approx. 12 miles *(Please read the whole description including Q&A to avoid any confusion or inconvenience)* **Parking coordinates: 42.008648455236916, -74.42614765145596 (Slide Mountain Trailhead Parking lot on route 47)** *ATTENTION! PLEASE USE PARKING LOCATION COORDINATES GIVEN IN THIS DESCRIPTION ABOVE ONLY. DISREGARD ANY OTHER MAPS OR PINS.* It is out and back hike. We will visit several vistas and mountains and will have a lunch on the Cornell Mountain. *For those who register but do not want to stay with us the whole route I will appreciate if you let me know well ahead of time to see if the hike will happen at all*. I limit the size of the group to 10 as it is hard to care for a larger group. I will kindly ask those who register to stay with the group. Those who do not want to stay with the group are welcome to join us but, please, do not register and we consider you to be on your own. Please, be at the parking lot by 9am. Cell phone connection may be not available. Please, give yourself enough time to get there - we will get on the trail in time to be back in time and still have daylight time in reserve. **BEFORE LEAVING YOUR HOME, please, check this announcement for the last minute cancellation or changes (anything could happen and I will do my best not to waste your time)** **And if you register, please, be responsive to my messages regarding your attendance. In the case you change your mind please un-register or let us know ASAP so that we do not waste our time waiting. It is ESPECIALLY important if you are the only one registered - me and the whole trip depends on you, so please be respectful to my time also.** Bring hiking boots, at least 2 quarts of water, snack/lunch, layers, rain gear etc. *In the case you or your guests did not hike or had issues hiking before, please be considerate about your or your guests' physical shape and readiness to keep up with the group. Though un-predictable delays, even accidents, are always possible we all come to enjoy some physical activity to be on schedule and while we are all different, care for each other and stay together as a group I would like to avoid predictable unreasonable delays and slow downs.* If in doubt, feel free to contact me with your questions or concerns. FAQ: Q: Do you have a link to AllTrails? A: No. I usually plan my hikes using a map. It leaves some uncertainty and feel of adventure (otherwise it would be like eating partially digested food). If I have one I will post it in the description. Q: Do you know total accent for the hike? A: No. I plan hikes based on the length, available parking, good lunch spot or POI. Ups and downs are unavoidable. Usually it will be between 1500 and 3000 feet. Q: Is your hike still on? A: As soon as I decide to cancel the hike on any reason I will notify participants and cancel it on Meetup. That is why I ask to check this site periodically and before leaving your home. Otherwise it is still on, no matter how few people are registered. Q: What is a preferable way to communicate with you? A: Please, use preferably Meetup **EVENT** chat for communication (I just cannot monitor Meetup, Facebook, Telegram, SMS etc and I am trying to avoid answering the same questions on different platforms) On the day of the hike please call my phone (hopefully, provided that morning) as I will be driving and cannot use other ways of communications. Please have Meetup application installed on your phone as it is the only way for me to reach you if anything happens **Except of a very un-ordinary situations, no responses are provided and no calls are answered after 9pm** \-\-\-\-\-\- If you join us for hiking (or any other event), understand that you are responsible for your own preparedness and well-being and will hold no one else liable in case of injury or mishap.
