Description:

We will travel up the Sam Merrill trail to the ruins of the inn. With luck youll get a little history lesson as well as a workout. If you arent lucky youll fall off the edge and the rest of us will laugh, so thatll actually be lucky after all.

Dogs and goofy attitudes welcome. Water and sunscreen recommended. The new Mummy movie not recommended.
