CATTA VERDERA
Saturday, December 11, 2010


ALERT - special meeting place at the corner of Rossi and Grand Pheasant in the SE corner of SCLH. Plenty of parking on the S end of Coopers Hawk Lane or Blackhawk Lane.



DIFFICULTY - easy/moderate

 

HIKE DISTANCE - about 6 miles with 2 fairly steep hills

GENERAL LOCATION - E of Lincoln Hills

DESCRIPTION - It's a busy time of year, but we still need some exercise so this will be a brisk, medium- paced walk through the Catta Verdera neighborhood.  Part is on walking trails and part is on the private, gated road.  There are panoramic, golf course and backyard views and a crossing of Orchard Creek.  On the pre-hike, we saw deer, quail and lots of turkeys, but who knows after Thanksgiving?!

TRAVEL TIME and COST - 0. We should be back to our vehicles around 10:30 so there is still plenty of time to shop or whatever.

FACILITIES - golf course restrooms

PREPARATION for HIKE - Comfortable walking shoes are fine, but bring water. Rain cancels

RISKS - crossing Twelve Bridges on foot twice and going to the wrong meeting place (remember Rossi exit).

LEADER/QUESTIONS - Barb Proffitt 434-6271

 

MEETING TIME - 8 AM  at Rossi Lane - depart 8:15
