Hello All!
We will be heading to Land of Medicine Buddha for about a 9 mile hike. We will follow the 6 mile loop trail, back track a bit to the 2 mile loop train and end with a contemplative hike around the 8 verses Pilgrimage Trail.
I am figuring this hike will take us about 4-5 hours at a 2 mph rate. A little longer if we dally, a little less if we are feeling exuberant.
We will need to carpool in and will need to arrive at the hiking site at 9am to ensure we will have a place to park. Depending on the number of folks going we will likely either meet at the Safeway on 41st or the Heart of Soquel County Park.
After the hike we will meet for a potluck BBQ where our host will graciously supply our entree as well as libations! Address to the BBQ site will be provided at the hike.
If you have any questions please let me know.
Some important info about the land we will be visiting:
