We are kicking off our inaugural Panhandle hike on 2/22/19 @ 9am.
Turkey Creek is a 1.8 Mile round trip. Ill be using GPS and a stop watch to set a stop point for record keeping purposes at the 3 mile mark. This is a nature trail in town with easy access parking for the first hike. Later hikes will be more rural.
Keep in mind Open carry is not legal in FLorida.
We are trying to qualify everyone during this hike as.
b.Provisional.
1.In order to achieve a Provisional rating, a prospective member must complete one hike, 3 miles in length, with at least two other persons unrelated to them as witnesses. The prospective member must complete the hike in under an hour while carrying 25lbs (excluding water weight) in a pack, and a long gun. The prospective member may choose to omit the long gun and instead add an additional 10lbs dry weight to their pack.
This will give everyone a chance to evaluate where they are physically before tackling the 6 mile 2 hour 45lb trip.
