We can work our way back to Smoky Hills and if time permits, there are other trails we can explore near the parking area.

Dan spoke to The Stompin Grounds, they expect to be busy Saturday, but will do their best to get us tables. Prepare a sandwich as a backup.
Dan planned the ride for the Club, with the first stop at Thorpe Overlook, the Fall colors should be amazing from there. The next stop is at Little Gulch Lake Campground, for a bathroom break.
A special thank you to Dan for providing the Ride Command route. https://bnc.lt/RFZm/7kMbhNFXvNb
