This challenging point to point shuttle hike will set out from the Bethel Rd (183) state game lands parking area and head south on the AT, crossing over Rt 501 and ending at Rt 645.  There will be a couple of viewpoints along the way.  Expect rocky and uneven terrain in areas, as well as around 1600' of elevation gain and another 1600' of descent.    Footwear with good traction and blaze orange hat and vest or jacket required since we will be passing alongside state gamelands.  Poles or hiking stick recommended.  Bring 2 L of water + electrolytes, snacks/trail lunch.  

**Please sign up on meetup or by texting Heidi at 703-402-1057 so that I have a head count for shuttling purposes.  If you are able to help with shuttling by meeting me ahead of time at 645 please let me know.  

The goal is to complete this hike around 2-3pm and be back to our cars about 30 minutes after finishing.
