HIKE MARYLAND - extended weather forecast

This is something I've thought about for quite some time, and hopefully there are others out there who also have an interest. My family and I are going to Hike Maryland. One hike a month, different locals. We live in a beautiful state, and since having surgery and losing the weight, I now have the physical ability and the want to start checking it out. I will pick an area and post the details. Just email me privately with any interest or questions or ideas. Here's the 1st hike: Date: Saturday April 14 Time: 10AM Place: Oregon Ridge Park/ 13401 Beaver Dam Road ****eysville, MD 21030 - http://midatlantichikes.com/oregonridge.htm (read about the hike at this website) Rain Date: Hopefully the weather will always cooperate, but if not, we'll assign a rain date. A little park info - The largest county-run park in Baltimore, Oregon Ridge is 1,000 acres of outdoor entertainment. The huge hill used to be popular with skiers before newer resorts arrived, but the park is still a favorite for hiking, climbing, running and hang gliding. There are picnic and play areas and a large amphitheater where the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra performs in the summer. Rock concerts are also held throughout the year, hosting such past performers as Eric Burdon and the New Animals and WAR. During the fall, the annual Walthers Grassroots Music Festival gets park goers grooving. While musicians sing and play, hot air balloons soar high above. The Oregon Ridge Hot Air Balloon Festival features colorful balloons that take over the sky -- watch out for the big pink flying pig. -- Stacy Noyes (Photo: Courtesy of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra) We'll keep the hikes kid friendly and not too physically demanding. I look forward to hearing from anyone who wants to join us. No parking or entrance fee. *** Extended Weather Forecast*** Saturday: Showers. Highs in the low 50s and lows in the upper 40s. Keeping my fingers crossed that the weatherperson is once again wrong! Will post again Friday eve and make a decision. If needed, will post a raindate. TTFN! TraciL

Oregon Ridge is a lovely place to walk. My ex and I used to go there all the time. It is also a fun place to swim in the summer. I'd join, but already have plans.
