Sun, 7/13, 7:15PM : Full-moon Mission Peak Hike

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

 

This should be an exciting event!

 

This is a full-moon hike up Mission Peak. I've

checked the charts and sunset is 7:30 and moonrise is

scheduled for 8:03. With the setting and rising so

close together, we should be in for a real treat at

the top!

 

Meet at 7:00 at the trailhead. We'll head up at 7:15

sharp. It should take us about an hour to reach the

top so we'll see the last hoorah of the sunset and we

can enjoy the full moon with a snack.

 

WHAT TO BRING:

Water

A snack to enjoy at the top

A flashlight, preferably with a red filter (more on

this in a bit)

 

WHAT TO WEAR:

Bring layers. The hike up should be challenging but

you'll want something warm to toss on at the top. It

will be chilly.

 

HOW TO GET THERE:

Take 880 or 680 to Fremont. Exit on Mission Blvd and

go east. About 1/2 mile east of 680, turn right on

Stanford Ave and follow it until it dead-ends at the

trailhead.

 

WHY A RED FILTER?

Some of us may want to hike down by moonlight. The

red filter will prevent flashlights from interfering

with our night vision. It doesn't have to be anything

sophisticated. Red cellophane from Michael's or a

similar crafts store and a rubber band would do just

fine. I'll try to bring some with me.

 

PLEASE RSVP to me via email by Sunday morning or via

phone by 6:30pm Sunday. You can just show up the

trailhead, too but I'd like to have a headcount and

I'd like to head up the peak at 7:15pm sharp.

 

I hope to see you all there!

 

Cheers,

Matthew
