Don't forget... Practice Hike on Saturday, April 3rd at 8am... Lost Dog Trailhead.

Just for fun...
What 3 things would you want to have in your pack if you got lost in the desert in the heat of the summer???
1. cosmetic mirror to signal for help
2. long sleeve t-shirt to keep cool
3. water

Thanks to the members of M2M Team Petty who came out to today's "practice hike". John (the tall guy in the back) was the world's best "caboose" keeping tabs on everyone to make sure no one fell behind. Mason on the left was our "engine" most of the hike, keeping us at a pretty quick pace. And Julie O. is looking good in the new MMCC "LOVE" t-shirt. Great day on the mountain!!!
