Mt Mitake Update!!

Hello barefoot hiking team!

Just a reminder that the weather is quite hot and is apparently predicted to be 34° and possibly rainy on Sunday for our Mt Mitake hiking event.

Therefore please bring lots of water and maybe a big hat and whatever you need to protect yourself from the sun and rain.

Speaking of high temperatures, I (Barefoot Rob) have had a fever and sore joints for the past 30 hours. For the safety of the community, I will not attend the hike. I’m sorry I cannot join you guys!

Elena will be leading the event, and Andy will be collecting money and signing your point cards.

If for any reason you plan not to attend, please update your RSVP on Meetup: https://meetu.ps/e/Lkgw3/TWnP/i

Blessings Barefoot Rob
