Saturday, November 9, 2013, 7:00am: Estate Caledonia Hike

General info for all hikes and walks: Hikes and walks are $5 for members, and $10 for non-members (become a member). Unless otherwise noted, the pace for hikes is moderate, lasting 3-5 hours, covering 3-5 miles, the terrain is hilly, footing is sometimes uneven, and we follow trails and possibly paved or dirt roads . Walks are easier and shorter than hikes, and usually follow paved or dirt roads, no trails. The guide may periodically stop and talk along the way. Bring sturdy, comfortable walking or hiking shoes, water, snack, bug spray, rain poncho, and camera. Shorts or long pants are OK. For day hikes, bring a hat and sun block. For night hikes, bring a small flashlight. There are usually about 20 people. We depart about 30 minutes after the posted start time. For some hikes, we will meet at the indicated location, then drive a short distance to the hike location.

Specific info for this hike: We will be walking in a stream bed and scrambling over boulders, up to a waterfall. Total distance is about 2 miles, taking about 3 hours. Some areas will be slippery. This is a moderate to difficult hike. Bring water shoes, or shoes that you don't mind getting wet. Plan to walk in water up to your knees or higher, depending on the amount of recent rain. Short or long pants are OK. A walking stick may help. Henry is our guide.

Meet at 7am in front of the Caledonia crusher/quarry.

Directions:
- From Frederiksted, go north on Route 63 for about 3.5 miles to the end. Go straight at any intersections.
