SUMMARY:VSDC Breakfast & Hike: Great Sage / Middle Patuxent Trails\, Moderate 4.9 Mi
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a delicious breakfast at Great Sage followed by a 2 hour moderately difficult hike in the Middle Patuxent Environmental Area. We’ll follow the 4.9 mile Wildlife Loop and South Wind Trail Loop trails\, enjoying beautiful scenery and some wildlife sightings\, if we’re lucky. \nThis hike is rated as moderate based on natural terrain and gently rolling hills (no more than 400 ft of elevation gain). We’ll be sharing the trail with other hikers\, runners and bicyclists and ask that folks walk two abreast\, allowing others to pass so that we can “share the road”. \nTrail Map: https://www.howardcountymd.gov/sites/default/files/2021-03/Middle%20Patuxent%20Environmental%20Area%20Map.pdf \nWe’ll meet at 9 am at **[Great Sage](https://greatsage.com/)**\, 5809 Clarksville Square Dr\, Clarksville\, MD 21029\, (443) 535-9400. If you want to join us for just the hike\, we will be starting out at approximately 11 am from **[the parking lot off Trotter Road](https://maps.app.goo.gl/zB3tx8WjAWEBPgBv5)**. Carpooling is a great way to meet people and help the environment! \nDogs are welcome at the Middle Patuxent Environmental area. Please keep your dog leashed at all times. \nBathroom Facilities/Water: Restroom facilities are available at the Trotter Road entrance to the trails. Please carry plenty of water! \nWeather: Be prepared! We will hike rain or shine\, but if conditions pose a danger\, we’ll cancel the hike and post a notice in the “comments” section. We suggest that hikers wear comfortable footwear and suitable clothing made from quick-dry\, synthetic fabrics\, as cotton can lead to uncomfortable blisters and life-threatening hypothermia in case of inclement weather. \n*Please read The 10 Essentials of Hiking: https://americanhiking.org/resources/10essentials/ * \nPets: When hikes are organized in dog-friendly areas\, hikers are invited to bring their pet(s). However\, dogs are the sole responsibility of the owner(s) who brought them; should be up-to-date on their vaccinations & in possession of the relevant tags; and should be under the control of their owner(s) at all times. Dogs that demonstrate consistently aggressive or otherwise out-of-control behavior will be banned from future hikes. Owners should come prepared to dispose of their dogs’ waste in appropriate receptacles. \nAlcohol/Smoking/Intoxicants: Use of intoxicants such as alcohol\, cigarettes and/or illegal substances is banned during the hikes. \n*** \n**Update Your RSVP** \nOut of respect for others interested in attending this limited-space event\, please update your RSVP promptly as your schedule changes. \n**VSDC: More Than A Meetup** \nWe are so glad to have you as part of The Veg Society of DC Vegan Meetup group\, and we enjoy seeing you at our events. Did you know that VSDC is a nonprofit organization with membership benefits? \nWith VSDC membership\, you will save money at area restaurants and businesses\, attend VSDC member-only events\, and\, most importantly\, support us as a clear and consistent voice for improving the lives of all beings through community building and education centered on the benefits of a vegan diet and lifestyle. \nThe membership fee is minimal\, but the impact is significant! Become a member of VSDC. \n**Liability Waiver and Code of Conduct** \nWhen you sign up to join\, you automatically acknowledge VSDC’s [Liability Waiver](https://vsdc.org/activity-waiver/) and commit to follow the code of conduct found at [Policies – VSDC – Veg Society of DC](https://vsdc.org/policies/) \n**VSDC.
