Camino de Asheville Section 2 – Moderate Climb – 6.49 miles.
Nov 18 @ 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Harris Teeter

Please join me for an evening hike in the hills around Asheville in the Grove Park – Sunset neighborhood.

We will meet at the Harris Teeter Parking Lot in the northwest corner.

PACE: This hike is at a 2.5 to 3.0 pace, but mostly toward 3.0 mph even going up hill. Please be aware of your abilities and level of physical fitness. We will stop and wait for people to catch up in certain spots, but we cannot wait a long time.

REQUIRED: A headlamp or flashlight.

I plan on bringing a weighted backpack (if any one knows what Rucking is, google it) and carry 40 lbs to make things more challenging. Feel free to do the same.

I will be paying attention to no-shows. A no-show with no notice prior to the hike or without changing your RSVP will make sure you end up on a wait list for my future hikes and backpacks if I decide to put a limit on the group size.

Waitlisters: Please keep an eye on your RSVP status even on the day of. It may change to “going” within an hour of the hike with the way people drop in and out.

Well behaved and trained dogs are welcome on this hike.

If you are bringing a +1, please chose the +1 option when you sign up or edit your RSVP to show that. I like to have an accurate headcount going into a hike. Additionally, please make sure your +1 is capable of doing the above mileage and pace.

If anyone is interested we can decide on a place to get some beer after the hike. Beer is important! Priorities!

Full Moon Hike – Black Balsam – Ivester Gap Loop ~5 miles
Nov 18 @ 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm
Sam Knob Trailhead Black Balsam Knob Rd · Canton, NC

The Full Moon is upon us!
Some call it Beaver Moon and this moon maybe be called the Micro-Beaver Moon on the account it is at the farthest way.
In opposition to the Super Moon…

Lets get out for an adventurous and somewhat strenuous night!
Hike this double-summit, ultra-scenic five mile loop on the Art Loeb and Ivestor Gap trails, summiting Black Balsam Knob and Tennent Mountain. It’s a sun-drenched, blueberry and blackberry-filled adventure over two bald mountains to some incredible view

We will be hiking at night with a short stop to enjoy the moon and stars at Ivester Gap.

What to Bring:
Flashlights/Headlamp
Snacks
Water
Hiking Poles
Hat/Gloves/Warm Cloths

Wells Funeral Home is presenting a starlight luminary display around the grounds of Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Candler, NC on Monday, December 6 from 5:30-8:00 p.m. (Inclement weather make-up date is Wednesday, December 8). This drive-through event will feature approximately 2,000 luminaries as well as seasonal music.

The luminary experience is free with donations accepted to support DayStay Adult Day Services. Based in Candler, DayStay is a non-profit adult day care providing daytime, weekday care for elderly and impaired adults.

DayStay fosters socialization to support the dignity and self-esteem of each participant and provides an affordable alternative to institutionalism. Through respite care and resource information, the program seeks to support family caregivers in their efforts to provide care to the aging or impaired adult in the home for as long as possible. Center participants include adults who experience a lack of socialization, depression, Alzheimer’s, dementia, are at risk of falling, or who need limited assistance with daily personal care.

DayStay participants take part in diverse programs including arts and crafts, music, chair exercise, games, trivia, gardening, and more. Activities are adapted to meet the individual needs of each participant. All activities are conducted in such a manner that each participant can succeed without shame or risk of failure.

DayStay is open Monday-Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. DayStay’s daily rate is intentionally kept low so that families can take advantage of this cost-effective service. Financial assistance is provided through grants and scholarships. For more information on DayStay Adult Day Services, visit www.daystayasheville.com or call (828) 665-1575.

Forest Lawn Memorial Park is located at 1 Chapel of Faith Drive, Candler. Additional event information can be found on the Wells Funeral Home website, www.wellsfuneralhome.com.
