THURSDAY RUN
Run Location: South Table Mountain. Meet at the NREL lot. There are
three times/groups to choose from:
Mary's group - 3:30pm
Scott's group - 5:30pm
Main group - 6:00pm

Run Notes: South Table is one of our regular winter run locations.
This is the last Thursday evening that you'll be able to see it in the light.
The route can be confusing. There are lots of small trails,
junctions, no trail signs, and few landmarks. Please bring a map. Pay
attention to the trail and junctions on the way out, so that they'll
look familiar on the way back.

Everyone should just run the main out-and-back route (blue line),
unless you start with one of the early groups. Not everyone will be
able to make it to the Golden Stairs (12). Please bring a watch and
plan turn-around to finish before dark.
Sunset 6:27pm
End Civil Twilight 6:54pm

Upcoming Thursday schedule (subject to change):
10/18; Bear Creek Lake Park. 6:17/6:44
10/25: Green Mtn. 6:07/6:35. FM 10:52pm; moonrise at 5:36pm.
