Hi! I am Holly Torres with CureSearch for Children's Cancer. We are doing an Ultimate Hike event on November 19, 2011. This hike will be the ultimate challenge - 28.3 miles in one day on the Lone Star Trail - all with the goal to raise funds for children's cancer research. We will also offer a 11 mile option.
What's Included in Ultimate Hike?
We have added an extra day to this annual trip because there are so many wonderful things to see and do in the DAVIS MTS. Plan your vacation around these dates or come when you can. McDonald Observatory, the Marva lights (by the way we did see the lights last August), hiking in the Nature Conservancy land, camping in Ft..Davis State Park or staying at Indian Lodge and lots of wonderful surprises you can count on if you join us on this remarkable adventure. But the best thing of all - it's August and cool in those beautiful mountains. Bring a jacket and a warm sleeping bag. You will love it!! Contact nancy mcvean - 817 596 5209 - nancymcvean@gmail.com
