I think the route through the park should work well for Saturday. We can start at the trailhead by the old bridge and follow the loop around the lake. It usually takes about two hours at a moderate pace. I checked the weather and it looks clear with mild temps. Let me know if you prefer a shorter path. We could also bring a light pack with some snacks and water. I will bring the trail map I picked up last week.

I have been looking into that new book club format you asked about. We could meet every other week and rotate who picks the title. It keeps things varied and nobody feels overwhelmed. I think we can try it for a couple of months and see how the group responds. I will set up a shared document for suggestions so everyone can add their ideas before we vote. Let me know your thoughts on the schedule.
