Troop 216 Parents / Scouts,

Our next Troop hike is this *Saturday (6/8) **at 2:00 pm*. We will meet at
the SIUE Gardens and hike the GORC mountain biking trails or asphalt bike
trails as conditions allow.

*We are starting later because REI is having a garage sale that morning so
if you are looking for gear this is an excellent opportunity to get good
used gear at huge discounts (need to be a member – you can join
onsite). www.rei.com/events/86150/members-only-garage-sale/231793
