Lee Helzer will lead "Rendezvous Ridge Retry" with a duration of 3 hours somewwhere in JBER.

Meet at 6:30 pm in the pull out just before the parking lot at the end of Arctic Valley Road. We will head up to Rendezvous Peak then take the ridge back to exceptional berry picking.  After our mouths are blue and bellies full we’ll descend towards Ship Creek and catch a trail maintained by the local moose and bear population.

Note: The road may be closed for military training.  If closed, the backup option will be XXX.  (I need to figure out a backup)
