Meet at 3:45 at the lower end of the hike, at the Italy Valley Road parking area just north of the Flint Creek crossing (42.626312, -77.281368).  Everyone will set off together on the trail from here and head across the valley and uphill. Naturalists may follow a shorter trail along the edge of the valley, or follow the rest of the group and turn around after 45 minutes, Climbers/Tourists will hike to the Outback Inn shelter for a total of about 3 miles. Hiking poles will be a good idea. Make sure you bring water to stay hydrated.

Social afterwards at the Middletown Tavern in Naples, 183 South Main Street.
