Bring water, a hat, sunscreen, long pants, sturdy shoes, and binoculars.\nDIFFICULTY: Moderate hiking over uneven terrain. Be prepared for a long hike (some off trail) and occasionally steep slopes.\n\nWHAT TO BRING:\nBring water, a hat, sunscreen, long pants, sturdy shoes, and binoculars.\nFIELD TRIP LEADER:\nFor questions and to RSVP, contact Rich Henderson (tpe.rhenderson@tds.net ( mailto:tpe.rhenderson@tds.net )) (h) 608-845-7065. If you plan to attend, please let the trip leader know at least 12 hours in advance, in case of last-minute changes in the schedule or cancelation due to severe weather. \nDIRECTIONS:\nMeet along Reilly Road, off of Co F, south of Blue Mounds. From the intersection of US Hwy 18-151 and County F (south of Blue Mounds in western Dane County), take F approximately 5 miles south. Turn right onto Reilly Road, and proceed 0.17 miles. Parking is along the mowed road right-of-way.  (Note: A half mile down F from 18-151, pay close attention to the road signs, for F turns to the right & the straight-ahead road becomes County Z. Stay on F.) \n
