DIFFICULTY: D3.5 (because of the hills)

I came across these 2 great little connected conservation areas in Newmarket, Jokers Hill Conservation Area and Thornton Bales Conservation Area.
They are very hilly with a lot of interesting twists and turns.
The idea is to meander, then eventually, after about 3 hours try to find our cars.
We will stop for a snack break along the way on our lunch log, if we can find it.

MAX hikers: about 15 (+ or -)
I set the Maximum Group Size to 4, because I can take 3 passengers, but this event can accommodate about 15 hikers.
Passengers will be added as additional drivers become available.

Members on the waiting list who are willing to drive may get first priority.
Alternatively, you can drive and meet us at the hike starting location, however parking is limited at the trailhead.

DRIVERS, WHEN YOU SIGN UP, PLEASE ANSWER THE CARPOOL QUESTION REGARDING THE # OF PASSENGERS YOU CAN TAKE IN YOUR CAR
