New July 4th--Let's get wet hike!

Friends,

I just discovered the stair-step falls in Bouquet Canyon, so I'm leading a hike there on Monday July 4th. It'll be hot, so it'll be a nice way to cool off.
Here's the info:
http://www.meetup.com/hiking-196/events/23987791/

Also, please let me know whether the automatic "Google--Feedburner" email system that sends out my weekly calendar of hikes to my subscribers is working. I've been changing settings to make it work properly.

Please reply to me at rexfrankel@yahoo.com if you got this email.
Thanks, Rex Frankel
