Sunday Newark Delaware Hike!

This hike will be a loop around Newark, DE! A bit further south than where we usually go, but we've had some good experiences with the Mason Dixon Trail and sorrounding system. I think this will be the best one yet!!
We will be meeting at 9 am at the Newark Shopping Center, 311 Newark Shopping Ctr, Newark, DE. There is a Goodwill Store there. Look for that, and park close by as to be within sight but not to take up the parking for patrons there. Maybe we'll check it out too if it's open. Once we're all together, a loop hike will commence utilizing both the Mason Dixon Trail, the Pomeroy Rail Trail, known locally as the "Pumpsie Doodle", and a couple other local trails forming a loop.
The full hike, as usual will be just about fifteen miles.

The theme for this hike will be ridicules leisure suits. We can always find those sorts of things at thrift stores, so maybe we'll find more at the beginning!
The Pomeroy Rail Trail leads us from the business district of Newark to more area trails. If it's warm enough to swim, there may be opportunities. We will check the temperature leading up to this which will dictate the direction of the loop hike (swimming would be near to the end).
The Pomeroy Trail connects with another trail near to the active rail line. Our connection between this and the Mason Dixon Trail at Iron Hill Park will be college campus sorts of stuff. Newark is actually a very pedestrian friendly city.
The Mason Dixon Trail makes it's way from White Clay Creek south on a very diverse route through both woods and developed parks, and follows a good stretch of the Christina River. It looks quite lovely.
