Description

With the peak of the Leonid meteor showers and a forecast for clear skies, I'm planning to hike up to Rice Fields and camp. 3 mile hike up. Camp in Rice Fields. Hike down Saturday morning. I'm limiting the size for to vehicle, but if more people sign up who are willing to carpool I will expand it to 10 (Leave No Trace recommends limiting backcountry group sizes to 10).
