For this event, attendees will hike up to Jayne's Hill and write poetry (or do other creative work) with poet Christina M. Rau.

"We'll meet at the park below Jayne's Hill and hike to the top. We'll write at the top (folks can also draw, doodle, or not create anything) and then hike down. Sharing what we wrote is optional. Bringing a bagged lunch to eat at the park also optional," says Rau. Children under 8 free.
