Blackrock Summit BYOO Sunrise Hike

OVERVIEW

Hey young people!
It’s time to get hip to oatmeal. Despite being 20 years old and having all my teeth, I have decided that oatmeal is definitively the best breakfast choice so this will be a BYOO (Bring Your Own Oats) trip. We will be hiking to Blackrock Summit, which is a ~1 mile beginner hike to a lovely pile of rocks, and watch the sunrise with our cups of cold oats. Please join me in this almost-religious experience because the best way to connect to the earth is through the stomach.
PSA: I will be preparing my oats by soaking them overnight in any liquid of my choosing (probably water), just in case you don’t know how to properly prepare overnight cold oats

ALSO I do not own a car so drivers are crucial for this trip! Drivers will get priority off the waitlist and get reimbursed for gas with a 50% tip. Drivers — please arrive at Echols with a full tank of gas.

Plan:
Leave Echols at 5:15 AM
Start hiking at 6:15 AM
Hike for ~30 minutes
Sunrise at 7:10 AM
Munch on them oats
Get back to UVA around 8:45 AM

What to bring:
Sturdy hiking boots
Water
Headlamp or flashlight
Blanket if you so choose
SNP pass, if you have it
Oats**
