I haven't been outdoors in forever. We should totally get some fresh air this weekend.

Let's meet at the trailhead at 9 AM. I'll drive — my car can fit four people.

Make sure to bring water and sunscreen. Oh, and wear proper shoes — no sandals!
Remind to bring essentials and wear shoes.
Confirm and Alternatives
Awesome, it's a plan! If it rains, we can just do brunch instead. Sound good?

Oh shoot, something came up. Can we raincheck? Maybe next weekend?
