Most people like to go hiking on Saturdays, Sundays & holidays. But there are a few of us out there who have irregular work schedules and routinely have a weekday off.
For instance, there are a few guys who often have Fridays available, and we'll PM each other a day or two ahead and plan a day hike.
How about all of you? What weekdays do you routinely have free & can use at times for a day hike?

Re: Connecting weekday hikers
Usually I can plan a Monday, sometimes a Tuesday or Wednesday, if someone wants to PM me and meet me at Bashas' in Eagar. One of the closest really nice hikes from Eagar is South Fork, about 9 miles away. Can do creek hike, or a loop hike, or can hike S. Fork to Mexican Hay Lake for a nice out-and-back workout, about 12 miles.
Water Canyon's another one. Water Canyon gets no press--I put it up on here recently. TH is only about 4 miles from Bashas'. It's a creek hike, has a trail part-way, but most of it is not an official FS one. There's also Escudilla, Baldy, etc. I'm always looking to carpool, too, so if anyone wants to meet me at the Eagar Bashas' on a Monday, Tues, or Wed. shoot me a PM.

Re: Connecting weekday hikers
I have every other Friday off and can usually take off any Friday. This is in addition to weekends and a few holidays.
The match profiles have this info but I havnt found a way to search by that field. Maybe we could beg Joe to add that in the match area?

Re: Connecting weekday hikers
Any weekday is good for me - just need a day or two notice.

Re: Connecting weekday hikers
Same here, I am looking for a Friday Hiker. I have every other Friday off and like to hike while my wife works and the kids are in school.

Hopefully by your choice...or bad news from work? I hear a lot of people being told to figure out when they're going to take mandatory furloughs, or the layoffs will beginJamesLyding wrote:I should be able to do Friday hikes starting next week

Re: Connecting weekday hikers
Wednesday and Thursday seem to be my best days right now (that'll change in late August). I usually go early to avoid the monsoons. Anyone is welcome to PM me if planning a Flag area hike!
