    I don't want anyone to be confused because this description has us meeting up at the park in two different spots being (the first parking area past the camp office and the Orton picnic area) two separate locations. So lets just meet just after you pass the park office. If space is limited we can go to the bigger lot further back. Make sure you bundle up sounds like were going to cool off a bit :)

Who attended?

    • “ The park, as always was amazing! ”
    • “ I showed up at exactly 10am at the Fields Ertel Park 'n Ride, so did Ted and a friend of his. No one was there! We waited for about 25 minutes, figured out we missed the group heading north. I left at 10:25, Ted was gonna wait for Anita to show up. We didn't directions with us to John Bryan so I just left and will try and make the next meeting, maybe get to the park n ride a few minutes earlier next time. You'd think someone would be at the park n ride for at least a few minutes after 10a to catch everybody! ”
