Beach Walk - San Francisco

HIKE STATS:
Start Time: 10 AM
Distance: variable ~ hike for time
Estimated Hike Time: 3+ hours
Difficulty: MODERATE (for endurance, but should be bearable with friends)
Event Organizer: Maura

The route is still being determined but we are most likely going to be meeting at Ocean Beach in San Francisco. There will probably be alternative routes for folks who want to hike and a less organized one for those who want to meander. For now, why don't we meet at the Windmill (since it's easy) and decide routes from there. Anyone who'd like to join us for breakfast beforehand is welcome. If Mahesh has anything to say about it, a stalwart group will be going out afterwards as well!

* The SF weather patterns are changeable. Be sure to bring an extra layer or two.
* Remember to bring snacks and water.
* Sunday is Mother's Day. Remember to call your mother (if you can). Mother's Day cards will probably be on sale today for anyone who needs one.
* No pets, please.

This hike is open to all members without restriction. This does not mean it is an easy hike: it means that no special permissions are required from the event organizer (Maura) in order to join. This is a moderate hike.

Please be aware that we expect you to take responsibility for your safety while we are out on the trails. This means arriving prepared, remaining aware and participating with the other really wonderful folks who are part of the group on hike day. We understand that your "Yes" RSVP to this event means you accept this.

If the hike is full, please RSVP "No" and add a comment asking to be added to the wait list. Our folks are really, really good about keeping their RSVP status current and the wait list works REALLY well. Please remember that it is NOT OKAY to come to this hike unless you have a "Yes" RSVP for yourself and any guests you'd like to bring.

CARPOOLS:
Meetup does not organize carpools; however we are a friendly group with lots of folks who are interested in sharing rides. If you'd like to offer a ride, please leave a comment in your RSVP letting folks know where you're coming from and how many spaces there are. If you'd like to ride as a passenger, it is YOUR JOB to check the website RSVP list and contact any of the nice people offering a ride to see if they still have a space for you. If you're a passenger and your plans change, please be sure to let the driver know.
