A porti on of the trail is single file only and you'll be walking on some loose roc ks/gravel/sand. If you have significant knee problems\, this might not be a good hike for you. There's no shade on this hike so it's advisable to b ring a hat and sunscreen.\n\nThis hike is open to all members without restr iction. This does not mean it is an easy hike: it means that no special per missions are required from the event organizer (Maura) in order to join. Th is is a moderate hike. Please read the description to be sure that it is th e right level for you.\n\nPlease be aware that we expect you to take respon sibility for your safety while we are out on the trails. This means arrivin g prepared\, remaining aware and participating with the other really wonder ful folks who are part of the group on hike day. We understand that your "Y es" RSVP to this event means you accept this.\n\nIf the hike is full\, plea se RSVP "No" and add a comment asking to be added to the wait list. Our fol ks are really\, really good about keeping their RSVP status current and the wait list works REALLY well.

We are really looking forward to seeing YOU there.\n\nCARPOOLS:\nFe wer cars at the trailhead is always happiness. Meetup does not organize car pools\; however we are a friendly group with lots of folks who are interest ed 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 spac es there are. If you'd like to ride as a passenger\, it is YOUR JOB to chec k 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 p lans change\, please be sure to let the driver know.\n\nDIRECTIONS:\nFrom n orthbound US 101 in San Francisco County\, cross the Golden Gate Bridge and exit at Alexander (the first exit past the view point turnoff). After abou t 0.3 mile\, turn left onto Bunker Road. There is a one-way tunnel which cu ts under 101\, and you may need to wait up to 5 minutes for your turn to tr avel through it (this is a great opportunity to put on sunscreen). From the other side of the tunnel\, drive about 3 miles on Bunker Drive to the trai lhead at the end of the road.\n\nFrom southbound US 101 in Marin County\, e xit Sausalito (the last exit before the bridge). Drive uphill on Conzelman Road\, then turn right onto McCullough Road. Descend on McCullough to a jun ction with Bunker Road\, and turn left. Drive west on Bunker to the trailhe ad at the end of the road.\n\nTRAILHEAD DETAILS:\nPlenty of parking in lots and on the side of the road. No entrance or parking fees. Wheelchair-acces sible restrooms at edge of parking lot. There are handicapped-designated pa rking spots\, but the trails are not wheelchair accessible. No maps availab le at trailhead. If you want to pick up a map before you start hiking\, sto p at the Visitor Center on the way to the trailhead: from the Headlands sid e of the tunnel on Bunker Drive\, drive about 2 miles and bear left onto Fi eld (just before you get to the lagoon). Make the first right into the Visi tor Center parking lot.

All recommendations are considered\; however CHEAP\, plentiful food is goodness. There is no p re-planning involved so spots that can roll with a big group arriving are u sually a good fit. We always like to make sure everyone can have something to eat\, so variety is also nice.\n\n** Today's Winner **\nHow about Tracey 's recommendation?\n\nSausalito\, CA 94965 - USA\n\nSunday\, June 1 at 10: 00 AM\n\nPhoto: http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/5/d/1/2/event_ 4703826.jpeg\n\nAttending: 70\n\nDetails: http://hiking.meetup.com/237/cale ndar/7742097/ LAST-MODIFIED:20080603T170932Z UID:event_7742097@meetup.com CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20080415T053645Z DTSTAMP:20080707T120232Z DTSTART:20080601T170000Z DTEND:20080601T190000Z GEO:37.41;-122.08 LOCATION:Marin Headlands - Fort Cronkhite - Mitchell Rd @37.832171\, -122.5 38970 - Sausalito\, CA 94965 - USA URL:http://hiking.meetup.com/237/calendar/7742097/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
