There are picnic tables and outhouses along the trails.
We will leave on the hike around 10:15 AM if you wish to meet us at the Chickakoo parking lot and not participate in the carpool.

Passengers will pay the coordinator, and he/she will distribute the money to the carpool drivers. SO PLEASE BRING CASH!!! Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $23.20 (calculated at total Km * $0.29, effective Wednesday, April 24, 2024). This is based on $0.09/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divided by 9. This cost will be multiplied by the number of carpooled cars, and divided by the number of carpool participants.
