The Group will meet at the Rangers Station on the West Side of Griffith Park. Be aware: there will be cool weather heading to destination UNKNOWN and a little cooler returning back to the Ranger Station. Get into the station early because I AM LEAVING AT four thirty PM sharp maybe one or two minutes later. That's all the time I'm waiting ...
