Other stuff:
We will hold a planning meeting about one week before the trip to confirm attendance, review gear and conditions, and answer any final questions. I estimate the individual cost to be around $75 between gas and food, but of course that can vary. If you're able to drive in a carpooling effort, let me know. I'll be making carpooling plans as we get closer to the trip. In the meantime, please reach out with any questions and get hyped for an awesome trip!

Required actions before trip:

3. Attend a pre-trip virtual planning meeting about one week before trip start date.
