The Hike: From the parking lot we go south on Eldridge Pkwy and meet up with the Brays Bayou. We go east on the south side of the Bayou all the way to Beechnut Dr. At that point we turn back and follow the Bayou back on the north side to our parking lot. For the general planned route map CLICK HERE (http://files.meetup.com/1731871/H.A.T.s_2016_%2332_Hike_Maps_Brays%20Bayou.pdf). Follow the blue arrows out first and then followed the red for the return.
Gathering Place: Park at the parking lot for Bishop Fiorenza Phase II, near the corner of Westpark Dr and Eldridge Pkwy S. If the lot is full for some reason then park on the street. Hikers should be obvious in the lot somewhere.
Optional After Hike Event : Fu Fu Cafe or Mamak Malaysian Restaurant in China Town.
