We suggest masks and open windows while carpooling. Only you know your own health status so judge accordingly if an event may endanger your health or the health of others. Please bring an extra pair of shoes to avoid bringing your muddy shoes into the driver's car at the end of the hike.
Incessant prattlers will be assumed to be having an affair. Obstreperous raucous yawping is discouraged.
THIS IS A DOG-PARTICIPANT HIKE. This event is NOT for those who are uncomfortable with the antics of fun-loving dogs. Dogs (and Masters) required to be ‘on-leash' in DuPont. Small (lap)dogs may carpool. Large dogs will drive themselves.
Description;
We will spend up to 2 hrs at the shoals. Skip will, once again, slide into the inescapable pool. I’ll bring a rope.
Come prepared to meditate, practice your Tai-Chi, 森林浴, read a book, prepare a meal, play a flute, play in the water.
