What to bring:

• Sturdy hiking shoes
• Long pants
• Personal pack with food, water, and safety gear
• Sunscreen
• Water and lunch
• Notepad with pen/pencil
• Long sleeve shirt (you’ll regret short sleeves!)
• Bug Spray. Wear a long sleeve shirt and bring bug spray!! 
• Binoculars on a chest strap (recommended)
• OnX with a map downloaded on your phone or other GPS (recommended)

• Transportation info:

Most any car with a hatchback or bigger will be fine. Small cars with trunks may struggle on gravel, and there is a very short section where they might bottom out on the potholes. My Toyota Rav4 handles the roads just fine.

You will need the physical stamina to hike off trail, crossing logs, ducking brush, and handle a 200 foot elevation gain.

Field day is a fluid event influenced by snow pack, weather, and sudden change. Additional details and contact info will be shared as the event draws closer.
