Tomorrow's forecast calls for partly cloudy to mostly sunny skies, with temperatures going from the high 70s in the morning to the high 80s in the afternoon.
Bring plenty of water. We don't have all that far to go so we'll keep the pace reasonable.
I will bring waiver forms in case you don't have one. Please bring $15 in cash or make a check out to Jane Anderson. Please come a few minutes early for waiver and fee processing.
I will send a Go/NoGo message in the morning.
Hope to see you there!
