We will have a restroom stop before we board the bus to Fort Totten.

Along the walk there will be four restroom stops in addition to the one before we get on the bus to Fort Totten.

One will be at Fort Totten. The second will be at the same place when we leave Fort Totten, about 30 minutes later. Another will be at the Alley Pond Environmental Center, and the last restroom stop will be just before the end of the walk.
