It's an approximately 2.5-hour drive, so let's save gas and enjoy the ride together!

🕗 Meet: 8 AM
🚙 Depart: 8:10 AM sharp

🚗 Carpools arranged by A, B, or C RSVP response to match return times.

🌨️ WEATHER PLAN
November weather is unpredictable! I'll make a final decision by November 11 so everyone has time to request permit refunds.
