Halloween Walk, Forest Park to Haunted Rucker Mansion -Everett

Welcome to our off season. Bad weather happens, but i try not to let it stop us. Dangerous conditions, however, will cause me to cancel completely or change what we do. Please check in the morning of the event to see what is happening. Arm yourself for changeable weather. Please keep your RSVP up to date - even if you are on the waiting list.

Please remember to be kind and respectful to all members of this group as well as other people and dogs you meet along the way. Do not allow your dog go up to other dogs or people without permission from those people and dog owners. Be mindful of your dog’s whereabouts and manage accordingly for the safety and comfort of all.

This week we will hike some trails in Forest Park and then stroll through some neighboring streets to Rucker Mansion (we don't actually walk through the mansion as it is occupied). There are views and mansions along the way. The neighborhood usually decorates for Halloween. This is an urban hike, plan on 4-6 miles with the possibility of lunch afterwards.

Costumes optional.

"Everett - Rucker mansion - The Rucker mansion is haunted by Mrs. Rucker, who committed suicide by jumping from the bedroom window on the top floor. Sometimes she can be heard playing the grand piano when no one is in the room. "
