If at
all possible, we recommend carpooling for the morning

Lake Boat Launch area. Try to be there at least by

sure number is visible on FRONT of shirt,
relax and maybe do the porta-potti thing!!! |

SHARP. Seed yourselves according

Seeing Eye Dogs) are prohibited and pacing is not allowed. Failure

traffic at
all times. Also use caution when reaching approximately
3 km as corner takes a sharp bend and shoulder
