ACCESSIBILITY: We will be walking mostly on streets and sidewalks, but you should be prepared to negotiate curbs and grassy patches.

DOGS: Dogs are welcome, but they MUST be on a leash, and you MUST come prepared to scoop the poop! Also, dogs may not be allowed inside buildings.

WEATHER/CANCELLATION PLAN: We plan to walk rain or shine, so if it looks like rain, bring an umbrella. Due to the high amount of grass along the route, if it has rained previously, we recommend wearing shoes to account for this.  In the event that there is a terrible storm or something happens and we have to cancel, we will send out a note to the email list.
