We meet each Wednesday at 9:30 AM and leave soon after. Do not be late! If you are meeting us at the hike site you will need to consult with me ahead of time as to the location and time. “Cost Plus” as a meeting place refers to the Gateway Plaza Shopping Center at 450 River Street in Santa Cruz, not “Costco”. Always check my message machine (477-5201 X1529) for daily updates. You can also contact me via e-mail: kaplanvb@cruzio.com.

*Our last hike is during finals week and is scheduled at our regular day and time. If you have a conflict with another final you will need to do a make-up hike before finals week.

We may encounter poison oak, ticks, wasps and mosquitoes on many of our hikes. Light-colored lightweight long pants and insect repellent are advisable. Always check for ticks and shower and wash clothes to avoid posion oak after each hike. Bring plenty of water and energy snacks and wear sunscreen. Good footwear is required.
