Itinerary:

We will meet in the parking lot at Emily Murphy Park (NW corner nearest the Groat Road bridge) at 6:15pm for registration, leaving at 6:25.

We will be doing a short hike this evening - basically head west to Hawlerak Park, have a quick break by the Buena Vista Footbridge, and then turn back and return to the meeting place.
There are a couple of parallel trails in this area, so we will try to switch it around for some variety!
Depending upon how quickly we finish, we could do a short section to the east of Emily Murphy Park as well.

To recognize me at the meeting place, I will be driving a grey Hyundai wagon and wearing or carrying a yellow EOC baseball cap.
Dogs are very welcome on this event - please be aware of City of Edmonton bylaws though.
