Carpools - I do not arrange carpools. Carpooling is the sole decision of the driver due to COVID-19. No one will be forced to carpool due to COVID-19. If you do carpool, I would suggest wearing masks to keep each other safe. Rides can be arranged via private personal message or comments . Suggested Gas Fee contribution: $20.00 per person.

WAIVER: You must agree to our online club waiver before you are allowed to go on this trip.
Please do not fill out the online waiver until you are on the going list. Filling out the waiver if you are on the waitlist will not give you a spot on the going list.
