Crew #7 Rock of Ages Bound
This is the required Meet & Greet hike for the May 11-15, 2022 Powwow Trail spring clearing crew #7, led by Susan Pollock and Chris Anderson.

If you aren't on the crew but would like join us for our meeting, gear talk, and a short hike, we have space for three additional people.

LOCATION
We will meet at Wabun Picnic Shelter F, Wabun Picnic Area, just east of Minnehaha Regional Park in Minneapolis. See map below. Follow signage to the MN Veterans Home. Picnic shelter F will be on your left before you reach the Veterans Home. Parking is free and right in front of the shelter. Look for the backpacks.

We will show-and-tell and check essential gear for about an hour in preparation for our May 11-15 paddle and backpack adventure on the Powwow trail.

After the gear party we will head out for a short hike along Minnehaha Creek.

WHAT TO BRING
Bring your full backpack (food optional), 1 liter of water, and questions about what to bring or not bring on trail. We have four weeks left after this meeting to tweak our packs, but plan to have most of what you are bringing with you on trail. We will for sure be looking at sleep system, tent, rain gear, and backpack. We'll talk about layers, food, cook kits, and other essentials.

WHAT ELSE
It's a Meet & Greet! We will meet each other, go over our trip plan, and hash out carpools and departure details.

Thank you for volunteering. We are excited to be getting out on trail with you.

We will meet for about one hour and hike with our packs for about 45 minutes.
