Crew #15
This is the required Meet & Greet hike for the Sep. 15-18, 2022 Powwow Trail fall clearing crew #15, led by Mark Jurmu and Gretchen Gosnell. If you are not part of this clearing crew you are welcome. If you are curious about BWAC come and ask some questions.

Location
Maplewood Nature Center trails.
The hike will last 30-45 minutes, and will be 1/2 wide gravel trail, and 1/2 single track through the woods trails.
After the hike we will cover gear check lists and trip logistics for about an hour. We'll check your pack for comfort and essential gear in preparation for our Sep 15th - 18th adventure on the Powwow trail.

WHAT TO BRING
Bring your full backpack (food optional), 1 liter of water, and at least two questions about what to bring or not bring on trail. We will have just over a week left to tweak our packs after this hike but plan to have most of what you are bringing with you on trail. We will for sure be checking sleep system, tent, rain gear (remember rain? it could happen), 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.

Fine print: No pets. Kids at your discretion. The hike is about 1 mile and we will all stay together for the entire hike.
