Hey Inskiers,

Looks like are friends to the south have a fun event planned on Saturday June 14th & we are welcome to join in. It would be great to get a carpool or two going as parking is limited. Please respond to my email: terrilynnezorn@yahoo.com by Friday evening if you are interested. See below for further details.

Hey 'Drifters, it's time someone told you to 'go take a hike'....again! Mark
> your day planner for this Sat. June 14th.

> This month will be a 5 mile loop at the Portola Redwoods State Park off of
> Alpine WEST Road. We are going to get a bit earlier start this time at 9:00am.
> There is a parking fee of $6 so some of you may want to get together for a
> carpool.

> Getting there:
> From Interstate 280 in San Mateo County, exit #25 Woodside Road/CA 84. Drive
> west about 6 miles to the junction with CA 35 (Skyline Boulevard). Turn left and
> drive south about 7 miles to the junction with Alpine Road. Turn right and drive
> west about 3 tortuous and winding miles on this narrow road (be especially
> careful for bicycle and motorcycle traffic on weekends). Turn left onto Portola
> State Park Road, and drive on the tiny and unpredictable road the remaining 3
> miles to the entrance kiosk. Continue another 0.4 mile to the parking areas near
> the ranger station. If possible park in the Madrone lot (to the left just before
> the ranger station), or in the spots past the ranger station and across the
> bridge, on the right side of the road. (NOTE: do not be confused or tempted by
> the Alpine Road exit on 280. That section of Alpine Road deadends east of
> Skyline Boulevard.)
