MEET in the parking lot in front (just east) of the Union Building, where the shuttles come and go. There's no charge for parking in that visitors' lot on weekends..
Breaks: we’ll stop at a convenience store. Let me know of special needs.
Weather: Wear sensible clothes. It could be beautiful… or miserable.

Course evaluations for past years have said that this field trip pulls concepts of hydrology together … even if the weather is miserable! You may want to bring a camera and/or binoculars.
