Guidelines |
Field trips are not intended to be strenuous hikes, however they will be on the
woodland paths in the area. Hikes may last several hours, but the pace is
generally leisurely.
Paths may be slippery with wet leaves or clay. Good walking shoes should be
worn, and a walking stick is useful, not only for the trails, but as a pointer.
Hikers are assumed to take responsibility for their own comfort and safety.
Field trips will normally be held, unless there is severe weather, or the
trails are unsafe. Please dress for the weather.
The Chapter has adopted a policy for reimbursement to drivers on field trips.
Passengers will pay drivers at the rate of $.05/mile rounded off to the nearest
dollar, from the meeting place and return.
In summer we go to the mountains. Please remember to carry the ten essentials:
1. Map.
2. Compass.
3. Light with spare
bulb, batteries.
4. Extra food.
5. Extra clothing.
6. Sunscreen and
sunglasses.
7. First aid
supplies.
8. Pocket knife.
9. Matches in
waterproof
container.
10. Fire starter.
If you want additional information on a particular walk, please check with
Harold Mitchell, 293-0405. |
