Safety Instructions:
- Face masks will be required for everyone and should cover both nose and mouth.  Anyone without a mask cannot participate in the trip.
- Attendees should be spaced 6 feet apart from each other.
- Unfortunately, we will not be able to lend binoculars nor share scopes.
- No car pooling is allowed unless you live in the same household.
- If you are feeling ill and have any symptoms of COVID or have been exposed to anyone who has, we ask you to please not attend.
- The first time anyone deviates from the protocol (too close, no face covering, face covering not properly worn, and so on), I will make a request for that individual to get back into compliance. If that individual can't or won't comply, or upon a second deviation from the protocol, I will ask the individual to leave the walk. If the individual will not leave, then I will end the walk. These rules are for community safety, our safety, and for the comfort and peace of mind of those participating.
