  1. Where is the closest exit on the bike trail to the event Sat. Oct. 22, 2016?

    • Hey Mark… the event takes place in the grassy area directly across the street from the Ranger Station… the best way to get over is to bike through the park.

  2. I have a friend who is house-bound but has followed P-22’s story since its inception. Will there be coverage of the event available online, either live or as a link afterwards?

    • I know there will be lots of coverage, both from the Friends, NWF and others which we’ll post after the event.
