SCHEDULE:

Thursday, October 2, 9:00-12:00. Karin Toppel’s house/Mueller State Park. 87 Joshua Rd., Divide. Karin Toppel lives 10 minutes from Mueller State Park. She has offered for us to meet at her house at 9:00 and then carpool up to the Mueller SP. And if you want to carpool from the Springs to her house, that would be good too. She has offered for us to leave lunches in her refrigerator and have lunch together afterwards. It will be cold/cool. Bring a jacket. There is a fee for the state park. Carpooling will help with that. Some may have paid for the yearly pass that shows up on your car registration. Directions to Karin’s house: Our subdivision is called Meadow Park. Turn right at the Phillips 66 gas station at the light (and white fence). Joshua Road is up the road about a hundred feet on the left side. It’s a dirt road.
