ACCESSIBILITY: We will be walking through downtown Waco, mostly on city streets and sidewalks.  Be prepared for some grassy patches, curbs and broken sidewalks.

HYDRATION: Please bring your own water.

DOGS: Dogs welcome, but they MUST be on a leash, and you MUST scoop the poop! Dogs will not be allowed inside of buildings.

WEATHER/CANCELLATION PLAN: We plan to walk rain or shine, so if it looks like rain, bring an umbrella. Due to the high amount of grass along the route, if it has rained previously, we recommend wearing shoes to account for this.  In the event that there is a terrible storm or something happens and we have to cancel, we will send out a note to the email list.
