We will meet by the restrooms in the lower parking lot ready to walk at 9 AM.
The terrain is pavement, trails and sand.
There are 188 stairs to begin with and one long hill about midway in the walk.
The pace will be closer to 2.0. I have a tendency to walk fast.
I expect everyone to stay together as a group and cross streets as a group.
There are bathrooms at the starting point, Kayu Kayu Park, possibly the library depending when we get there, and at the beach.
This is meant to be a pleasant social outing enjoying nature with the bonus of a physical activity.
We will have the option of going to the Blackbird Cafe in Shoreline afterwards for lunch/brunch.
