Description
Family members, dogs, new members, etc. are welcome, but all waivers/AR forms must be done to protect the Club and the volunteers who are organizing the event
- Family members – as per the Minor’s policy listed on the Minor’s Page
- Members are solely responsible for supervision and organizing the minor guest they are bringing.
- Members book 2 places and comment to the event.
- Member’s dogs are welcome (one dog per member) and a leash must be carried and/or used. We will follow club policy as noted on the Our Furry Friends Page.
- Dog owners must comment to the event listing so that members know how many dogs are coming.
- This will not be an event for any dog that can’t be controlled easily since we may see wildlife, cattle, may have younger children, etc.
- At the top are drop-offs so children and pets should stay well-back from the edge. Owners and parents are asked to manage this at the top.
- We don’t want this to be chaotic so we ask all participants to help to make this work.
-
Watch the listing and its comments for updates (esp. if the weather is marginal)
Carpooling
- Meet at Valleyview Arena (click the Meetup Locations Page to see a map) at 9:30 to organize carpooling.
- Dog owners will be bringing their own vehicles.
- We will drive to the Mt. Buse trailhead (details can be found on the Mt. Buse page)
- Riders should expect to pay $5 for the ride (or drive themselves instead).
- The trailhead crosses private property but we have permission to park and hike, so we should park and proceed respectfully (thanks to Buse Creek Ranch).
Mt. Buse
- a shorter hike (3.5 km) with a climb to the top of the ridge and fine views
- article on the hike – Buse Hill
- a side trail leads over to the Buse Pinnacle
- a loop route veers east to go past ponds and meadows
- early lunch at the top
- ticks will be out
- dress for the weather
- we will try to organize groups for faster or slower hikes, dogs, kids, etc. but this will all be done at the trailhead, depending on who registers for the event
- the concept is a staggered start – regular hikers go first, dog owners go second, family members and slower hikers go last, each group with only a short wait
- This will be a team effort and leaders can only offer “open” events like this if everyone pitches in to help.
