We cover a distance of two miles, walking through Wooded Island and Bobolink Meadow.

We meet on the west side of the Columbia Basin (north lagoon) at 8:00am.  Park on Stony Island, near 59th street, walk east across the parkland area, then cross Cornell Drive to reach the spot.  Here's a map, with the meeting spot highlighted in yellow.
