How Do I Sign Up For a Hike?
To sign up for a hike, first
look over our current schedule and pick a
hike you'd like. Then phone the leader (telephone number given at end
of hike listing) and make a reservation. Our bus is often fully
reserved, so to avoid being placed on a waiting list it is a good idea
to sign up early in the week. In any case try to sign up before 4:00
pm Friday afternoon before the hike. And PLEASE don't call leaders after
9:00 PM! That's all there is to it. But don't forget to show up!
If you do sign up it is a commitment to come because
we'll be saving a seat for you on the bus. If you are a no show you
are probably depriving someone else of a place on the hike. The empty
seat means you are also depriving the club of revenue it needs to keep
hiring buses for the hikes.
If you sign up but find you have to cancel, please make sure you cancel
with the leader before 8:00 am, Saturday, before the hike, otherwise
we will list you as a no-show. We expect no shows to send the specified
bus fare to our treasurer. Send checks to Emil Friberg, PO Box 51146,
Washington DC 20091.
Please note: We do not accept reservations via the contact form on this web site. Please telephone the leader to make your reservation.
If you come hiking with us, you may put your name on a list to receive weekly e-mails about upcoming hikes. E-mail addresses for leaders are supplied in these messages, which will allow you to sign up online.
If this is your first time hiking
with us, it is club policy that you will take the moderate hike. This
is in the interest of hiker safety and to avoid unexpected distress
for hikers not experienced or fit enough to take the long hike.
