Friday Mar 3: Meet at the Baker Lodge at the earliest you can. We realize it is a school day and traffic is rough, Tom and Dmario will get to the Lodge around 5pm to ensure all can make it in.

YOU MUST TAKE A COVID TEST BEFORE ENTERING THE LODGE. This can be in Seattle or at the doorstep but any positive persons will be denied entry.
