The parking lot could be full or we could possibly fill it up so I thought we should try to car pool. Below is a map showing where the Orange Market convenient store is at the intersection of 419 and 311. It's used as a park and ride lot and it's very safe. I'll post this again before the hike. It's also in the photo gallery.
