HIKING New Member Hiking -- for 4 miles on 09/09/2023 @ 4:00pm-7:30pm -- Please join us for a walking tour of UD’s Botanical Gardens followed by dinner at Grain Exchange at Star Campus with a stop at the UD Creamery on the way back to our cars. Please bring money or a credit card as we will not return to our cars prior to dinner and ice cream breaks. Hike will be on paved surfaces with some grassy areas in the gardens. There will be two sets of stairs to climb and a slight incline crossing over the railroad tracks. Please allow approximately three- and one-half hours for this hike. Hike will continue as scheduled in case of light rain but not if there is thunder. Please dress appropriately and bring water. Plan to arrive at Newark City Municipal Building for a 4 pm start. It will be twilight until 7:49 on 9/9 so we should still have plenty of daylight and the return walk will be on lighted streets.
