Hey! Let's go for a walk around Alviso. It's a picturesque ghost town that is sort of near Great America, and on the waterfront:

We'll meet near the parking lot, by the bathrooms. We'll plan to leave 10 mins after event start (so 5:40), to allow for any latecomers, but please do your best to be on time so that the group can head out on time. If you're late in theory you can walk quickly to catch up with the group, so that's an option too. The approximate route is marked, we basically go straight and turn around at the turn around time. I'll aim to leave on time!
Plan & Distance:
We'll most likely go along the green path (marked in photo) on the waterfront and do about 20-30 mins out and then 20-30 mins back for approx 40-60 mins total. It will most likely be around 2 miles, but obviously depends on our speed and ambition- we'll walk at a slow and leisurely pace.
Timing:
• 5:30: Meet in parking lot, by bathrooms. Wait 10 mins for everyone to gather
• 5:40: Head out to the water, turn left, walk and talk
• 6:10-6:20ish: Turn around and walk back
• 6:30-6:50ish: Arrive back at parking lot
How many & When:
I expect around 10 people, but more are welcome. We'll leave at 10 mins after meetup start time. We'll go to a nearby restaurant for food afterwards if anyone wants to. I'll move people off of the waitlist based on prior attendance so that I have an accurate-ish headcount. I'm going to aim to run this for about 6 weeks, maybe with a break for 4th of July.
Bring:
- Water if you think you'll need it
- A hat since it may still be a bit sunny
- Comfortable shoes for walking
It's likely dry out since the weather has been nice but wearing sturdy shoes is recommended in case there's any mud. Having said that, I've seen Wizards do this walk in flip flops, so you do you :)
See you!
