Detailed Notes

  • Site representatives are generously taking time out of their day to inform us so please allow time for finding a park and keeping the schedule to time.
  • Enclosed, low-heeled shoes must be worn for safety reasons. Sneakers are ideal.
  • Please be advised that there may be some walking at sites. This may include uneven surfaces of an operational facility. Please stay with the group and follow site instructions, mindful of surroundings. Some sites may be viewed from the bus.
  • Some sites may be dusty and noisy so please bring your own mask/earplugs if you wish to use them.
  • Water, juice, fruit and some snacks will be provided as light refreshments, but you are also welcome to bring your own snacks and lunch for later. Please pack waste free options as there are no options for stopping to purchase or heat up food and no bins for material disposal.
  • Please be aware that toilets are only available at the marked toilet break locations.
