      Hey Mark… the event takes place in the grassy area directly across the street from the Ranger Station… the best way to get over is to bike through the park.

    I have a friend who is house-bound but has followed P-22’s story since its inception. Will there be coverage of the event available online, either live or as a link afterwards?
