Hey Adventurers!!! Are you ready for a nature hike?
Our October Adventurer activity is this Sabbath at the Whitewater Preserve starting at 2:00 pm.
The address is 9160 Whitewater Canyon Road, Whitewater, California 92282. To get there go east on Interstate 10 to exit 114 toward Whitewater (just past the Palmsprings Hwy. 111 exit).
Once you exit the freeway you will turn left on to Tipton Road and cross over the I-10 freeway.
You will then turn left on to Whitewater Road. The preserve is approximately 4 miles up Whitewater road. There is minimal parking at the preserve itself, but there are several wide areas to park along Whitewater road just down from the preserve buildings and picnic area.
We will head out from the picnic area at 2:30 pm. The walk it self is about a half mile one way, along a fairly maintained trail, to the banks of the Whitewater river. Unfortunately, it is not recommended for standard strollers. However the preserve does have several fish ponds with paved/cement trails around them for those of you who have strollers and would still like to participate. We will give time for families to explore the area before heading back to the picnic area for worship and snacks.
Please remember to bring water, sunscreen and any other personal items you may need for a
nature hike. Long pants are recommended as well as a change of clothes should someone wind up in the river itself. This time of year the river will most likely resemble a stream. The weather forecast is sunny and 78 degrees. Please remember also to throw all trash into proper receptacles. Adventurers always want to leave an area cleaner than it was before we were there.
We should be finished by 4:30 pm. The park closes at 5:00 pm.

God's blessings to all of you for the rest of this week.
