We will meet at the south end of the Cheatham Hill parking lot at 9:50 for introductions. We will then proceed south on the west side of the Kolb Farm West Trail in a counterclockwise direction. We will turn left and follow the Cease Fire Trail until it comes to the John Ward Connector. We will continue until we get to the Old John Ward Road Trail, following it back to the parking lot. 

We will stop at the Illinois Monument Parking Lot to use the new restrooms, if they are open.
