Carpool Cost:

Estimated cost per vehicle for this event is $13.60 using a reimbursement rate guideline of $0.400 per mile. The total amount should be divided by the number of people in the vehicle, including the driver. This is a guideline, not a rule, for drivers but the cost should not be higher unless there are extenuating circumstances.

Notes:

The Park Office has no street number assigned to it. If you follow the directions to 50 Lodge Road you will get to the lodge, which is the wrong place.

* We encourage all members to follow our Etiquette Guidelines while participating in AOC events.
