Carpool Cost: Estimated cost per vehicle for this event is $56.00 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:
If mileage is wrong we will adjust but this is close. The reason I have upgraded this hike is because of water crossings in winter. No Alcohol pleas If you must remove yourself please call at least 1 1/2 hours before we are to meet at carpool.
