The Death March is tomorrow. Are you ready? Here’s some final pre-game information.

Make your pack tonight. Prep water, good shoes, a hat, sunscreen, and some snacks. Ideally bring some fun stuff like flags and noise makers and dress to the theme of Post-Apocalypse is possible.

Print out the two page Survival Guide and map. While you are there, check out the brand new Death March site!

Consider driving to the end in the morning. We had lots of drivers last year, but not a corresponding increase in hikers. This year it look like the opposite. Twice the confirmed hikers but lots of people saying, “Oh, we had plenty of cars last year.” Check out the Ride Corps event and information.

Leave no trace! Last year, the trash can at Eagle Rock was overflowing. Please bring a good trash bag and pack your trash to Musch Camp, Trippet Ranch, or pack it out completely. Respect the area and pick up any trash you may see. Let’s leave the park better than we found it.

Last, meet at the top of Reseda at 9:30am! Arrive early, park outside the gate/fee area, and walk up to the meeting point at the loop at the south end of Reseda.

See you tomorrow!
