Sunday, 12/27: 🥾 hike.🎧Nia.☔hike @ ~ Sauvie Island/Warrior Rock Lighthouse

**Sauvie Island \~ Warrior Rock Lighthouse Trail, OR**

* Let's meet @ 15000 NW Sauvie Island Rd. (on your left) This is a free parking lot, great for carpoolers to Sauvie. We will **carpool** the remaining 1/2 hour drive from this lot to our trailhead.
* Cracker Barrel Grocery Mart (not affiliated with Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc) is just one click up the street a bit from our carpool lot and has **$10 one-day parking passes** or an annual ODFW Wildlife Area Parking Permits for purchase. Each vehicle continuing onto Sauvie will need a permit to park.
* This event is posted from 9am till 1:30pm, a whopping total of 4 1/2 hours due to the 1/2 drive to and fro the carpool lot on top of our hike itself being over 6 miles. (longer than our typical hike.Nia.hikes)
* We will trek a lengthy **6.1 mile out-and-back-long-flat-easy-trail** which runs parallel to the Columbia River. Across the river to the NE is the confluence of the Columbia and the Lewis River... wow! ... that's cool.
* It will be fun to find the Sauvie Island Warrior Rock Lighthouse trail where we can dance our ***Nia*** by the lighthouse, with the breeze of the river, on a pretty little cove.
* ***Nia*** *Somatic movement* is gentle, fun, inclusive, healing, move-at-YOUR-own-pace & in YOUR body's way. It is about what it **FEELS** like, not so much what it looks like, y'all. No prior experience necessary.
* We use headphones (provided), handsfree mic, radio transmitter & iPod technology!
* Please wear clothing you like to move in and **hooded rain gear** (when needed) to protect our headphones.
* Be sure to have a healthy **breakfast** that includes protein & please pack a snack. (this is a longer hike than we usually post... Tony is very strong but he does not want to have to carry you out and I don't want to share my sandwich!)
* Bring your full **water** bottle.
* If your **intention to attend changes**, pretty **please change your RSVP** status on MeetUp to "Not Going" as soon as your plans change. I have limited sets of headphones and would love to avoid "no-shows" from excluding others who wish to join. THX.
* Please avoid asking others on a date during this event. My intention is to foster **safe space** to meet new people, hike, dance and FEEL the music. Please respect your fellow attendees. I remove members who aim to "pick-up". Please let me know if you are ever made uncomfortable by another during an event.

We would LOVE to have you join us …
