Chloe and Colin should arrive near 10:30 am. We plan to celebrate Chloe's
hike and the fact that we can actually see her during her 6-week adventure.
Chloe and Colin will stay till about 1 pm... and then it's off hiking their
remaining 10.7 miles for the day. You, of course, are welcome to stay and
picnic it up for the rest of the day.
