**Directions:** Locust Grove is located on Glen Ave across the sreet from the NJ Transit/ Millburn station. There is parking in the lot however it fills up early, so there is extra free parking at the train station and the library, both simply across the street. Port-o-Johns in the park as well. **Holiday Spirit!** Each year at Gobble, Gobble we like to do somethig special to support the community. Again, this year we will collect old coats for all ages, children through adults. Bring your coats to the walk and drop them in my car and I will deliver them to The GenWealth Financial Group for donation. Bring a coat, to help keep someone warm. **For safety and comfort:** Dress for warmth (layers suggested) Hiking shoes/boots. Trails can be muddy and rocky in some areas. Hiking poles are helpful; not required.
