Hikers having known health problems are responsible for bringing whatever medications or remedies that they may require to insure their personal safe passage, with a minimum delay to themselves and to the rest of the group, during and after the hike. New hikers should notify a committee person of any health problems that they may have and of the remedies they will bring.	Hikes may be switched without advanced notice when weather/road conditions dictate.
