  • If you bring a sleepingbag and don't mind roughing it, you are welcome to stay at the Josephine Butler Parks Center both Friday and Saturday nights. We (NOI) have rented it both nights for out-of-town visitors. I will be there after 8PM to let people in. I recommend cabbing from Union Station; it's about $10. ~Roz Please add your name here (requested not required):
