We arrived at the departure site , along with others before Duggan arrived. I had to call him to be sure he was coming. We all felt a little uncomfortable because there was a "yelling man" in the park that none of us were too sure of and were anxious to leave the departure site. Duggan gave a great tour, of which I will share more on TripAdvisor.
