FAQ
- I don't have a tent?
- That's okay we have plenty. Between Joe and Kensie, we have at least 3 extra tents. We'll make it work!
- How much is this going to cost me?
- The campsite itself will likely cost $20-30/person for the weekend. It's cheap. The most expensive thing will be gas and that can be lowered by carpooling. Family style meals will make food cheaper. I don't expect this trip to cost much at all.
- Toilets or showers?
- There are outhouses and Joe will bring an outdoor shower setup for community use.
- Can I bring my dog?
- On leash. The owners have 4 friendly dogs who might appear to say hello!
- What if it rains?
- We pivot or we go anyway, we can decide if that time comes.
- What if I bail?
- That's okay, ultimately your loss. You can touch grass with us next time.
- Can I suggest a different location/date?
- Of course, please use the comment form below
- Will there be bears?
- Unlikely, but maybe?
