8-18-2016

Meet at 5:00 ?  I'll text if time changes.

We will Cancel if there is a problem due to the Blue Cut Fire.



Teachers and Priests have been making Hammocks.

If you don't have a hammock or did not finish yours, there will be plenty of space on the ground.

Essentials needed:
Sleeping Pad (you will need this in the Hammock for insulation underneath you.  YOU WILL BE COLD if you do not have a pad)  Something like this:  Ozark Trail Pad
Sleeping Bag
Backpack

Food:
Bring food for Dinner and breakfast.

Water:
I don't know if we will have access to water so bring AT LEAST 3 QUARTS.

I have a couple extra backpacks and sleeping pads, but probably not enough for everyone. Call dibs if you need something.
