Hey everyone, the Bay Area GGG 2017 is a go! I have reserved two group sites at Manzanita Point in Henry Coe State park for the last weekend of January 1/27/17-1/29/17. The cost is $5 per person.
Although there has been interesting discussion of other possible locations, I went with Henry Coe State park again because I know where it is and it’s easy for me. Plus they are currently allowing wood and charcoal fires in the fire rings at the Manzanita camps. I’ll haul in a massive tarp again, just in case.
Planning to have wood, alcohol and canister stove burn-offs, a “saw-off”, and a “weigh off” event to see who has the lightest cook kit, trekking poles, saw, knife, shelter, etc.
Anyone want to step up and contact some vendors to see if they’d like to participate? Outdoor Expo is a couple of weeks earlier, so at least there’s no direct calendaring conflict.
No potable water at the camp site. Does anyone have some large water containers we can take in by car? PM me so we can coordinate.
Lastly, I could use some help setting up a web-based sign up and pay page. Any volunteers? In the meantime, PM me and I’ll reply with payment information.
Looking forward to seeing old friends, making new ones, and in general geeking out over gear!
