We have combined the Burning Man even with this hang. We are planning on having a bonfire Saturday night, weather permitting. We will have the usual group hang activities and a few more. There are also hikes to go on in the area on Saturday. We will also have some activities to do around camp on Saturday. We will have games for the kids. We are also planning on a GPS Scavenger Hunt/Poker Run around the camp area on Saturday, so if you have a GPS, bring it. We do not have any extra GPS’s but if you have extras for people to use, please bring them.
Please come and join us.
