Make room on your calenders for November 3, 4, 5, 2017 for the 2nd Annual Loco Libre Gear Piney Woods Hang. This will be a great weekend of relaxing in the infamous Jersey Pine Barrens. Last year over 55 folks showed up, and while I can't promise the Jersey Devil will show up I can promise the crew from Loco Libre Gear will! We have the Batona Camp on Carranza Road (directions to come) from noon Friday until noon Sunday.

Saturday Dinner - Pulled pork tacos w/ corn tortillas, Cole slaw, Sweet corn cake, and sauteed onions and peppers.
Of course there will be other things that folks are bringing like bacon, brats, etc., so no one should go hungry.

Tons of trees to hang from, but ground dwellers are welcome too!
There is a hand pump for water, and privies for, well, you know.
Activities
The Batona Trail passes through the area,and Apple Pie Hill fire tower is a short (2.5 mile?) hike away.
The Carranza Memorial is right outside of camp, and historic Batsto Village is a close drive.
Raffle
The raffle will be held BEFORE dinner. I like the way raffle and dinner flowed at MAHHA so we're going to give that a try. Raffle tickets will be $5 each, and you will be able to purchase then on Saturday afternoon. All profits from the raffle this year will be donated to St. Judes Childrens Hospital.
It's getting close, the weather is cooling, and I'm looking forward to a great time in the Piney Woods!
