November Overnight Announcement

November 13, 2016

November Overnight
The November overnight is Saturday the 19th, returning Sunday. Currently slated for Piedra Blanca, but depending on the water situation, may be switched to Matilija. Also, please note that we have a Level IV fire restrictions in force just now for the forest, so, no fires, no stoves. I know, bummer. But hey, this is what we do. We rise to the occasion and make it work. Menu planning will need to be centered about food that does not require cooking. On the bright side, no need carry stoves, fuel and probably cook kits!

Please sign up for the trip, we all need to get our backpacking legs under us!
