First scheduled foray is Saturday morning at 10 AM, back for lunch then out again at 1 or 2 PM. Sunday is open.
Great evenings of socializing, getting to know other like-minded fungophiles, carrying on deep mycological conversations, taste testing, singing and whatnot dependant on libations.
There is a closed-in shelter on site, a few picnic tables, and outdoor toilets, but no power or water hookups.
Pump water on site but water is not certified potable.
Sketchy cell service in the valley.
Firewood is provided.
Hopefully, the weather will cooperate and there will be a plethora of tasty edibles
ie: Hedgehogs, yellow foots, gypsies, red tops, russulas, lobsters, if not at least great company. Bring an instrument if you play and the usual foray (wet weather) essentials.
