I'm collecting some articles on the right side of the blog for you to review. Please keep in mind that we will be primitive camping one night. this means no toilets, no sinks, no showers, etc. So if you haven't taken a dump in the woods before you might want to mentally and emotionally prepare yourself now. I'm going to throw some articles about the terrain in there too so you can pack appropriately, it could get pretty cold!

Six Weeks out check in...
Hello beautiful ones!
It's six weeks until our anticipated trip. I just wanted to touch base with everyone quickly and see if we have made any progress with some of our maybes or talked some of the others into it. I still only have confirmations from those i listed a couple posts ago. Any more to add or any to take away? (Julie, i never got confirmation from you... ).
If i get a chance between now and then i'd like to take a day trip out there to "suss" out the situation and do some small hikes around...
Also, i've been avoiding it but i have to say it now. There will be some $ involved. There is an $11 fee for Red Creek Campground (that's total not each). I imagine there is a person limit per campsite but i'm not finding it anywhere so we may need to get two sites, may also be more comfortable that way. Also, for the group meals we'd like a contribution. (IF you have special dietary needs and prefer to take care of yourself just let me know and we won't ask you to contribute. IF you want to be in on the meals just let me know what you can/can't have and we can make YOU-Friendly meals) You don't have to contribute in advance either, i'll just hit you up when you get there on friday.The group meals at this point are Friday Dinner & Smores AND Sunday Lunch (which may just end up being a hodge podge of sandwich fixins). So i'm figuring a total of $13 from everyone to cover the cost of the campsite(s) and the group meals. Any objections??
AND finally, i know i need to go on a shopping spree and get/gather some supplies. If anyone is interested in a little field trip to REI or the like please let me know! Also, if you just want gear advice hit me up. Most of you have my e-mail address and/or are friends with me on facebook or you can leave a comment here. Please feel free to ask me (though i may not know, i've never owned a water purifier for instance). If you haven't already please check out the gear list on the left of the blog for more info. If you have questions don't hesitate!
I'm sooooo excited!!!
Hope you're all enjoying the cool weather!
