Tuesday, noon
Campground opens for those who really want to stretch out their time here. We’ll show you where to camp but the showers aren’t likely to be up and running unless you help to put that together. Volunteers will be greatly appreciated and respected. Non-Volunteers are also welcome but will be smiled at in passing by overworked crew.
