Check back for additional information!

No specific activities planned as of 2/2013 but this will be a very busy weekend in the Black Rock and there are usually fireworks besides! It's a shame to waste a long weekend so it'll probably be a car camp at a hot spring. Possible Amateur Radio Class on Sunday. Leader is very familiar w/ the area and can find plenty to do up there. Sorry, no RV's or Trailers, High Clearance Vehicles, primitive camping. Dogs on Leash, LNT so be prepared to pick up after them!
