Buy a ticket now!

What to Bring

Bring everything you need to be self-sufficient. Saturday dinner will be provided—we’re working on the menu. Friday night, you’re on your own!

Forecast-wise: during the day, there’s not much shade, so hats, sunscreen, and shade structures are recommended. At night, it can get chilly.

Firewood: Please bring some firewood, newspaper, and/or kindling if you have some laying around.

How to Get There

We’ll be at Olema Campground (here’s a map) in sites 402-406 and 411-420. The welcome wagon arrives around 4:30 p.m. Friday. Plan to arrive any time after that. Spots will be first come, first served.

See the campground’s website for more info. We’ll also post updates to the event page on our site.

Questions?

Send us an email if you need more information, or call Chris at 626-222-8432.
