Preliminary info:

looks like there will be two campsites......the camp where my lady friend, her 2 kids, and her friends with kids, (about 10 people total) will be camping, and another site close nearby, for the Dawgs. SY Dawgs are very welcome to come to the main camp & campfire and meet and mingle.

campsites are RUSTIC, [as in they are NOT BC Provincial Campsites (maintained)], on a logging road outside of Hope BC. There is a river beside the camps, ample wood to cut for firewood, and at least 3 of us (myself and her friends) will have chainsaws/axes to do so.

not sure on the parking situation, but as i understand it, there is lots of room for trucks/vans to park and the road leading to the site is hardpan, with some potholes and ruts.


Animals:

there will be around 2 - 4 SMALL lap dogs present, dont know if any of ya have dogs but they are welcome,a s long as they dont eat the other dogs and you pick up doodies if pooped in the camp area.

wilderness animals:

bears, cougars, deer, coons, are all present. Take appropriate food storage precautions. Bear bangers are encouraged kit....

Latrines: NONE

latrines are build your own affairs, preferably DOWNRIVER from the 2 camps and away from the water. Bring a shovel and bucket and cover each "trip" with a bit of forest soil. Burn your TP, but dont burn down the forest. Please maintain very clean hygiene standards, either with a bucket of water with a bit of bleach or alcohol cleaners or both.

so far thats all the info i have got, i have not been up to the site yet, i hope to go there and get pictures BEFORE the Sept Labour Day long weekend, and directions so its easy to find .

EDIT: pretty sure the camps are about 5 KM up the Carolina Mine Rd U turn exit, outside of HOPE BC.

will confirm as aoon as i can! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
