Your Own gear (Some people have offered loaner equipment, make sure you have contacted them and made proper arrangements)

Firewood (don't worry about transport to campsite, plenty with pulks to help with that, including a raffle pulk so it you want to try before you buy Gary and CreativeKayt may loan it out for wood hauls)
White Elephant Gift (Prefer outdoorsy stuff, but anything will do, New or used, useful or funny, $20 is the customary spending limit but you can spend more if you feel like it)
Money for Pulk Raffle ($20. Oh yea proceeds go to a good cause I think the current idea is Wounded Warriors)

Directions from Lot
Walk basically directly east, there is a road that does a circle around the campground. Your first turn is going to be a right (for those night arrivers this is where the glow stick will be shortly down the road you are supposed to go) after that you can go left or right as all roads lead to the "Emerald Castle". Generally we will congregate near the restrooms there is one near the front and two near the back.

Anything else please feel free to adjust.

Roll Call
This does not mean if you do not respond that you can not come. It would be nice to be surprised.

Pulk is done, include's fiberglass poles and belt. I really do think this is worth a $20 gamble.

[bgraybackpacker]

Very Nice looking. I agree 20 sounds good.

[bgraybackpacker]
