Please come out to join Kapang! and me out on the Northern California cost for the NorCal Holiday Hang. We'll be hanging at Point Reyes National Seashore, Sky Camp. Here are the details:
Friday, December 20th Sky Camp 6 & Saturday, December 21st Sky Camp 5 (right next to Sky 6).

Kapang! will arrive at Sky 6 Noon on Friday. I may try to hike in late Friday (night hike anyone?) or early Saturday morning from the Bear Valley Visitor lodge.
Sky Camp is located on the western side of Mt. Wittenberg at an elevation of 1025 feet. In clear weather, it has sweeping views of Point Reyes, Drakes Bay, and the Pacific Ocean.
There are two ways to get to Sky camp. Easy way: via Limantour road about 1.2 miles moderate hike in. I believe you can ride a bike in this way as well.
More difficult: From the Bear Valley Visitor center hike up and over Mt Wittenberg and drop down to Sky Camp. 2.7 miles. About a 1200 feet elevation gain mostly in the first 1.8 miles of the hike. Takes me a few hours (I average about 2 mph).
Amenities at the hike-in/bike-in sites included picnic tables, charcoal grills, food storage lockers with centrally located pit toilets and drinking water; no pets :-(
Weather for that time of year range for the high of 68 to a low of 38. Rain and fog are also a possibility. We'll know more as we get closer.
Let us know if you are interested. We will post more detail as time goes on.
