Yesterday in the Assembly Meeting, I mentioned that a camping trip is being organized. We are unable to present full details yet due to difficulties in finding available campsites withing 1.5 hours of West LA where we can have a campfire. Here are the details
The camping trip would be one night, either a Friday or Saturday of the weekend of Oct. 16 or 23.
We have been looking mainly along the beach as you can't go wrong with the beach and fires are permitted there, but most are all booked up or we can't reserve because the State is deciding whether it wants to shut the campground down. Most of the National Forests around LA have prohibited campfires in their campgrounds. A third option is a desert park, though in October the night would be nice (lots of stars and cool or cold), but the day could be hot and shadeless.
What I would like to know right now is whether you are interested in attending (I will make an email list of only those interested so that every communication doesn't have to go over the listserves)? Which weekend/day works best for you? Also, do you know of any open camping areas near LA if our first options fall through that have openings on any of these days?
Finally, many may be worried that you don't have the necessary equipment. Don't worry. If you let this be known I am sure that we could dig up some. Also, the outdoor rec center at UCLA rents gear for cheap.
Please reply if interested. More details will follow.
