We are making > available: hostel-style lodging for up to 100 people, camping sites with > a bathhouse, our trails, waterfront, our beautiful property, cliffs, > coffee shop, small kitchen, etc for this event. We are looking for this > to be a very laid back sort of thing with lots of room for adventure. > The cost is free, with the exception of short order meals for those > interested. > > One interesting thing that prompted the start of all this were two > reports of a found cave on our property from two unrelated group of > hikers and adventure racers.
