Friday, September 12th starting at 8:30pm at the Tenderfoot Campground on Summit Lake near Seward Highway MP 46!
End summer in SouthCentral with a fun-filled weekend cleaning and camping trip between Turnagain Pass and Seward! This is the third running of a HOBO CITO series that was devised, developed, and planned in the GeocacheAlaska! forums. Help us wrap up the summer tourist season by squeezing in one more frenzy of cleaning before the rapidly approaching snow season. Let's get rid of some of that junk before it gets covered up for the winter!
Bring your tent (or small RV) and sleeping bags for an evening campfire social. We'll roast s'mores and hot dogs over the campfire while sharing your scary caching stories. Official event start will be 8:30PM to allow Friday workers time to travel to the campground (about 1-1/2 hours from Anchorage) and we expect the campfire talk to linger late into the evening if you are running a little late. Bring some snacks and beverages (adult beverages are OK, but bring your own and consume responsibly!) Winter is fast approaching, so make sure you bring proper cold weather clothing and an extra blanket or two for that sleeping bag.
Heavy rain is forecast for the area this weekend so bring good rain gear, waterproof tent, and extra dry clothing! There is a camping fee of $18 per site that must be paid on arrival. We have sites 6 through 13 reserved for us along the lakefront. JOAT is bringing a 12x12 canopy for the social site so we can sit out of the rain.
Note, the published coordinates are for the entrance to the campground. Proceed to the right around the campground loop and we will be somewhere amongst sites 6 through 13. On Saturday morning we will gather for an informal community breakfast and have a relaxing morning prior to breaking camp to head off to the first CITO site a few miles up the highway.
