In cooperation with the State Parks division, Hayes State Parks
and MIGO, we would like to invite you out to join us for a weekend
of great caching, camping and comraderie!!! Help us to celebrate
and support our new partnership with the Michigan State Parks,
bring your camping equipment, boat and an appetite for FUN!!! We
are planning on having Bob Evans ribs for dinner Saturday evening,
please bring a dish to pass.
Located in the Irish Hills area on M-124 just to the north of
US-12, we are approxiamtely 20 minutes from Jackson, 40 minutes
from Ann Arbor, about an hour from Toledo area, maybe a bit more
from the Detroit area...close by for our Ohio and Indiana friends
to come and join, as well as our northern friends!!
We have many great activities in the planning, there will be
night caching, possibly a scavanger hunt (caching related of
course) and great relaxation and company!! We have a good number of
local caches in the area for all to enjoy, we also plan to place a
good number of new caches to be published for the event!!
Camping in Hayes is modern...showers, paved campsites, great
playgrounds and activities area, fishing w/boat launch to two lakes
in the park (Wampler's and Round lakes) and a picnic and beach
area!! Camping is $23 per night, you can call ahead for
reservations, but I was told that would be an extra fee

need unless you have special concerns or needs!! There are also a
couple of mini-cabins available for rent, for more info, you can
contact Pam at the Hayes Park office, or call 1-800-44PARKS for

helpful in getting this all set up!! Team Cammo have offered use of
