We have reserved some picnic tables at Roaring Camp Railroads.
Festivities will start at 11am and go until everyone leaves. There
is a BBQ area we can use, and there are restrooms nearby.
UPDATE: Due to the rain over the
last week, our event has been moved to the main BBQ pits at Roaring
Camp Railroads. This is closer to the restrooms and the main
buildings. I have requested some tables with shade as
well.
We will have charcoal for BBQing, feel free to bring
things to cook! We'll bring some hot dogs, hamburgers, and veggie
burgers, but if people bring food it will be a huge help. You're on
your own for drinks, other than water.
To get the special icon, we will need to take a group
picture. The picture will happen at noon so there's time for people
to leave and take the train if they'd like afterwards!
There will be a raffle! Prizes include t-shirts,
geocoins, travelbug tags, and other groundspeak shwag. Everyone who
shows up gets a raffle ticket, extras are available for purchase to
help offset the cost of the event! $1 per ticket, or 6 tickets for
$5. Winners will be drawn throughout the event.
Santa Cruz has a unique version of the 10 year
anniversary geocoin which we will be selling at the event for $10.
For every coin purchased, you get two more raffle
tickets!
Parking does cost money at Roaring Camp, although there
is an overflow lot that's a bit further of a walk that's free. It
may be full. Additionally, you can also park at Henry Cowell next
door and it's a short walk in. They also charge for parking unless
you have a state park pass.
The trains will be running this weekend. It does cost
money.
