Subject:Mendocino Campout: Headline News!

OK Volks,
I've nailed down a great site for the campout!
Besides other swell advantages, the *drive time* from GG Bridge
or Richmond Bridge is only 2.5 hours!
That means that many can now camp Friday *&* Saturday nites.

When:  Friday June 29th thru Sunday July 1st.
Where: Hendy Woods State Park  (see attachment for map/details)

I've just come from Hendy Woods, 100 acres of anchient, virgin
redwood trees with gorgeous, spacious campsites with restrooms,
coin-op hot showers, pay telephone, & swimming in the Navarro River.
Dogs are allowed, on leashes, but not on park trails.

There are a few attractive, well-built, pine cabins available.
I intend reserving one for our use as *adult* lounge/bar/clubhouse!
I'll serve fresh ground coffee in the clubhouse in the morning--
but bring your own cup!
Each cabin is equipped with a little wood burning stove, table &
bench & two double bed platforms, stacked like bunks.
Cabins fresh/clean, screened windows, & porches.

Campsites cost  $12 per night, but will accomodate two vehicles at
no extra charge.  Each has picnic table & lots of space between sites.
The little town of Philo, in the heart of the Anderson Valley wine country
on Hy 128 has all the supplies you will need--fresh meats, gourmet pasta,
fresh veges, ice cream, locally made wine, brew pub beer, ice etc.

Friday morning I return to the park to pay Ranger for campsites.
So, if possible, tell me if you're camping one night or two.
*Let me know if you want a cabin for $20 a nite.
It's 'gona be great camping out here together!

Many of you are bringing family & children--which is great.
Bring bathing suits & comfortable *layered clothing; days are
very warm & evenings cool.
It's 'gona be a gas!

Ciao for now,
Phaedra
