Florida campout/meet and greet Jan 21-23rd, 2011
Ocala, Florida campout
Date- January 21, 22nd and 23rd, 2011
Location- Lake Shore Group Camp, Ocala, Florida.
Time- Arrive any time after 2pm on Friday. Leave out by 11am on Sunday.
Food- bring your own. No planned communal meals this go around per the request of NUMEROUS people. In other words, plan to feed yourself the entire time your there.
Facilities- nice lake view area to camp at. Plenty of grass, some shady trees. A short 20-40 yard walk to hot showers, real toilets and vehicles.
Feel free to come for the entire time, the day, a couple hours. Your call.
Kids- families are always welcome. That being said, we expect you to control and keep watch over any children in your care. Their is a lake (drowning hazard) and a fire always going (burn hazard). Make sure your children know not to kick dirt at people, throw sticks and firewood toward people, etc. Think "church behavior" not out of control had 10 bags of candy behavior. Help the campout be enjoyable for EVERYONE.
Classes and other instruction- open to ideas/requests but as usual their will be numerous free classes. We have talked with a Florida Edible plant expert about coming up. That will take money however, so if your interested in taking a 2-3 hour edible plants class at the campout, chime in and let us know. Estimate cost for that class to be approximately $20. per person just for that class, which is EXTREMELY CHEAP and having been through one of his classes before, VERY, VERY WORTHWHILE. If you don't commit to this, we cannot expect to get him there. In other words, if you keep silent about wanting that class, don't expect to see it. We need to properly gauge interest first- that means feedback from you.
Cost of campout- $20. per family, payable at campout. These camp sites aren't free! This cost will not include the cost of the edibles class if we can get the instructor to come. Of course everyone understands that the low cost of $20. for a weekend of camping and classes is a good value.
Firewood- If everyone brings a little bit, we should be good. It's almost a 6 hour trip for me, so bringing a truck and trailerload like in GA isn't an option unfortunately. It doesn't have to be pretty, it just has to burn
Weather- is always unpredictable, plan accordingly. We can all hope for sunshine and 68 degrees when the SHTF but reality says it probably won't be that. As it gets closer we will post weather updates. Pack and dress warm, it does get cool even in Florida in January.
Look forward to seeing folks again!
