• Don’t go into the parking area to your left.
• Go straight into the parking lot in front of you.
•Go to the back of that parking lot.
• You’ll see a little opening at the back of the first parking lot your left going from one parking lot to another.
• There’s a little sign stating “overnight parking”.
• Go through there then immediately turn right and go into that parking lot to the right.
• You’ll see a sign that states “Stone Door Entrance”. This is where you park.

A copy of camping receipt or name associated with reservation MUST be placed in the dash of each vehicle that is to be parked overnight. I will have these available for everyone to put in their vehicles.

SAFETY:
Please bring information along detailing emergency contacts, allergies, medical issues such as diabetes.
🌻
Absolutely no hiking after dark. The park ranger may check campsites in the evening to see if campers have arrived safely.
🌻
This is bear territory so we must hang our food and trash at night or when away from the site. If you have bear spray, please bring though very doubtful we would need it. I've been here a few times and never even saw a bear. Just being cautious is all.
🌳🍄🌳🍄🌳🍄🌳🍄🌳🍄
We can have 6 people at this site
🌻
If you sleep in your car, message the organizer but don’t add yourself in as going. Those showing as going are those in a hammock or tent at the site. The rangers want to limit how many people are literally camping onsite. Be aware that some places don’t want people sleeping in their cars so be stealthy if you do do that.
🌳🍄🌳🍄🌳🍄🌳🍄🌳🍄🌳
There are several places to explore in this park so there’s something for everyone to do. There are easy trails in this park as well as more challenging ones. Please look up websites about the trails here. A nearby trail will take you down an area known as the Stone Door.
🌻
We’ll play it by ear on what we’ll do. We can explore the area in groups or people can go off on their own. Or, you can stay at camp if you feel like it.
🌻
We’ll have all day Wednesday to explore the area.
🌳🍄🌳🍄🌳🍄🌳🍄🌳🍄🌳
There is a water spigot and outhouses nearby. No showers. There are nice bathrooms near the ranger station we can use to refresh ourselves in if need be.
🌻
I will also bring my popup bathroom because I don’t like walking around in the dark. Anyone can use it if they want, they just need to bring their own potty with them (5 gallon bucket). We’ll just change out buckets.
🌳🍄🌳🍄🌳🍄🌳🍄🌳🍄🌳
FOOD:
We usually bring stuff for everyone to share at least 1 evening meal which will be Wednesday evenings meal for this trip. In the past we have done Hobo Stew for dinner. Everyone brought something to put in the stew and it was delicious! We’ll detail what everyone wants to bring for the stew as it gets closer to the trip.
Other than that one shared meal, we’ll pretty much fend for ourselves for mealtime.
