Backpacking at Germantown Metropark

Overnight camping event, geared towards beginners! Feel free to discuss in comments or direct message trip leader (Ryan Otte) if have questions regarding necessary gear to hike to the campsite and have a comfortable night at camp. ✌️

IMPORTANT:
***Required to provide vehicle info to park overnight. Five Rivers Metroparks rangers need to know what vehicles will be staying overnight in their lot. By the day before trip, provide vehicle info to trip leader via Meetup.com direct message and I can call the Metroparks staff to update the permit.

• vehicle manufacturer
• vehicle model
• vehicle color
• license plate state of issuance
• license plate number
  Of course, feel free to work out carpooling arrangements via comments as needed, and trip leader can pick up three people if need.

Less important:
* Distance: Whatever we feel like on that day. 👍
* The permit capacity is 4 people
* Permit cost is $7 without alcohol consumption capability. If you want to chip in a few dollars cash to share in the permit cost, not required on my part, though appreciated. If want to consume alcohol, notify me as trip leader as soon as you can.
* Feel free to strike up a conversation in the comments below to make sure you have all the gear or knowledge for a good time out in the elements. I will keep tabs on the comments or feel free to direct message if desired for preparation questions.

The sites are awesome within the Five Rivers Metroparks system. Yew! 🤙✌️
