Details
UPDATE: Few (if any) tickets left!!!
Adult tickets are almost sold out for viewing the solstice sunrise at Maryhill Stonehenge Memorial! The Eventbrite page doesn't reflect this because more child tickets are still available. They freed up a few extra for us, but time is of the essence! Get your tickets now!

How about watching the Summer Solstice Sunrise at the Maryhill Stonehenge Memorial?
We have a fun camping weekend planned out!
Friday 19th we have some reserved campsites at Maryhill State Park. They are adjacent to one another and there is space for you still! If you'd like to camp with us please send me a message and we'll see if it works out! You will need your own tent and food.

What else is in the area? The Goldendale Observatory!
I have a reservation for us from 9pm to midnight on Friday the 19th night! You will need to RSVP ASAP with me so I can give them a final headcount, please :)

Saturday we can enjoy the park and Columbia River, or possibly the art museum since that is included in the admission and they said we could probably visit Saturday instead of Sunday like most will be visiting... It's a flexible time so we can play Saturday 9am-3pm by ear.
For the Solstice at MaryHill you will need to get a ticket for $55. Each ticket is for one individual adult (children are less) and includes evening + sunrise programs, a community breakfast, and museum admission. Here is their page for the event: https://www.maryhillmuseum.org/events/solstice-at-stonehenge#
Their program starts at 4pm Saturday the 20th and you can camp on the grounds. There is yoga and music and some intention setting with the sunrise on the 21st =)

Say goodbyes?
Potential to visit the art museum or surrounding areas, it may not be a group activity though, or maybe we go as a group?
If you have questions you can message and I'll do my best to answer but I'm more of a go with the flow than a scheduler
