Dates: September 25th - 26th
Location: Rhododendron, OR (Mt. PLA as we have hijacked it like a bunch of Somalis. Alex would be so proud)
The camping near the river is FREE, but it's first come first serve. Redd if you could do like you did last time and post signs to secure our spot for the extra night of camping, that would be glorious.
