Hi all,

I got a bit more information about this event from Jenny Yarrow, one of the campWAMP directors.

Here are the needs so far:

Saturday, August 6, 2005: Meet at Restroom area in Johnsville right after bridge.
Meeting time: 12:30 pm. Have lunch, load up campers and drive (off-road) to the camp at Hawley Lake. Arrive at camp approx 3:00 and unload.
Transportation needs: 16 campers and 20 staff

Saturday, August 13, 2005: Meet at Hawley Lake camp
Meeting Time: 10:30 – 11:00am. Load campers and gear. Depart towards Johnsville bus pickup to arrive by 1:00 pm.
Transportation needs: 16 campers and approx. 10 staff

Sunday, August 14, 2005: Meet at Restroom area in Johnsville right after bridge.
Meeting time: 12:30 pm. Have lunch, load up campers and drive (off-road) to the camp at Hawley Lake. Arrive at camp approx 3:00 and unload.
Transportation needs: 16 campers and 10 staff

Saturday, August 20, 2005: Meet at Hawley Lake camp
Meeting Time: 10:30 – 11:00am. Load campers and gear. Depart towards Johnsville bus pickup to arrive by 1:00 pm.
Transportation needs: 16 campers and 20 staff plus gear.

Be prepared to transport the kids, their wheelchairs, and their luggage. Adequate vehicle protection is recommended, so wheelchairs or other luggage does not damage paint.

Liability issues are currently being worked on by the camp directors. At the minimum, they will require all drivers to have current licenses, registration, and insurance policies.

Notes about the trail: The trail from the Johnsville bus drop-off point to the camp at Hawley Lake is relatively easy and is completely doable by any stock 4x4 with a low range transfer case. There is just one steep and slippery hillclimb getting out of the camp, but last year nobody had any problems.

I believe that August 6 is a good candidate date, since it allows most of us to get to the pickup point, deliver the kids, and complete our own camping/wheeling adventure and return home Sunday.

The other dates (August 13, 14 and 20) may not work as well for many of us, due to the 4 to 5-hour drive from the bay area to the Johnsville area.

Here\'s the thread from last year\'s trip. We all had a pretty good time.
