7th Annual Jewell Island Camping May 23-25Level 3 trip that especially welcomes new kayak campers, and a reunion for those of us who don't see each other often enough, especially since we were drowned out last year. Here's a great opportunity for you paddlers who would like to try kayak-camping without the pesky bugs (beware of ticks!). This will be the 7th annual trip to Jewell, which has 2 large side-by-side campsites and a latrine. We typically have 10 or so paddlers, but an upper limit has not been established.
The Common Adventure Model (CAM) will be adopted
The SUGGESTED itinerary is as follows:
FRIDAY: Arrive at ______________________ on Friday, May 23, in plenty of time for a 10:30am launch (LT-1320). If you are new to kayak camping, you may need extra time packing your boat, so plan on arriving no later than 0930. CCW Cousins I. to Crow and/or Bangs for lunch and potential MITA/NSPN stewardship, then to Jewell campsite(s). Total Nautical Miles ~8
SATURDAY: Agenda TBD-bring your ideas for a day paddle or island activities (HT-0811). Prior trips have included Whaleboat/Little Whaleboat, Potts Harbor, Greens, Eagle, Great Diamond geocaching, Jewell's WW1 and WW2 military installations, and general camaraderie/gourmet foods around the camp fire.
SUNDAY: Back to cars via ???? (HT-0913), or spend another nite.
If you would like to join this group of friendly paddlers, or have any questions about this trip or camping in general, Private Message (PM) me. When you can commit, please PM the following information:
