Level 3 trip that especially welcomes new kayak campers, and a reunion for those of us who don't see each other often enough. 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 8th annual trip to Jewell, which has 2 large side-by-side campsites and a latrine. We typically have 10 or so paddlers; an upper limit of 12 paddlers has been established.
The Common Adventure Model (CAM) will be adopted
The SUGGESTED itinerary is as follows:
May 15, in plenty of time for a 10:30am launch (HT-0915). If you are new to kayak camping, you may need extra time packing your boat, so plan on arriving no later than 0930. Make your way, via different routes to Jewell campsite(s). Total Nautical Miles ~4-8. Typical pot luck supper venue for those who wish to participate.
SATURDAY: Agenda TBD-bring your ideas for a day paddle or island activities (HT-1014). 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-1109), or spend another nite.
