Jody Harris Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Hi, I'm definitely interested in camping at Jewell Island, and I think there was room when I RSVP'd. I'm a backpacker and camper from way back, and have some experience with kayak camping. Thanks so much for organizing this. Looking forward to it!

John Harkey Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I'm sure I missed some communication so must ask: For the Thursday Bug Light launch pod, will someone collect and distribute parking passes as last year, or do we each need to do this?
