Note:
We will hike in a short distance from the vehicles (<1 mile) and set up a base camp with our tents
and then a separate primitive camp where we will work on skills. There will not be strenuous hiking
with backpacks on.
We will be a short walk from nice outdoor (yet private) toilets and solar-heated showers along with
a sink and mirror that are available for our needs.
