Maniac 0 Posted August 25, 2011 I am going to be at Coon with the group... I have an extra adventure pass that I will sell for $15 if anyone needs it. I ended up with two this year... I think it's good through July 2012. See everyone there! Can't wait. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johnnybags 0 Posted August 27, 2011 Gonna be an AWESOME weekend. Rain today ups the chance we will still be allowed to have a nice roaring camp fire. Starting this coming Monday/Tuesday Aug 29/30th I'll be at the last yellow post campsite on the left before you get to the cabin. Easy to recognize cottage looking 10 man tent. Should be there for up to 14 days. Consider it the Coon Creek Cabin welcome tent / Hookah Lounge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bluefin2na 0 Posted August 31, 2011 See ya all up there, I am making this one,, Where does one get the adventure pass to park? Can i pick one up when i get there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mistress of the dual 1 Posted August 31, 2011 See ya all up there, I am making this one,, Where does one get the adventure pass to park? Can i pick one up when i get there? If you are coming up Highway 38 you can pick one up at the US Forest Service Ranger Station at the base of the hill on the corner of Highway 38 & Bryant Street. Or you can go here to find vendors who sell them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dsfox 0 Posted August 31, 2011 Schwinny, you guys hanging for any meals? He said NO...they will just be in town, and we might see them on the trail..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dsfox 0 Posted August 31, 2011 See ya all up there, I am making this one,, Where does one get the adventure pass to park? Can i pick one up when i get there? Because we are at a Paid Group site, WE don't need adventure passes in camp....BUT anywhere else in the forest, vehicles need them... You can buy them at REI, or any National Forest Ranger station...and the local ones are good for San Bernardino, Cleveland and Los Angeles National forests..... See you up there...
