Veggie camping trip (local)

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

 

We're thinking of organizing another Bay Area veggie camping trip. We did

one several years ago in Oakland (I think it was at Anthony Chabot, I

remember LOTS of eucalyptus trees) and it was a lot of fun. We just did it

on a regular weekend, starting Saturday morning with a hike and ending

Sunday afternoon. Because it was local, a few people came just for Saturday

day; although it was in the East Bay, had quite a few South Bay folks, too.

Most of us spent the nite, we even had some friendly guitarists and campfire

songs. And, of course, lots of vegan food :-) Because it was just an

overnite trip, we did it potluck style, with folks making stuff ahead of

time and just keeping it fresh in individual coolers.

 

We're thinking of doing another local camping trip sometime in early

summer/June, probably potluck style for the food again. Everyone provides

their own camping gear, split campsite costs, etc. Butano State Park has

been recommended to us.

 

- According to Native American lore, butano means " a gathering place for

friendly visits " (that's us!)

- 2,200 acres lie in a secluded redwood-filled canyon, described as a

" redwood rain forest "

- Only three miles from the coast, with many miles of hiking trails; some of

the park's trails offer views of the ocean.

- It has 21 drive-in campsites (car camping possible) and 18 walk-in

campsites. Restrooms with running water are provided. There are no showers.

- Butano is on the San Mateo Coast, off Highway One. Three miles northeast

of the Gazos Creek Coastal Access Point by way of Gazos Creek Road, and

about 4.5 miles southeast of Pescadero by way of the Pescadero and

Cloverdale Roads.

We haven't been there personally yet, but doesn't it sound nice?! Probably

in the next couple of weeks we'll do an exploratory visit/hike out that way.

Please write me privately if you've been to Butano before, or if you're

interested in joining us for the exploratory hike and/or vegan camping trip

Cheers,

Tammy & Chris
