Owner’s Campout 2020

SLIGHTLY UNORTHODOX, PHYSICALLY DISTANT SOCIALIZING VERSION 2.0

(Updates on the Facebook page)

Check out the video below, this is a dispersed camping area outside of Crested Butte, Colorado that I checked out the other weekend. It has space for as many of us as can attend, appears to usually have a porta-potty, and has wonderful views of the valley below.

Our new event is free, and is a bit unorthodox as far as event organization goes. We cannot guarantee site availability, as such we ask that anyone interesting in attending be understanding and prepared to find your own camping accommodations should this location not work out as we hope.

I plan to arrive there with as many ground tents, traffic cones, and folding tables as I can muster in an effort to “secure” camp sites for anyone who will be coming. As such, I ask that if you are planning to attend, get yourself a free ticket on the link below so I know how many to aim for. This spot seems to fill up on Fridays mostly, so if you are able to arrive on Thursday (or earlier) that is encouraged!

Dates:

August 21-24, early arrival encouraged

Location:

West Pearl Pass Rd, Crested Butte, CO 81224

38°53’49.0″N 106°53’06.6″W

Reservations:

See below

(ok not actual reservations, we’d just like to know who to expect)

Key Notes:

• Potluck is cancelled, but everyone is open to doing one if we collectively feel it can be done safely.

• No food & drink are provided

• Porta-potty usually on site, all attendees must be prepared to adhere to leave no trace policies.

• Hopefully there won’t be a fire ban…

• Camp site is not guaranteed, be prepared to locate your own site if this location is filled.

  • Please be prepared to wing it for camping accommodations, we will do the very best we can to find you a spot, but part of the reason we’re structuring this as a free event is so if this location falls through… hopefully you won’t be too disappointed in us. We really want to see all of you again, so join if you’re ready for a possible adventure!

COVID preparedness:

• We’re trying to design a freestanding touch-free hot water hand washing station that we can bring to help facilitate cleanliness while we’re all hanging out together.

• We’re proceeding under the assumption that we won’t be doing a potluck, if there’s enough interest and everyone feels it can be done safely, we’re absolutely open to that.

• If you are sick or symptomatic, please stay home, we want you to feel better soon!

• Masks and distancing are recommended.
