Due to construction traffic on Whale Creek , the pizza party will be moved to the river at Wurtz, still on August 23 at 6:00pm. Turn east off the North Fork Road at the Wurtz cabin, go over the bridge and head for the river. Follow the signs to the party. We will try to get a spot for all of us by the river but, if there are too many campers, we will hold it on the old airstrip. Regardless, it will be fun and we hope to see you there.
As always, bring chairs, drinks, toppings, sauce or cheese to share. Oven & dough provided.
Please let your neighbors and friends know about the change.
