FINAL INSTRUCTIONS

We are looking forward to welcoming you to the Openly Campout! If you haven't paid yet DO IT NOW!
Please take a few moments to thoroughly read this email so you know the whole scoop and don't ask stupid questions or make stupid mistakes :)

LOCATION
The location of the campout is 1005 Hawks Hill Rd Scotts Valley, CA 95066 Directions can be found at http://goldway.com/directions.html and an aerial map of the location can be seen here (click on it to see bigger version):



If you haven't paid and registered in advance, you are still welcome to attend. We have saved a few spots left for fashionable latecomers. But if in doubt, just PAY IN ADVANCE-that solves everything!

ARRIVAL TIME
Please arrive either Friday 6-11pm or Saturday 12pm-11pm to be registered and greeted. Arriving outside these hours will cause confusion and upset, unless pre-arranged. Arrive during daylight if you can. The road in is windy and confusing.

WHAT TO BRING
A small tent (camping space is limited, if you only have a large tent then bring some roommates!)
A cup, a plate and eating utensils (let's avoid the wasteful disposable option)
Snacks and booze to share (meals are provided)
Sensible shoes
Costumes
Your PAL (YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO ATTEND THIS EVENT UNACCOMPANIED. YOU WILL BE TURNED AROUND AND SENT HOME IF YOU ARRIVE ALONE)

THINGS WE STILL NEED TO FIND (let us know if you can help)
20'x30' communal structure for the chill space. Got any ideas?
Old carpets for Sanctuary and chill space.
Table for communal altar

THINGS TO NOTE
Costumes make everything better
People might be naked
High heels are a bad idea, unless lying down
No Children or dogs
Please respect the neighbors and stay off their property
Be aware of poison oak and stay on trails
You will NOT be able to camp with your car. Parking is a 2 minute walk up the hill.

THE PAL SYSTEM
At this event, more than ever, be careful about the PAL you choose. You will be held responsible if they are out of line, so come with someone you trust.

SEX POSITIVITY
This will be a sex positive space, but not a sex focused space. Knowing our crowd, there will be doinking and spanking and love-making and explorations (and probably some poly processing) , but NO expectation and no guarantees.

PARTICIPATING
Every single person who comes to this event will be volunteering their time and energy to make it happen. Whether your offering is creative or practical, you are an integral part of the event.

FIRE
Open flame is allowed only in the fire rings provided (no candles, lanterns or camp stoves)
Fire toys are allowed only on the dance floor area or in the upper gathering area.
Please don't burn anything that will send embers floating away such as paper or bras.

WATER
There is running water in the kitchen area and there are two pit toilets.

MEALS
You will be fed on Friday evening, Saturday morning, Saturday evening and Sunday morning. If you want to snack in between feel free to bring snackage. And don't forget to bring booze, if you want a drink. We will not be providing ANY alcohol.

R.E.S.P.E.C.T
Please take care of each other and respect each others boundaries. No unwanted touching, leering, or sexual come-ons. If you hear "no", please don't ask again. If somebody is bothering you, please let the camparound host know immediately.

LEAVE NO TRACE
This is a Leave No Trace event. We do not have trash collection, so anything you leave behind we have to pay to dump. So please take home everything you bring with you, including beer bottles, food wrappers, and drunken friends.

PARKING
When you arrive, greeters will show you where to park. Please don't try and figure it out on your own. We will have a shuttle vehicle available to move people and gear from their parked vehicles to the camp ground. Please place your name on a note and place it inside the windshield of your vehicle. If you're blocking someone, it'll be easier to figure out how to get it moved. If you think you'll need to leave after dark, park with your vehicle pointed in the exit direction. Turning around on that narrow road is a bitch in the dark.
