I am about to get the details out on the web page - by monday for
sure. Check http://www.mixweb.com/nativewater on monday. There will
be a map there and itinerary.
No, there will be no open vilification of anyone, however, jet skis
and other motorized craft will not be welcome. The gathering is
on a lake, fairly remote. Bring bug spray. I will also have info
on money by Monday - We are asking a fee of $15 to cover administrative
costs. However, people just showing up will not be turned away.
Camping is available on the grounds. There is also a motel in town.
We will have a few workshops on building and paddling and you
will be able to try out most of the boats up there.
