Pickle Party?

[Java]

We have a lot of new people and it would be cool to meet everyone. I was looking at trails and saw that pickle gulch has a huge group picnic area just before the trail head http://www.recreation.gov/campsiteFi...tefilter=GROUP PICNIC AREA&startIdx=0&contractCode=NRSO&parkId=70034 that we can buy a cheap permit for and have up to 150 people, more for 1.50 a head. Its a big area and Pickle Gulch is right there. Maybe a sunday in the next few weeks?

I've got some things lined up for August, but if I'm available, I'll bring a jar of pickles! (That's a fun trail). Great idea, Paul.

sure, and some people have church in the am or pm- I'm thinking a 1pm BYO lunch meetup followed by a run up Pickle gulch and out Apex, probably wrap the whole deal up by 4pm easily. I'll call them about a permit

Know Before You Go
Site

THIS SITE IS A DAY USE ONLY SITE
Fees for site 001A (Group Picnic) are calculated depending upon the number of people:
1-50 people = $80.00
51-100 people = $125.00
101-150 people = $170.00

max number of vehicles is 35 so that would probably be the limit on the run RSVP. I'd guess we'd be between 51 and 100 people? We can do a few $$ a vehicle to cover the permit, if there is a surplus is put it back into the site.

If its on a weekend I'm in, not really religious so I am free to get up there early for any set up.

that's awesome! re: the permit, I'm thinking the $125.00 permit for up to 100 people would do since the limit is 35 vehicles. what if everyone who RSVP'd yes donated $5.00 the way it's done now for the monthly stuff, and if we get 35 and there is a surplus it can go back into the site. Jim, is that doable?

Pickle Party = Sausage Party!
