openings on Vegan Snow Lodge Trip Jan 1st-3rd !!

[Guest guest]

Hi folks,

 

Wow, there are two openings on this trip due to last minute cancellations!

This trip filled up pretty quick so this is a great opportunity for two

people. Please see the original email (back in October!) for more trip

info. The trip has since been extended to include Thursday night as well,

so it is 3 days/2 nights.

 

Personally, our Bay Area Veg trips are wonderful opportunities for people

who love vegan food and really want to connect with new and old veg friends.

And this time there is snow involved! On previous *camping* trips, we had

really great food (see http://www.bayareaveg.org/gallery/butano03 for

details) while cooking outdoors with camping stoves. Since there is a

proper kitchen, it will be a lot easier. Note: you don't need to be veg to

attend this trip, although all food on the trip is vegan.

 

So please contact Joanna and Mike if you want to attend, email:

ouzel, and tell them:

1) number of people (1 or 2)

2) what city you will be leaving from

3) if you need or can offer transportation to someone else (at this stage, I

think if you need a ride, it may be difficult to coordinate)

 

I am posting for them because they are abroad on holiday.

 

Please contact Joanna and Mike at this email address through Sunday:

 

ouzel

 

Cheers,

Tammy

[sfBAVeg] Vegan Snow Lodge Trip 2nd/3rd January 2004

 

 

 

 

Hello fellow vegan campers!

 

You may already have seen our earlier post about the " vegan snow lodge trip "

to Hutchinson Hut in the Sierras that Mike and I are organizing. I am

writing again because we now have a firm date for this outing which is the

weekend of Friday and Saturday, January 2nd and 3rd 2004. We have reserved

Hutchinson Hut for those 2 nights and now we just need to fill it with

fellow vegans!

 

Here is the link to Hutchinson Hut

http://www.sierraclub.org/outings/lodges/huts/hutchinson.asp As you will

see, it is a beautiful, rustic lodge nestling in the spectacularly scenic

Sierras near Donner Pass Road/Donner Summit off Highway 80. It holds a

maximum of 20 people and has a large living room, a well-equipped kitchen,

two loft sleeping areas, two wood stoves, a shower, two toilets and a

sauna!! Mike and I did a " work weekend " with the Sierra Club at their

neighbouring Clair Tappan Lodge last year, which involved hauling great

quanities of firewood into the Hutchinson Hut woodshed! Ever since then, we

have wanted to go back there with a great group of people to enjoy the snow

and use some of that firewood!! So, if the idea of kicking off the New Year

with a weekend of frolicking in the snow and chowing down on some great

vegan vittals sounds appealing, then please email us for further details!

 

The cost of the trip is $14 per person per night (+ 11% tax) + food costs.

All meals will be communal vegan meals and the menu will be decided upon by

us all in advance of the trip. Food will be purchased by a couple of

designated shoppers and the receipts will be tallied up and split between

us. Based on previous camping trips, we estimate that food will work out at

approximately $30 a head for the whole weekend.

 

Many of you who have already been on the various vegan camping trips

organized by this group over the past couple of years will know that these

outings are a really special experience and a lot of fun! It is a great way

to meet new vegan/vegetarian friends, not to mention the delicious vegan

food that is served! So, get your snowshoes on and come join us!
