Vegan Redwoods Retreat - Gourmet Camping Butano State Park, Pescadero Cost:

$60

This is our 5th Annual trip to this lovely redwood forest on the coast; " Butano

State Park is a 3,200-acre redwood park in the Santa Cruz Mountains, featuring

excellent hiking through the redwood groves. Only three miles from the coast,

the park's trails offer views of the ocean. " It is approx. 1 hour south of SF.

Last year's trip was an excellent feast of good food, conversation, and

community; see the photo album for some pics.

Our trips are reknown for being gourmet outdoor feasts - we make wonderful vegan

meals in camps, and the participants decide what we are making. If you're not a

cook, don't worry, there's room for folks to help with prep or simply clean-up

afterwards.

The trip is Labor Day weekend, starting with Saturday afternoon and ending on

Monday. The cost of the trip is about $60 which includes mostly organic foods

for breakfast, lunch, dinner, as well as campsite space. If french toast with

soy sausages and fruit salad sound like your idea of a good breakfast, you'll

definitely enjoy camping and eating with this crowd.

This is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, hike under beautiful

redwoods, learn more about vegan cooking, and share a leisurely weekend with

like-minded folks.

I'd personally like to especially encourage folks who are new or aspiring vegans

or activists to join us, as promoting veganism and promoting vegan advocacy

underlies all of the events and activities that BAVEG volunteers organize.

We've got a handful of spots open, so if you're interested, please email me with

a bit more about yourself and let me know what questions you have about the

trip. Preference will be given to folks who are team players and have ideas

and/or energy to contribute to the trip, leadership quality and love of good

vegan eating as far as organizing a food team, and people who will participate

for the entire trip (not just one day).
