Join me for some fun Pioneer Camping for Labor Day Weekend! Payment is due on May 10th or upon registration after that date but I encourage early payment to guarantee attendance. Located between Atlanta and Athens, Fort Yargo features a 1792 log fort built by settlers for protection against Creek and Cherokee Indians. Today, visitors come to Fort Yargo for its wide variety of outdoor recreation and scenery. Mountain bikers and hikers can test their endurance on 21 miles of trails. A 260-acre lake offers a large swimming beach, fishing and boat ramps. The park’s wooded disc golf course is exceptionally challenging. The site is located by itself. It has water but no electricity, fire rings, and pit toilets. The area has two Adirondack shelters, a picnic shelter, and horseshoe pit. It is located in large wooded area approximately 100 yards from the lake and hiking trails. Swimming, mini golf, boat and kayak rentals are short walks by trail to beach area which now opened to the public. There are also civilized bathrooms a stone throw away (60-80 yards) from the camp site. Since this event is coinciding with a public holiday I'm making this a three nights event. Come for one or all three nights, come at the beginning, middle or the end, it matters not. Beginning Friday afternoon, we will arrive and set up camp (feel free to arrive anytime after 1pm). Dinner will be around 7pm, and we can enjoy the rest of the evening getting to know each other. Saturday, after breakfast, we will do an area hike (probably a D3) and then the rest of the day is on your own. Sunday can be spent similarly or as you wish. Kayaking (bring your own or rent at the park), paddle boarding, card and/or board games, bocce ball, watching grass grow, naps, or juggling are all excellent ways to pass the time. Later, we'll have dinner and then we can relax around the fire. Monday, after a light breakfast, we will pack for home. The cost to attend this event is $25/person ($5 per registrant will go to AOC
