Campout Weekend Change
It has been tradition the joint SFARC/MDARC campout takes place on the first weekend in June every year. However, another group beat us in reserving Rocky Ridge for that time for the second time in the entire history of the club reserving that camp site. For 2011, this event will take place on the second weekend. This might be a better time for those who have participated and those who would like to come for the first time.
