Date: Sat May 21, 12:00 PM PST - Sun May 22, 12:00 PM PST
4.5 miles each way (or 1.5 mile shorter option)
The hike: Starts out on a dirt road, turns off after 0.7 miles and then follows the Upper North Fork of Matilija creek. Both the upper and lower camps are at nice shady spots along the creek. We'll pack a lunch, and cook our dinner and breakfast, and filter water from the creek to drink. This camp does not have an outhouse, so we'll learn how to go behind a bush.
Gear: Borrow a pack, tent, sleeping bag & sleeping pad for free!
