Come join us for Laura Prescott’s birthday!!! We will start at the corner of 89 and Blue Lakes Rd. There is a large parking lot with bathrooms on the left. I won't be handing out a route sheet since it's just the one road (Blue Lakes Rd.). There may or may not be potable water at the camp ground, but the out-and-back is only 25 miles, so you can keep extra supplies in your car if you want to do 2 out-and-backs like I plan to do. Since this isn't a through road, there will be less traffic, and you may be able to avoid the construction on I 80 getting there. Also, it will be in the low 80s there while it will be in the 100s that day in the valley and hills.
