Launch by 10am with loaded boats. Final meeting time and place may be modified based on conditions: e.g. in the protected nook just south of the jetty.

The leader has reserved two camp sites at Mora Campground (near La Push) on Thursday July 13^th and participants can arrive late the night before the trip.

GOALS:
Have fun safely exploring these dynamic waters.
Paddle together in a cohesive group, to insure CLAP (Communication, Line of Sight, Avoidance, Position of most effectiveness).
Participate in group decision and abide by decisions.

 COST:
Permits and shared camping costs about $22-30.  Purchase of permits (Olympic National Park Wilderness Permit is $8/per person per night) will be made in May, close to the trip date. My plan is to spend two nights camping at Toleak Point. The permits do need to be made in advance so there is a risk the cost would be forfeited if the weather is not conducive to this trip.
