Essential Camp Information
- If you have never been to Mendocino Woodlands, we advise that you plan to arrive before dark.
Sunset on November 9 is at 5:05 PM. Well before sunset, it's dark in many parts of camp because of the dense redwood canopy alongside Little North Fork of Big river where Mendocino Woodlands is located.

The website is PrepaTrip.com and is very user friendly and the easiest car-pool organizing site I have ever seen.
Good luck, and see you all in camp.
