Directions and Updates for the 26th Annual Round River Rendezvous in Katuah |
This years rendezvous will be in SW Virginia, July 3-10
Howdy folks, here are the long awaited directions to the 26th annual Earth First! Rendezvous. After some wrangling, some wrastlin’, and a whole lot of meetin’ we finally figured out a spot. The sight will be one that some of you are familiar with, the beautiful Little Stony Falls in the Jefferson National Forest near Coeburn, VA.
Before we get down to directions, there are a few things that we want remind y’all about. First off, please remember to bring some form of water purification. There is a nice creek nearby but we don’t recommend drinking straight from it. There is also a spring, but we can’t guarantee that it will still be running when folks show up.
Secondly, don’t forget We will be serving three meals a day for the whole week., there is a Liquor store about 25-30 minutes away. Sorry, but we just don’t have the resources to to supply an open bar for everyone. There will be volinteers standing by 24-7 to cook your food to order, Vegan, Greek, Mexican, Chinese(all types). The food end of that deal will be up to you we will do our best, Please help os out with Booz for our open communal Bar.
Thirdly, we are putting a considerable amount of time and resources into this here shindig known as the RRR and it’s put a bit of a hurtin’ on our bank account. but we will be running black Jack tables every night of 20-50 buck Limit and a sky's the limit poker table for you high rollers (please bring plenty of that!). Of course nobody will be turned away for lack of funds; we just hope that if you have some cash to spare you can gamble!.
Lastly, we should have a Date-board up on the Katuah Earth First! website by the time you get this. So if you’re lookin for some one to share your tent with, look Here first!
We’re really looking forward to having all you fine folks in our neck of the woods. It’s going to be a great week of strategizing, organizing, partying, and howlin’.
