The 2010 Camp-out was a tremendous success. The weather cooperated, the food was great, and we didn't set the mountainside on fire. Thanks to all for joining us, whether you were camping, day visiting, or just stopping by to use our bitchin' bathroom/ shower facilities. Below are the first photos in no particular order. We will try to post more photos daily, so check back every few days.

Below are 2 photos of our
campsite taken aboard Terry's boat. In the photo below the canyon is to
the left of the bow of the boat. You may notice the large sand dunes in
the right in the picture, popular with tourists and exercise fanatics.
The campground is between the dunes and Pt Mugu on Pacific coast
Highway near the Ventura/LA County line.
Above is a closer photo. The campsite is just above the highway. The building you see at the end of the short road is a bathhouse. That's right, indoor plumbing, (No portapotties for the Caribou!)
