CONFERENCE SITE LAYOUT
As in past years, the Conference tents and day parking will be
located in the south part of the meadow at the Flagstaff Hotshot
Ranch. Access to this area is via an all-weather road but the
parking area is in the meadow and may be muddy if it rains. A
separate disabled parking area close to the tents
(also in the meadow) will be available ONLY for those vehicles
with official placards or license plates.
This year
camping will take place at the northeast end of the meadow. Tent
and car camping will occur along a loop road within the trees.
Those with low-clearance cars please follow signs and flagging
to avoid road sections that require high clearance. RV and trailer
camping will be along a two-track road on the edge of the meadow;
the ground in this area can be uneven so please check before you
pull off the road to park.
The camping
areas are somewhat removed from the conference tents this year,
but its a lovely walk through the meadow. A bicycle would
also be an excellent choice for commuting. Driving along the two-track
road between the camp area and the conference tents is NOT ALLOWED
due to a surface water line and two archaeology sites (barricades
will be set up to prevent driving).
