· The Island Tour Drive will leave from Rick and Val’s camp at 1pm Sharp. Drive will last 1.5 to 2 hours depending upon length and number of stops. Plans are to stop at a local farm store that sells cheese, chocolate and the like. Also it has been suggested that we stop at St. Anne’s Shrine which has great frontage on the water. Other places to stop can be discussed the day of the event. It is important to observe local speed limits. Sorry- no “spirited” driving here. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride!
· The BBQ will begin around 3pm. Meat and non-alcoholic punch will be provided. Please bring a dish/salad/desert to share with others. BYOB.
· Rick and Val have 46’ of beach front on Keeler bay so feel free to bring swim suits, towels, kayaks or canoes. Some chairs are available, but if you have room please bring your favorite lawn chair.
· Free overnight camping on the property is available. Bring your own tent. Nobody will be thrown out after dark. If the weather cooperates there could be a bonfire on the beach at night.
· There are many places to stay locally if you want to stay overnight in the area but don’t feel like camping. Rick and Val also have a couple of beds in their camp. Contact info for a few places below.
