Twin Bears is located mile 30 CHS road. We have the camp from 1 PM Saturday to noon on Sunday.
-There is no water available at the camp in the winter, please bring what you need and if you are staying the night, bring some to share and for cooking/cleaning.
-My understanding is that there are cooking facilities and equipment with propane provided. ASPA will have hot chocolate and some snacks in the kitchen building. I will get more details on Thursday when I pick up the keys.
-There are wood stoves in at least two buildings. We have to provide the firewood. If you are staying the night, please bring at least one tote of firewood, other contributions welcome!
-BYOTP is never a bad idea.
A few people have responded about spending the night and coming out for the day. Definitely let me know if you want to stay the night and we can plan a dinner and/or breakfast together. It would also be nice to know if you think you’d like to visit in the day, though you are welcome to decide last-minute. Questions or RSVP to stabbert@hotmail.com or call 479 0456.
We will not be planning your adventure so make sure you are traveling safely on the trails while you are out there. I will be out skiing myself in the afternoon but I’ll leave a sign-in sheet in the dining hall so we have an idea of who is out there and what the trip plans might be. You are on your own. Skiers without dogs are welcome! Remember these are multi-use trails and be ready to encounter anyone doing just about anything.
Here are a couple of sources for trail ideas –
