Identification
Please have picture identification ready to show at the gate. THANK YOU!!
Food
There is no organised food preparation this year! You will need to bring (or arrange to share) all your own:
- Meals
- Snacks
- Coffee/Tea/Beverages
- Cooking equipment
Optional potluck plans:
Although we are not organizing and providing food for this event, sharing meals is something most of us look forward to. If you would like to participate in a potluck, feel free to use this shared spreadsheet for planning. There are two tabs for Saturday and Sunday dinners. More may be added more upon request. And please remember to write out the ingredients of your dish for those with allergies or other food limitations.
IMPORTANT! PLEASE NO anise, fennel or licorice — some people onsite are extremely allergic to these particular substances! Also, please no strong fragrances or scents.
Water
There is no drinking water at Crystal Creek! There are also no showers. Bring:
- 4l of drinking and cooking water per person per day
