    Like Camping? Lighting Lanterns? Like Camp Cooking? Come on out and join us for a Coleman themed GPA campout on the Northern California Coast this August.

    PM me for details.

    Update 5/8/2023. Filling in pretty quickly. There is somewhat limited space in the main group camp, but overflow camping available in the main camp area.

    Largest Gathering I've been to so far. Long drive, especially coming home in 90F/35C heat for Repo. 7AM start didn't help except first few hours of driving for him. 295 miles coming back. A few others had a longer drive.

    Looks like it was a grand event, and very well attended! Our longest drive was to the one and only OSG (Oregon Stove Gathering). Took two days to drive up there, and it was 784 miles, each way! We stayed a night in Reno, NV going up, and I can't recall where we stayed on the way back, after the event. For our Living History hobby, the longest drive we ever did was to Fort DeChartres, IL, and that one was 1,529 miles, each way! Great events are worth attending, even if they take a bit of time to get to them!! Congrats to Randy, Duane, and all that attended the big Lantern Gathering! Well done! Cheers, and God Bless!

    Send me a PM and I can start a notification list for Nor Cal gatherings.
    I’ve always wanted to do this and just haven’t taken initiative.
