It’s that time of year again. The leaves on the trees will soon be turning and Sierrans will be gathering for our annual campout and retreat. It will be held October 17-19 at that great spot, beautiful Cuivre River State Park! We will be housed at Camp Cuivre.
Cuivre River is one of the state’s largest and most pleasant parks, nestled in the Lincoln hills north of St. Louis. The karst geology and accompanying ecology makes it a good example of classic Central Missouri deciduous forest ecosystem. There is a restored prairie, an oak savannah, sinkholes, woodlands, and a clear, rock-bottomed stream. There are many miles of well-marked, easy hiking trails suitable for every level of adventure.
As always, we’ll have plenty of good food prepared by friendly fellow Sierrans. If you like to cook, feel free to volunteer to help. There will be special activities for kids, and indoor stuff to do in the event of less than perfect weather.
Send in the registration form with your check by September 15th and a packet will be sent to you with all the information you will need. Tent camping will be available on a first come first served basis. Hope to see you there!
