[Seattle Go Center] Marble Creek Campout Aug 23 - 26

Dear Go Players,

For a second year, Go players will be car camping in a beautiful rustic Forest Service campground in the North Cascades, along the Cascade River.  Deborah and I have reserved two camp spots from Thursday, Aug 23 to Sunday, Aug 26.   The campsites can be reserved 6 months ahead, starting at 7 a.m. Pacific time, so this weekend has just become available.  We encourage other Go players to make reservations soon.  (We will try for Sunday night, Aug 26 as well, but that night is not available until Monday Feb. 26 at 7:00 a.m.) The sites cost $14 a night, plus a $10 fee for each reservation.

The campground is the Marble Creek Campground, which is about a half hour from Marblemount, WA on Rt. 20.  Marblemount has some groceries and a couple of restaurants, and espresso.  The campsite is about 2.5 hours from Seattle.  The campground does not have potable water, and it only has pit toilets.  The area has lots of excellent hiking, some of it quite rugged.  Last year we had three couples camping (one with a small RV, one with a big tent, and one with a mountain tent).  We ate a lot of pie, and played some Go.  Let’s do it again!  Campsite reservations go fast, so make your plans now!  If you have extra space at your campsite, I’m sure we can find more Go players later on.

Cheers,

Brian
