AHBAO CAMP OUT/TRAIL RIDE/BBQ – August 6-7-8-9

Check in 4 PM Thursday – August 6, Check out by 1 PM on Sunday – August 9^th.

L.L. “Stub” Stewart State Park – Hares Canyon Horse Camp will be the place to be for this 38^th annual club event. This will be our first year with full hookups, flush toilets, hot showers, phone, vending machines, camp host and a paved road all the way! Yet the camp is located way back from everyone else and it seems like you are many miles from civilization! The club has reserved 7 sites. Some of the sites have been reserved, so check with Bev Nadeau or Kathy Nelsen to see what is still available. A couple sites are set up for two camping units and have 6 corrals. Each evening we have a big campfire. Everyone is invited to join in.

Clayhill Horse Staging, right next to the camping area, is available with plenty of room for the day riders. The park has trails for every level of rider. They are well marked. The 21 mile Banks-Vernonia State Trail, which is an old rail road bed, goes thru the park for 3.5 miles. Even if you don’t bring a horse, you may want to use the beautiful, paved bike and hiking trails. The views from some of the trails are breath taking. Bring your camera!

What's cookin'? Saturday about 3 PM we will have something to eat. Potluck salad, beans, snacks, dessert are welcome! Sunday morning, before we all head for home, breakfast will be served. Refreshments will be furnished for all meals.
