Please note, we have moved the May 7 event (Sunday) to Oconee State Park. Oconee SP is just 30 minutes farther than Tugaloo, up in the SC foothills. We have not been to Oconee SP in over six years, so it will be like a brand new map for you! With any luck, the mountain laurel will be in bloom when we are there.

Further note that the park has a $5 entry fee per person. If you have correct change pay at the unmanned kiosk. Otherwise pay at the visitor center.

We will be headquartered at Picnic Shelter #4.
