| Bandido 08 - A 3 day, 2 night adventure party! |
| Your Hosts invite you to escape the holiday crowds and come join us for some daytime recreation and nighttime partying this 4th of July weekend. We've secured Bandido Group campground which is right in our own back yard - The Angeles National Forest. This means no traffic or long drives (Whoo Hoo!). This is our 3rd event at Bandido and those who've joined us before know they can expect good times without worrying about sobriety checkpoints! Day Activities Bandido group campground is a great place for “chillaxing”, taking in the views or just enjoying a much needed snooze. If you want something more, the Angeles National Forest offers all sorts of outdoor adventure opportunities including Rock Climbing, Hiking, Mountain Biking, Canyoneering, and Trail Running. You must provide your own gear for these activities. So buy, borrow or rent those goodies. Fireworks Friday night there will be a scheduled drive / hike to a peak to watch the fireworks down on the city skyline. Do not bring any fireworks into the forest! Hiking There *may* be a one or two scheduled hikes Friday and Saturday morning. More info as we get closer to that weekend. If anyone wants to lead a hike or two please let us know. Rock Climbing / Bouldering Close to our campground there's Horse Flats climbing wall. There *may* be a few top ropes set up ranging from 5.7 to 5.10. We're in need of people to help set up some top ropes so please let us know if you’d like to help. *may* = this is a do-ocracy, please help us by leading a hike, mountain bike or climb. We'll be happy to set up a schedule of events at the “ dome” for people to post, sign up and meet up. Let’s all be SAFE, do not explore on your own especially when you are unprepared and unfamiliar with the area! Please be considerate, we do not want to send search and rescue after you guys!
