What Not to Bring
Drugs, alcohol, and weapons are prohibited
Pets
Balls and frisbees
Personal scented products (perfume, hair spray, scented lotions and soaps, etc)
Electronics (such as iPods, MP3 players, games, cell phones, etc)
Part of the concept at the lodge is to distance ourselves from electronics and gain a closer “presence” within the forest and landscape around us.
Enjoy the sights and sounds of nature.
* Note that time can be set aside for cell phone emergency use in a designated area.
For the safety of our groups and the environment, designated areas for smoking will be made available if needed.
