2. Campfires

• Fire Safety: Fires are only permitted in designated fire rings or portable fire pits. Never leave a fire unattended, and ensure it is fully extinguished before leaving.
• Firewood: Use only locally sourced firewood or downed wood on the property to prevent the spread of invasive species. Do not cut or damage any trees or vegetation on the property.

9. VEHICLE ACCESS AND PARKING (5 mph while on the property)

• *Risk and Responsibility: By accessing the property, you acknowledge and agree that the owner is not liable for any damage of any kind to your vehicle while on the property, including but not limited to, while using the logging trails. You assume full responsibility for your vehicle and any risks associated with driving on these natural, unimproved paths. All vehicle use on the property is entirely at your own risk, and the owner shall not be held responsible for any incidents or damages that may occur.
• Easy Parking Areas: Vehicles can park along the road in designated areas within the gates and pack to their site. Please ensure you park safely and avoid blocking the road for other guests.
• Caution on Logging Trails: If you would like to drop your gear at your site and then park in designated parking. Please use caution and remember the logging trails serve as biking and walking paths. Please drive cautiously when using these trails to reach your campsite for drop-off. We make every effort to maintain them, but driving on them is at your own risk.
• 4×4 Vehicles: If you have a 4×4, you may drive closer to the campgrounds and park in designated areas. These areas are marked to minimize impact on the trails and natural environment.
• Overland Self-Contained Campers: Overland self-contained campers are welcome to camp in any suitable location on the property. We show great areas on the map, if your more aventurous go for it, but parking will be tough. Please choose a spot that minimizes environmental impact and does not block logging roads or trails.

10. Respect Other Campers

• Privacy: Respect the privacy of other campers. Do not enter another campsite without permission.
• Shared Spaces: Be courteous in shared spaces, such as trails and fire pits, and clean up after yourself.

11. Weather Awareness

• Stay Informed: Weather in the hills can change rapidly. Be prepared for sudden weather changes and plan accordingly.
• Lightning Safety: In the event of a thunderstorm, avoid open areas and seek shelter away from tall trees.
