Summer Rim Rock Picnic/hike

On Sunday June 22nd, we will be doing a Rim Rock Picnic, and Hike on this, the second day of summer.

We hope this one will be bigger than our regular Sunday meet-ups. Some of us will camp out Saturday night nearby, and perhaps even Sunday night.

On of our goals of this picnic/meetup, will be to circulate information about the impending oil well
drilling at Rim Rock, and we will have petitions to sign if you are
opposed to ruining this Crown Jewel of the ANF (as well as the nearby
Morrison Run area).

The petitions will be sent to our elected officials and the personnel
at the ANF who we hope will understand the public does not want Rim
Rock drilled for oil and gas.

This will be an informal picnic, for like minded individuals.
Friends of Rim Rock will be joined by the Allegheny Outdoor Adventure
Group, the Alleghey Defense Project, the Tionesta Snowmobile Club and
others, to discuss plans to stop the drilling at Rim Rock.

Besides an all day, fun picnic, we will also hand out fliers to
visitors, provide petitions to be signed, do a hike through the rock
area seeing all the main attractions, visit a geocache and perhaps
place one or two new ones, and maybe we will have the rappelling line
set up for those interested. And if you play a musical instrument,
bring it! We may have some music provided.

If you have been to any of our past picnics, you know they are fun,
and informative! It's a great group of friendly people, often sharing valuable information,
exciting or funny stories and sometimes great home-made food.

You will need to bring your own food and drinks and perhaps a dish to
pass if you wish, your own folding chairs, and maybe a folding table
if you have one.

We will meet in the second parking lot at Rim Rock (where we normally
meet) at 11AM Sunday June 22nd. We will likely stay most of the day
until about 4PM or so.

Some of us may meet up and camp out Saturday night (nearby) and Sunday night. If
you are interested e-mail me for more information Join us one or two
nights for a real fun time, or just come out Sunday for our "Big Summer Rim Rock Picnic".

Please join us on Sunday for this very important Picnic. We need to
get as many people informed about the plans to drill this Crown Jewel
of the ANF, and let the forestry know the public wants them to do
their job and protect this for future generations to enjoy.

Mark this on you calendar and bring as many friends as you can!
