Second
Annual Northwoods Foray
at Lost Lake State Park, Wisconsin
Friday,
July 23-Sunday, the 25th, 2010
Foray Leader: Britt Bunyard |
This
year, the WMS has secured the Little Pine Motel and Resort, Hwy 32 in Hiles, WI
(phone 888-541-4150) as our home base. Other accommodations can be found
in Iron River, MI (about 30 min from foray site) or you may wish to camp at Lost
Lake (first come first served—it is strongly recommended that you arrive
by mid day Friday to secure a spot). Chanterelle Lake (Lost Lake) is about
250 miles north of Milwaukee, around 4.5 hours drive.
Foray goers should
plan to arrive Friday afternoon or evening, for check in. Potluck dinner and cocktails
(BYO) for early arrivals around the campfire. Saturday morning will be potluck
breakfast (coffee and tea provided) on picnic tables followed by a morning foray.
Likewise, following a potluck lunch, there will be afternoon foraying for the
hardy…others may want to beat the heat in the lake. Following the afternoon
foray, we will have our banquet, included with your registration fees. |
Fees
Fee for the Foray is pretty simple. The WMS is not paying for this,
only those attending the Foray. Fees cover Saturday dinner, lectures, morning
coffee/tea. Foray goers must secure they’re own lodging arrangements (but
this allows you to be more flexible according to needs, costs and whether you
prefer to camp or not). $20.00 / person (10yrs old and
up) for Saturday nite dinner & guest lecturer |

questions or registration contact:
Britt Bunyard at 262.677.0876 (phone);
