TENTATIVE DATES!

This camping foray takes place in the Sierras at the PiPi Valley campground off Highway 88, between Jackson and Kirkwood. It traditionally takes place on the first weekend of May, or as soon as the snow has melted. For this reason the date is somewhat flexible, so stay tuned for updates. We usually find either morels, Spring King boletes, or both, and often coccoras. The campground is gorgeous with the Consumes River running through it...
