Base

• You are welcome to bring something for your “rock sitter” to sit on. I will bring some rocks and I have pieces of branch about 2” – 3” high that work well. If you’d like, bring a rock of your own or a wooden box or something else you like. I had a lady bring an antler last spring. https://bit.ly/RSAntler

Facility provides:

Water for wash basins

Outlets for hair dryers. I have 10, but that might overload your circuits. We can share.

Rinse water is disposed of outside not down the drain – let me know if that’s not possible and I will bring a couple of discard pails.
