Far Flung Adventure Fest : 40 Years and Counting. November 9-14, 2017
This first ever annual event will bring old friends together after umpteen years, and new friends together for the first time. Far Flung Adventures was more than a business, it was a way of life, a cultural phenomenon that changed the course of history.
The main event is the 3 day river trip on Sunday November 12-Tuesday November 14. If you have not signed up yet, please do so now. It is a river trip; they haven’t changed that much. Meet at 9, drive to the put in, float, eat, play music, sleep, repeat. Food will be provided for dinner and breakfast and everyone provides their own lunches. We anticipate a fee of up to $250 per person, depending on how much gear and vehicles are being provided. This helps cover portable toilets at the event site, garbage pick up, camping fees, PA rental, rentals of tables, chairs, etc. Funds collected in excess of expenses will be dedicated to legal resistance to the Border Wall.
