and five gallons of water.  All food will be provided for the

very limited, so you MUST register.

General Details and Logistics:
The goal is to explore sound in this large, open space.  There will  
be approximately 50-60 people in attendance for the weekend.  Meals  
are going to be prepared collectively.  The camp is centered around a  
series of boulders and Joshua trees with a natural amphitheater  
living room and an adjoining stone kitchen.  There are many sites to  
set up your tents or to simply lay down your sleeping roll.

Food:
Meals are going to be eaten family style and made from crops grown by  
Southern California farmers.  Due to the broad ranging dietary needs  
of people we are going to eat non-processed vegetarian.  If you have  
any special diets/allergies do not hesitate to tell us (we can cater  
to any specific need).  All food will be provided.

Instruments:
We are going to have three semi-structured activity times over the  
course of the weekend where we will explore sound.  No special  
instruments are needed.

Sleeping:
Nights at this time of year are generally warm enough to not need a  
tent. However,  it would be a good idea to bring one in case a cold  
spell comes through.  Bring a sleeping bag.

Eating:
We will be eating large meals together so we ask everyone to bring  
their favorite bowl, cutlery, drinking cup, and cloth napkins or hand  
towels.

Drinking:
Each person should bring five (5) gallons of water (preferably in a  
single reusable container).  This water will be used for drinking,  
food preparing, cooking, and washing.  Also, please bring your own  
beverages (beer, etc…).

Weather Protection:
We will be outdoors from Saturday morning until we leave camp Sunday  
afternoon.  Please bring big hats, strong sunscreen, and sunglasses.  
We highly advise lightweight, loose fitting, long sleeve shirts and  
pants.  The weekend is designed to take advantage of the natural path  
of shade provided by the boulders, but please anticipate the  
harshness of living in the desert for two days.  Also, please note  
that nights in the high desert can get cold, so bring something warm  
just in case.

Pre-requisites:
The weekend is open to anyone. No musical or camping experience is  
needed.  We anticipate a wide age group from two year olds to seventy  
year olds.  Expect musicians, farmers, doctors, dancers, medics,  
laborers, writers, bankers, and any other sound camping enthusiasts  
you know.

Driving:
Even we get lost driving to the location, so we will need to go in a  
single caravan.  Due to space limitations we need to limit the cars  
driven into the site to approximately one dozen.  We hope to pack 4-5  
people into each car for the final drive to the site.  We are happy  
to help organize carpooling from Los Angeles and coordinate the  
caravan from Yucca Valley through Pioneertown and up the dirt roads  
leading to the site.

Registration:
Registration will be a two step procedure:

1.  After 8pm on April 9 you can send a registration request with the  
names and number in your group.

2.  We will then send you a confirmation email with a link to Pay-pal  
where you can make your payment of $25 per person.  This registration  
fee covers the logistics of the weekend’s food.

Only after you have successfully registered via Pay-pal are you  
officially signed up.  With current interest levels we anticipate  
space filling up very quickly, so please send your request promptly.

We encourage you to email us if you are interested in attending.  Pre- 
emailing will NOT guarantee a space, but it will put you on a  
reminder email list.




Please email mp at RoutesAndMethods.org if you have any questions and to  
add yourself to the reminder list.
