October Knap-And-Camp at House Mountain
Come join us the weekend of October 9,10,11,2015 for the second annual House Mountain Knap-And-Camp near Lexington, Va.
As usual we'll be at the end of Bird Forest Road on the southern slopes of House Mountain in Rockbridge County, Va. 500 acres of field and forest await you with views of both Alleghenies and Blue Ridge. Hardwood ridges surround us and rise to the twin crests of House Mountain. We have a big log barn out of the sun and rain and plenty of room. Break rocks, swap tales, grow the flake pile. Shoot a bow, watch a hawk soar.
We have well water on site, multiple camping sites, porta-johns. Overnighters will want to bring food, there is refrigeration on site. The barn always sleeps a few folks. We have generously been provided this location by the owner and simply ask that guests treat the property as their own.
Standard advice to guests: no smoking inside the barn or house please, no illegal substances,pick up trash, dogs are OK if they are OK with other dogs and people.
The location for the Knap-In is easily accessed from Interstate 64 in Rockbridge County, Va., and from the town of Lexington. Directions from your map server should use the destination 1205 Bird Forest Road, Lexington, Virginia 24450. The actual Knap-In location is slightly downhill of 1205. Bird Forest Road is a cul-de-sac so you will find us.
