Experiencing our Wide Open Spaces
Sierra Celebration is the Lone Star Chapters annual celebration of the past years victories. This is our chance to hike, visit and sit around the campfire with other club members and volunteers. This year’s Sierra Celebration will take place the weekend of October 19th at beautiful MO-Ranch in Hunt, Texas. Mo-Ranch is located west of Kerrville. This is beautiful hill country on the north fork of the Guadalupe River. What more can you say!
Lodging: You can stay in the barn or camp out. The Moran Barn has bedrooms and bunkrooms with adjoining bathrooms, a large living area and kitchen. Rates for the barn are $59 per person (includes both nights). Campsites are $21 per night with a maximum of 8 people per site. Campsites have tent pads, picnic tables, grills, and running water.
Food: We will have a kitchen available in our quarters and will prepare breakfast, sack lunches, and dinner on a group effort and contribution/ prearranged basis. The cost for this will be $18/weekend. The meals will be vegetarian; iced tea and coffee will be served. Deborah and David will be spearheading this effort. Meals are also available at the dining hall with 2-week notice. Prices are 5,7, and 9 dollars for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Indicate which option you would like to go with on the registration form below.
Outings: On Saturday, October 20, we will be visiting the Kerr Wildlife Management Area. The staff biologist there will take us on a tour of the area. This outing will start at lunch and last into the afternoon. On Sunday, October 21, we will take day hikes in Lost Maples State Park. There are 475 acres on the ranch so there will be ample space for impromptu walks and hikes. Swimming, canoeing (free), and horseback riding ($15/half hour and $25/hour) on "secluded trails with spectacular views" are also available.
