You have been given this information because somebody trusted you. In the wrong hands, this information could cause our site to get shut down and force our gathering to move.

The staging ground of our gathering this year is at **********. Even though you may see people camping, this is not the gathering site! The site is still at least another mile [hopefully at least 2] to hike, and it is not recommended that you try to find us without a knowledgeable guide. Camping at the staging ground area is by permit only, but working homeless or semi-homeless people may sleep here. Beware of ice, violence, and theft. Do not leave your vehicle here for the duration of the gathering! Instead, get dropped off here or take the bus. When you arrive at the staging ground, don't go blabbing around about the gathering. Hang out by the water spigot, be peaceful and respectful to everybody, and wait for us to come for you. If we don't come by dark, you will have to discretely spend the night. If anybody asks, you are not camping, but waiting to be picked up, which is true. Good luck, and soon you will be
