[Raymond Zentz]

Just one question regarding the prohibition of fire. Does this include charcoal in above-ground firepits? My Lady would like to know...

Site name and location: Mink Creek Group Site Campground, Caribou-Targhee 
ational Forest, Idaho, located 12 miles south of Pocatello, Idaho. The road to 
he campground is paved. 
Directions to Site: Take exit 63 off I-15, south of Pocatello. Follow the white 
n brown "Mink Creek Recreation Area" signs to Bannock Highway (Two miles), turn 
outh (left) up Mink Creek Canyon. Go 7 miles south on Bannock highway (past 
annock Guard Station) to Mink Creek Group Site Campground. There will be signs. 
 map can be found here: http://www.reserveamerica.com/camping/map_of_Mink_Creek_Group_Site_Campgrou_Id/r/generateBrowseMap.do?topTabIndex=CampgroundMap&map=PARK&parkId=73920&contractCode=NRSO
Google maps will lead you to the site by entering the address "3248 S Mink Creek 
d, Pocatello, ID 83204" in the "Get Directions" option of that website. It is 
est if you pretend you are coming from the North or South (such as Salt Lake or 
daho Falls) since Google Maps likes to try and route people from the West (such 
s Boise and Twin Falls) through Pocatello, which is NOT the best route. The 
est route is to stick to the freeway as much as possible until exiting at exit 
3 off I-15. After leaving the freeway when driving to the site, keep an eye out 
or brown signs with white lettering indicating "Mink Creek Recreation Area." 
ollowing these signs will lead you directly to the site.
Cellphone service is limited. I can't say what company will have coverage and 
hich will not, but assume you won't have coverage and plan accordingly. 
owever, you don't have to drive very far back toward Pocatello before you get 
overage again.
While the days will be very pleasant, (forecasts indicate a high of the mid-70s 
nd partly cloudy) the temperature will drop significantly at night. (Weather 
ervice estimates the 40s) Please pack accordingly.
There will be a firepit, which we will use both Friday and Saturday night. If 
ou have firewood available for the firepit, PLEASE feel free to bring it, but 
e prepared to haul your firewood home if it is not used. This firepit will be 
he ONLY fire allowed on site.
There are deer and other animals around the area, please be careful when driving 
round the site area at night, as these deer will occasionally be in the road.
There are many picnic tables at the site, but otherwise seating is very limited. 
lease bring camp chairs.
Camping is available on site. People not wishing to camp may contact our 
arony's Chatelaine for crash space assistance; Lady Kyri of Lyonsmarche (Kara 
ee Olson) at: (208) 535-2927, or I have requested group rates from a variety of 
otels in the area. Please CALL AHEAD FOR RESERVATIONS and please be sure to 
ention that you are requesting a group rate with the SCA. You might need to say 
Society for Creative Anachronism" to be safe.
