We can barely believe it ourselves. We are less than two month away from moving into our forever home! With plenty of work to still be done, we are optimistically shooting to be open in the new location April 12th. We will be closing the current College Drive shop on April 7th, packing and moving with ferocious excitement in order to open up again in just 5 days.
Remodeling the old Pizza Hut building has been a new kind of adventure for our team. It’s beginning to take on a new energy, a life of it’s own and starting to resemble exactly what we have always imagined it could be.

We hope you’ll join us the first weekend of April to check out the new digs!

While you may get lucky by hanging your food in a sack from a tree, this is not permitted in many areas and virtually impractical in many alpine anddesert backpacking zones. Bear canisters are the preferred method for storing food and other smelly items, but there are many kinds to be aware of. Let’s look at them in more detail.
