General Description
A 7-10 day extended camping trip.
Stops @ Yosemite National Park, Las Vegas, and Zion National Park. Total # of days that will be spent "on the road" decided by the entire group.
Get out of town. Be adventurous.
-----------------------------------------------------
We are looking for 10 people to "Sign Up"
People can register as individual passengers, and Adventure Avenue assembles the group among different people, from all over the bay area.
A big, huge "road trip" with 10 people.
AA Ticket $49 per day
Entire camping trip @ $350 - $450 per person, depending upon total number of days. Includes drivers, insurance, lots of gas in order to cross into (2) other states (Nevada and Utah), transportation in 12-15 seat passenger vans, and all the campground fees for 7-10 days.
A mega camping trip.
The "bigger group" costs less per day, because gas and other travel expenses are divided up equally between more people --- on the road.
----------------------------------------------------
A "smaller group" that is significantly under 10 people will result in a slightly higher daily cost.
Due to the price of gas. And, less people.
AA Ticket $59-69 per day
Depending on total # of people.
We can still "make it happen" for a smaller group of people, but cost adjustments are required.
------------------------------------------------------
"AA Ticket" covers all the transportation, vehicles, insurance, gas and campgrounds, each night. Parking fees. Toll roads. Ice. Firewood.
Everything else you decide to do is "on your own".
