Spring Break

Spring Break is a popular time to visit the Lost Coast and King Range Wilderness.

Many schools, such as Humboldt State and the UC System, are on spring break the second half of March. If you are looking for solitude... you might not find it at Big Flat.

Try visiting some other, less popular part of the Lost Coast. Spanish Flat is just as cool as Big Flat, in my opinion, and is far less used. This might be a good place to spend a few nights while the party animals try and fail to surf at Big Flat.

Also. Remember a couple of things, if you are coming out for Spring Break:
1. Pack out what you pack in. If you're tough enough to carry it in full... carry out the empties.
2. Bring a bear-proof can to store all of your food. The bears are awake now. Hanging food does not always work! Cans are now required by law.
3. Be careful with your fire--please use existing stone fire rings and put out your fire with water. Do not use sand!
4. On the Coast, the tide-zone is the toilet. Please bury feces and paper in the wet sand or gravel. Please pack out other trash such as tampons and beer bottles.
5. Respect your neighbors. The Lost Coast isn't all that LOST and it belongs to EVERYONE!

Most importantly, have fun and be safe out there!
