High Acre is 55 bucks a night for up to 15 people. It can only be reserved by a PATC member. I used to belong to the PATC but they started getting to far to the "radical" enviro left for my tastes. Some of the top officers are starting to advocate packing out your crap in a baggie. Building a campfire to them is like one of the 7 deadly sins. I haven't belonged for a number of years now. I have the PATC cabin book if you guys want me to scan the high acre info and email it. That would be a great idea for winter. Just need a member to reserve it.
