Coordinates
for SNU rallies - The SNU now provides the means for you to
put its rally sites on your electronic map. If you don't have a
GPS or a PND or a computer with a mapping program, you can still
take the file and use it to find coordinates on your paper maps.
|
Location - Hickison Petroglyphs campground is
located 20 miles east of Austin just off US 50 at Hickison Summit
. The turnoff is well marked and easily spotted just around a
curve in the road coming down from the summit.

Boondocking
SNU Style - SNU rallies are a great way to experience camping
“off grid” Our usual rally sites have no electricity or other
hookups. Water is frequently not available. For the SNU, this type
of camping enhances the experience and we are never without all
the comforts of home
