I will be there...look for the 17+' yellow top with Blue bottom and turtles tipi on the east side of camp. NOT the tipi camp...to the left area down about 3 to 4 blocks on the left and 3 blocks in as you come in the front gate. You will not be able to miss the color of my camp.
Have been going since I helped start the original Alafia in the late 1970's. This is the first year I have brought a tipi in since we left Charlie Knights place for the Alafia. Say hello when you get a chance.

Will do. We usually set up in that area on 5 points and PA ave.
We looked at a teepee when we started but we couldn't carry the 25' poles and that was a 10 footer at the base.

A 10' tipi at the base only has to have poles that ae 12' to 15'. Are you sure on the size? It it was a 20'...I might agree. But I know the area you are in.
