Samurai KOA
June 23-26, 1995
We see travel to a foreign land……… A new adventure awaits. Koa moves to quaking aspen in sequoia national forest. Our group site is in a beautiful tall stand of pines located in a large meadow on the Tule River at 7000 ft elevation with plenty of room for everyone. Unfortunately we probably will not have hot showers, but the food will be good and the company will be the best. 57 kimono clad warriors attended.
