Cautions
  1. 1.XP 6 is private property. RESPECT THEIR SPACE and all items on the property. Do not move, climb on, or use any of the equipment that is not part of the RTO gathering. Enjoy the opportunity and again, respect their space.
  2. 2.Drive carefully when leaving XP 6, take it slow and do not speed. It is one way traffic leaving, do not attempt to leave the way you came in. Slowly follow the dirt road leaving the parking area to connect back with Hirschdale Rd.
  3. 3.Be extra careful crossing train tracks. You cannot judge the distance and speed of an oncoming train. You cannot always hear a train coming. A train can approach any track, from either direction at any time. On multiple tracks, more than one train can be present at one time. If the gates begin closing at a train crossing, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CROSS. Be smart and safe!
Van Directions
  1. 1.Leave XP 5 heading south along Stampede Dam - Meadows Rd. Continue onto Hirschdale Rd crossing under I-80 and follow to the XP 6/Tahoe Forest Church entrance. Drive carefully when entering the property as van and foot traffic can be heavy.
