Nice John, thanks for the pictures. Looks like a pretty rowdy bunch. Are you going to be at the Oregon gathering in July? That one is the big Momma of egg gatherings .

No - We're going to have to do that on a different trip. We have a couple weeks of family and friends in Washington and then we cross the border northbound - headed for a summer in Alaska. Should be back to AZ around Labor Day. Initial details are on the blog at Just Finding Our Way: Alaska Bound and we've been updating most every day.

Thanks for the pics, John. I enjoyed browsing your blog too. We weren't able to make the NOG this time, but it looks like a good time was had by all.

I'm HOME! Oh my stars... my dad would say having that much fun should be illegal

The people, the food, the fire pit gatherings, the beer, the bikin', the walkin', the visiting.... AND THE WEATHER!!! Absolutely, absolutely perfect. This NOG has set the bar for wonderful weather. I do know John and BJ were instrumental in dragging the sun from Arizona. THANKS!!!!!

Time to unload, do the laundry and remember the good times.

Hope everyone gets home safely or are already there

Hugs to all for helping me make a wonderful memory!

Until next time

Cari and I had a wonderful time at our first "NOG" and actually...our first anything! We'd never been to any sort of RV gathering before since we are self proclaimed Happy Hermits...To say that being with that many people while camping was out of our element is an understatement! BUT you all made us feel like family and we thank you

Some of the highlights for us?

1) Donna rushing out as we passed her camp yelling "Cari, Cari" like wowzer...somebody knows us?

2) All the fun tours we gave to those visiting our site/Parkliner

3) All the fun ideas we gleaned from the rigs & people we visited

4) The two gals from Washington state who will henceforth be known to Cari and I as the "Froli Spooners"

5) Being stopped twice at signal lights by motorists wondering where we got our Parkliner...

6) Being chased down in a big parking lot by a fellow who asked the same Q.

See you at the Fall NOG if not before on the roadways & byways

Sounds like it was a lot of fun! Don't forget July at Bandon!

Just got home and happy to report the trip home was far less eventful than going down and was about 6 hours faster than the trip down!

THANKS Donna once again.
A great time and you really pulled off a great deal with the weather gods! My car claimed it was 81 degrees outside on Saturday. Great golf and lots of laughs around the campfire. Photos to come..... still unloading the trailer.

Happy to hear you made it home safe & sound and in good time.

The 2013 SPRING NOG goes down in history as "10! 10! 10!" a PERFECT SCORE on each and every level: weather, fun, friendship, food... and FULL MOON!!! It simply was THE BEST and forevermore we shall be measuring every other cramping adventure against the AWESOME 2013 SPRING NOG.

Thanks again to Donna Dee for stepping up once again as our fearless leader of the NOT ORGANIZED GATHERING, which we all know takes some organization, after all.

Simon and I always have ourselves a grand time, and in addition to Donna, we thank all of you for being part of one heckova fun gathering.

Cheers,
Sharen Heath
