WA | June 8-10, 2012 Taidnapam Washington Gathering

[Cathy Gale]

I almost waited too long but I was able to score site #256. A pull through site so no backing in for me this time. I arrive Friday the 8th and leave Sunday the 10th. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

The lake seems to be at a good level--filling up. We drove by there on Monday.

Make that 34 - Looks like I'll be batching it again this year in site 246.
I'll be rolling in Friday evening.

[Robert Detrick]

has any one fished riffle lake at Taidnapam? Can I use a motor on my boat?

[Bob and Julie]

My wife and I just reserved site #244 with a Friday arrival. We may have to leave early Sunday morning due to work. This will be our first rally, we are excited!!

[Jim_B]

Put me and the girls down for site 211.

Yes, you can use your motor. I just checked with the park office and was told that the lake is coming up about a foot and a half a day and will be full by Memorial Day. Last year it was REALLY low but it looks like this year is a different story. Looking forward to the gathering!!

[Robert Detrick]

thank you kim

[Casita Greg]

Well, once again, the best laid plans of mice and men... I had to cancel my reservation. Seems like the doctors want to see me for some more tests on June 8th, so my spot, Site #276 is available. Sorry I won't be able to attend again this year either. Bummer.
I will keep updating the roster, so keep posting here as usual and I'll keep it updated. Thanks.

[Donna D.]

Sorry you won't make the gathering Greg. It's been a few years since we've 'camped together.' Take care, safe travels and may the force be with you when you see your doctor

Bummer X two.

I just got out of the hospital after five weeks and have to report that as much as we were looking forward to the meet, I will be unable to attend. However, that does leave my spot, #286, open for someone who would like to move and is trying to get a site closer to the rest of the party or for someone who can't find a site to reserve. See you next year.

I have my Escape 15' for sale. If it doesn't sell in the next 10 days you can see it at Taidnapam. I love the Escape. I just need more room for me and my grandson. Look at the forum for sellng trailers if you are interested. I finally got around to posting pictures.

[Charlie A]

I regret that something has come up and we won't be able to make it. Our site #233 is now available.

Greg,
We'd rather you have good doctors attending to making sure all is well with you, than have you miss your appointment just to be with us at the campsite in Taidnapam!
I'm sure you will get a good report from the Docs, and we will get to see you soon (maybe not until next year at Taidnapam...)!
Or better yet, let's figure out another park to go to sometime this summer, and we can meet up there!!! We need as many escape outings as we can get, before those horrific Pacific NW RAINS RETURN...
All the best thoughts are going out to YOU!
Your 'Buddy BB'

[Donna D.]

Well phoooey. Keeping an eye on the weather for next weekend and it looks like it may be damp. Oh well, we're Pacific NorthWETters and will be sleeping in dry/warm accommodations . There again, who knows what will happen in 4-5 days, our weather changes every five minutes around here.

How about... instead of a potluck on Saturday night.. and worrying about tables, etc. we have a "bring your own" communal supper? Fix your dinner at your trailer, bring it (and everything you need) to the fire? (Wood welcome!) Just throwing this out for conversation...

Looks like I'll be leaving my bicycle at home and bringing the E-Z Up (which isn't) instead.

Bring sun everyone!

[Robert Detrick]

Bring your fishing rod, fish don't mind being wet!

[Possum]

How's about bring your own supper and have a communal dessert bar? Or, eat your own supper in the comfort of your trailer and gather for a communal potluck dessert at a given time? I suppose we could wait and see if it's pouring rain or not and that could dictate the event. I see lots of tarp use......hopefully not all blue ones.....for this gathering.
