Oct. 7-9, 2011: Fall NOG 2011 – N. Oregon Gathering

[Dave Thompson]

Donna, thanks so much for inviting Jodee and I to the NOG. Even though we weren't able to stay for any length of time, we found it fun, very friendly and informative. More than a few of the attendees took the time to talk to us (trailer newbies) and show us their rigs. All of which provided us the impetus to find and then buy a very nice used 16' Scamp not terribly far from the NOG. So now we're working on the logistics of getting it back to Spokane and arranging winter storage.

We now are looking forward to Spring and the 'start' of our new adventures. Our friends are 'egging' us on.

PS: You look just like your avatar!

Hey Dave! Glad you and Jodee were able to make it. AND, you found your egg so quickly too. I hope we can cross paths and share Scamp/camping stories! Safe travels.

Yeah, I've been told I look EXACTLY like my avatar

BTW: Happy Birthday!

Dee and I had a great time Donna. Glad to be back in the realm of fiberglass. However ABOUT THE WEATHER!

OK, so here is a little slide show as promised I apologize for maybe not getting a shot of everyone's camper or a shot of everyone. I tried to get as many faces and campers as I could but it was hard to keep up with all of you. Nothing special here and a little of a rush job in putting it together but I have to get back out looking for more raccoons!!!! You get the idea though and it was fun.

thanks for being so friendly and instructional when it comes to care and feeding of our campers!!! We got some great ideas as always!

For those that live in the area, we already know about this tragedy. What a difference for us that were camping at Champoeg... a couple of weeks make: Campers nearly hit by debris from plane crash | kgw.com Portland
