Washington State (first annual) Get-Together

[HeathGal]

And Sharen, we have been working on our Mexican train but guess that will have to wait until the NOG. See everyone in Silver Falls.

Sí, de hecho mis amigos, Sr. y señora. Consideramos adelante a verte Las Caídas de Siver y a batir los pantalones de ti en un juego del Tren Mexicano. Es siempre diversión cuando nos reunimos.

Gracias tanto por tu mensaje.
¡Rastros felices!
Charen

IM bummed that i cant make this this year. perhaps next year. ill be there in sprit, anyone in WA going to the Vintage Trailer Rally in Mt Baker?

August 14-17
The focus is all vintage trailers & motor homes 25 years and older. However ALL RV’s are welcome. (Just be “an old RV’er at heart!”)

Parking is $15.00 per night water/power hookups and $10.00 dry camping. The rally fee is $25.00 per unit (of one or 2 people) for the four-day event. Early arrivals are most welcome. No Reservations needed.....just come. We have plenty of room. Directions: Take I-5 to exit #255 in Bellingham , WA , the Sunset Drive/ Mt. Baker Hwy exit. Head east on the Mt. Baker Hwy ( S.R. 542 ) towards Mt. Baker until you pass mile marker #9. Then at the bottom of a hill turn left onto the Cedarville road. In about a mile the Deming Log Show Grounds will be on the left. We will be camped in the back away from the little country road.

Bummer! Wish we'd known about that sooner.
Some years ago when we owned a vintage ('69) Airstream Tradewinds, we cramped at the Deming Log Show Grounds for an Airstream gathering... it was our first intro into this "cramping cult" stuff, and we had a blast. It's a no-frills but perfectly fine area - big, flat grassy field ringed in evergreens... also has a train or mining exhibition, if I remember correctly. We'd love to be there but we've got tickets for Garrison Keillor and APHC show at Marymoor on Aug 15.

Maybe next year!

What is the web site for vintage RVers?

Thanks and have lots of FUN,
Sharen

"also has a train or mining exhibition"?? Good guess Sahron, LOL!!!
Its actually an antique logging exhibitation built there because logging has always played suc animportant part in DEMING's history, thus The Deming Log Show Fair Grounds. We'll be making two trips down there from up here. First trip is to partake of the Vintage trailer meet. Then the following Wednesday we will be returning with our Trillium and Plymouth along with some other likely Canucks to set up camp for the 'Summer Fun Run' (Hot-Rod camp-out weekend).

....does the background look familiar??

[Flygal]

"bear bait" you even put him (or her) on a lease so the bear hardly has to work for that tidbit how nice and convenient.....going to see if I can make it

Eric, whenever YOU are there, our Whidbey Island is represented in exemplary measure. See you there!

Family gathering forces us to cancel our reservation for site #53. Hope to attend next year if this is a repeat event. Will see everyone who attends NOG in OCT.

Jenny and I would love to come meet you all, but we're riding the motorcycles down to Texas that week. Now that our little egg is useable/mostly done we want to meet our fellow trailerites. Dunno what a NOG is yet, but if it includes beer I'm probably interested.

BTW, we're taking our inaugural first trip in our first trailer to Jack Johnson this thursday and friday (Aug 21, & 22) at the Gorge. We'll be staying at the Wildhorse Campground ( highly recommended for shows) where we saw and fell in love with our first Bolers last year at the Dave Mathews Band concert.

NOG = Northern Oregon Gathering to be held October 10-13 at Silver Falls State Park near Salem Oregon. (Another name for the NOG is Not Organized Gathering)
Beer? I think there's going to be a beer exchange. Click: Northern Oregon Gathering for all the details.

and NOT to be confused with the "GEM" mid September.

GEM = Glass Egg Meet in Ft.Langley B.C.

[brady hansen]

Those sound great but nither are in the cards for us this year. We scrambled to get our egg roadworthy, but everything took much longer than expected. All of our travels this year are packed into late August through October as we will knock out the western half of the states by motorcycle. I'm curious how comfortable these trailers are in the colder, wetter seasons here inthe great PNW. I can't see parking her all winter after barley getting to use her this summer. Too many toys and not enough play time.

[HeathGal]

Loving near-beach cramping, we moved our Grayland reservation arrival date up a day, arriving Thursday, Sept 25. Anybody else arriving early?

BTW:
Whidbey weather: 67 with light rain (feels great after a week of hot weather)
Island gas: $4.07 yikes, still too high

Here's a pix of Simon checking out the rules at Prairie Creek Redwoods Crampgrounds in NO CA a month ago.

[Christi V.]

I will also be arriving on Thur the 25th! I figure around 1pm ...

[Larry&Carrie]

The wench and I are arriving Thursday also.... Being old and feeble, we don't like to get in a hurry We're starting WED and will wander our way there.... Larry

[Bill and Jacquie G.]

Whoopeee! We've got a space!

Thanks, Gil and Kathy - Sorry you couldn't make it this year.

Bill and "Tilly-the-Trillium" will be arriving on Friday to occupy Space #53.(Jacquie will be visiting relatives in San Francisco.)

Thank you Greg, for hollerin' "Get'em up, Move'em out: We're meetin' up at Grayland Beach! Yee-Haw!"

Thank you Donna. You can stake us out at #53

Bill

Bill will be walking the dogs.

[Casita Greg]

Bill and Jacquie, Welcome aboard, and glad you can make it to the "first annual."

Gil and Kathy, Sorry you folks had to cancel, but we'll see you at Silver Falls in October.

Donna, if you would be so kind as to revise the roster at your convenience, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Greg
