OK here we go with camping in 2007.

January 1; We arrived a couple days earlier and spent New Years eve at Bar View, Tillamook County Park on Tillamook Bay, Oregon. Visited an Air Museum.

January 12-13; In the cold and ice we camped at Logan Road RV park in Lincoln City, Oregon. We showing carving at a carving show in the Casino.

January 27-28; River Bend Linn County Park, near Sweet Home, Oregon

March 3-4; We planned on another park, but it was closed. So back to River Bend we went.

March 18-19; Camp Sherman Campground, near Camp Sherman, Oregon. Arrived late in the evening. Next morning we discovered we were camped next to a guy I worked with several years ago. Great to renew old friendships.


April 7-8; A little one site BLM campground on the Deschutes River. Very quiet.

April 27-28; Northern Oregon Gathering at Waterloo Linn County Campground, near Waterloo, Oregon. Great fun.

May 18-19; Trout Creek Campground NFS. Quiet campground on the South Santiam River, above Sweet Home, OR.

May 25-26; Cold Springs Campground NFS, West of Sisters Oregon. There we got to meet the owner of Hoodoo Ski resort. Nice guy.

June 16-17; Back to Trout Creek Campground NFS. Spent the days at Long Bow organizational camp with several geocachers.

June 22-23; Star Party at Pine Mountain Observatory East of Bend Oregon. Event with geocachers and star gazers.

July 18-22; Bullards Beach, Oregon Gathering near Bandon, Oregon.

July 22; Someplace on the Washington coast. Got in late left early.

July 23-24; Kenanna Washington State Campground, near Squim, Washington. Time for laundry and food shopping. Then a one day visit to Olympic National Park (Love that Golden Age Passport).

July 25-29; Friday Creek Thousand Trails campground. 3+ days of carving and carving seminars.

August 17-18; Dispersed camp stop on Park Creek at the edge of Park Meadow. We planned on a nice quiet week-end, but there was a group with 8-13 year olds (3). Ended up giving some wildflower identification instruction.

August 31-September 2; Raab Campground NFS. We camped with one of the daughters, her husband, and son. Nice family week-end. We also met a full timer in a Scamp 5er.

September 7-8; Wyeth Campground NFS, Columbia River Gorge. Quite place with a couple nice trials to hike, which we did.

September 21; Marion Forks Campground NFS, This place is right at the Marion Forks Fish Hatchery. The intention was to hike to the top of Crescent Mountain where a geocache sits. This geocache is named in my honor so I felt I should go find it. Things didn’t work as planned, therefore we have to go back another day.

October 12-12; North Oregon Gathering at Champoeg State Park. It’s about 12 miles from my house. We decided at the minuet to take the trailer over, glad we did.

October 26-27; Elk Creek Campground Tillamook State Forest. Last week-end before the gate was closed. Son-in-law, and 3 grandchildren joined for this trip. We had a nice hike and a fun camping trip.

Then it was time to start making the daughters and grandkids Christmas presents.
