Stop our order! We want to make some changes. Chrome, you betcha. Unfortunetly, when it is supposed to be in Seattle we are supposed to be picking up our trailer...must reschedule.

It is looking like we will be camping at the primitive group camp in Mossyrock. Mayfield is already booked, Alder is expensive and logistically challenging and I don’t think Taidnapam is as nice as Mossyrock. Mossyrock has the advantages of being isolated from the main campground, is...

All pictures have been posted in the gallery. I apologize for the numerous spelling errors. I certainly have been having fun with this; last Sunday was a gorgeous day it was great to be out on a mission. So the devil is in the details, each site has issues and is subject to availability that...

This is an out of the way park. Nice main camp, the group areas are a little isolated. This confusing sign says it all, there several camping sites going on here. This complex is next to the utility group site. I has a bathroom but I think the rest is a service building. Shelter for...

Mayfield is a smaller park, however, the group area is nice. There are no utilities at the group site. At the start of the main campground, group camp is all the way down the road. Closed gate to group camp area. View over group camp lot to shelter and lake. Fire rings are spaced in the...

Not a lot of pictures, nice campsite, no direct view of the lake but it is close. The park does come with a nice dam, it is a dam fine park. View looking into group area. Looking at fancy sign and big grassy area between facilities and group camp. Nice big field. Typical utilities...

The rest of the Mossyrock photos. It might clarify how things are around the group camps. Grassy area near first non-utility group site Another shot of the utility group site. Utilty group camp, to be honest there is more grass near the non-utility group sites. Looking at one end of the...

I just posted Mossyrock pictures in the gallery. I will post the others tomorrow.

Picture set from Mossyrock First of the three non-primitive campsites, no utilities. 2nd of three group camps, utilities View of lake from group campgrounds Bathrooms for all group camps. Third of three group camps, no utilities. Kitchen/shelter for group camps. Bath room for...

Humpback whales in SE Alaska spend the summer feeding and they use a technique known as bubble net feeding to do so. They feed as a coordinated group with one whale going around in a circle creating a bubble net around a school of fish while another drives them to the net by “vocalizing.” At...

Welcome Sarah and Frank to the Event Committee. Evan is busy and has delegated the heavy responsibility for organizing the event. I told him I would do what I can to move this along. If we can find a venue, I will be more than happy to put my credit card on the line. Since you two have...

So on a beautiful day like today, instead of Super Bowling, I took a little drive in the country with the intent of inspecting what Tacoma Power has to offer. I only checked out those areas designated as “group” areas. At this time I don’t know what is available and what isn’t. I know that...

Frank, the site I found is this one: MossyRock You are correct, it is Tacoma Power. It is still available for Memorial Day. I may be able to check it out next Sunday. The deal is that you have to book in person or with a form. I can book it now and we can check it out. The...

I think Salt would be interesting, I had never heard about it until Frank mentioned. As for who might show up, I have been figuring 10 cars, 10 trailers and 20 people. This is similar to last year. The following is a list of everyone who has expressed an interest in this year's NW gathering...

I looked at both Salt and Dungeness today, I did not call but I did see that the group campground at Dungeness was available, however, it did not look like it would work for us. It was unclear if Salt had a group site or enough individual sites so that it would work. Both Dosewallips group...

I kind of figured it was, but when I checked on the site it started to look pretty good except, of course, for the travel time involved. It got a scenic rating of 9. There are a lot of group campgrounds like this that are not at a state park so the fact that this one was available would...

This must be Evan's personal campground. It is actually available and is good for around 25 people. It does have a shelter and scuba diving. No electricity however. It is $53 a night and we can cancel. I am thinking three nights. Is this too out of the way for folks or should we book this...

According to Evan last year there were 9 trailers, 4 from the Seattle/Olympia area, two from Portland, and one each from southern OR, CA and UT. As to facilities, he does not think there are any absolute requirements. I have tracked the suggestions that have been submitted so far and done...

Oh, perhaps some night when we are all sitting around a campfire Steve will entertain us with the story of the Thanksgiving that he spent alone in the rainforest--he could not get his stove to work, could not cook his freeze dried yuk...so sad.
