NWS : Area 33 rally, Trout Lake WA

[C Johnson]

I am in. Don't know exactly when I'll be there but, I am in.

Don, sorry to hear about your loss and having to cancel your trip.

However, It will be good to see you two !

Looks like time to pipe up with our potluck picks... Friday night we thought we'd assemble the baby field greens/tomato/feta/vinaigrette salad that vanished pretty well at BBB. Saturday, we thought we'd bring either a French style potato salad (New, red potatos and dijon dressing) or wild rice salad. We'll probably bring some tofu dogs for Friday night too.

Ought to be a fine time!

Craig & Jane

[Janet H]

YUM! I'll add it to the list.

I just have one thing to say: Well five things.

[greyzeth]

We're in, can't wait to get away from the daily grind.

[Stefrobrts]

Glad to hear you can make it, Grey We won't be there until Saturday morning though. Can't wait!

[Dan S]

How far away is this site from Seattle, I'm not familiar with it?

[Stefrobrts]

You can look up Trout Lake, WA on google maps and it will show you the way and tell you how long it will take to drive from where you are. Basically you'd be coming down I-5 to Vancouver, then 14 out to Trout Lake. You'll end up on the south side of Mt Adams, if that helps you geographically

We need some Barbecue Grills 3 for the Saturday night BYOM Barbecue.
I have one. I will be bringing an EU2000 for morning topping charges for who ever needs it, bring your extension cords
Volunteers Please.

Gary---We will bring our BBQ grill as well. Also planning on bringing our outdoor cooking range....We are looking forward to it.

On another note, I drove up to area 33 about the middle of last week and noticed several RV's camped in the area of the fire pit...Was wondering if Janet was possibly able to reserve that area for our forum crew. Hope so!

-------Cheers Bob

[L&C Woogie]

Hello All,
We'll be arriving at area 33 on Thursday, probably early afternoon so we can attempt to 'commandeer' the fire pit.

Loren and Carolyn

I think 2air is planning on arriving on Tuesday or Wednesday and knows where to park to help reserve the area for us. We will be coming in probably Saturday afternoon and staying until Tuesday morning so we don't have to face the MemDay traffic. We'll be coming from Spokane where we're attending an African Caravan maintenance rally with 14 folks attending. It will be the first time meeting these folks and see some of the trailers that are going, including our Argosy. It should be interesting!

Stef....could you bring your big coffee pot? We'll make coffee for everyone if we have a group breakfast. We'll also have a small grill to add to the cooking.
Be sure to buy everything at home before you leave. The local general store has very basic things at a premium price!

We're bringing our kayak and bikes. Maybe we could do a group ride. It's a nice valley to bicycle in.......lot's of small dairies, everpresent view of Mt Adams. There's a nice lake about 15 miles down the road if folks want to bring a canoe, small boat, or kayak (Darol?). There's also guided group white water rafting trips down the white salmon river. It's one of the fastest flowing whitewater rivers in Washington and has some scary plunges. The water is colllllllllllllllld!

We're also bringing our genset, if anyone needs their battery topped off.

See ya'll in TL!

[Janet H]

We will be in Thursday late afternoon. I'm going to bring a bunch of artichokes to steam on thursday for dinner (weather permitting). Anyone interested? I'll bring extras - they are on season right now.

[2airishuman]

oh boy fresh 'chokes....

is this heaven?

bring extra, i'll buy some from ya for the trip home.

cheers
2air'

[Janet H]

tell ya what..

I'll bring a bunch of them and a couple of big pots and some butter and lemon. We can steam as many as there are mouths for and you can tote the rest home. I think we have post space for about 15 chokes.

Last year I got a case to take to the wenatchee rally and they ran a buck a piece.

[acgypsy]

gary, i have a small weber gas bbq that goes with the trailer, is there anything that needs to be included, jeff

[Blue Pearl]

Yum Yum, chokes, My mouth is watering. Hope some are left, we won't be getting to camp until Fri sometime. Will be more then happy to contribute to the choke fund. We are planning to start out Thurs. sometime from Seaside and spend Thurs. night on the road. Our kitchen is still in stage 1(all torn out) so this weekend should be fun fun fun. Our cabinet man is on a bigger job and can't get to us, so it's just Glenn, I and a jigsaw . all I'm hoping for is a sink and stove that work and something to hold them up. Wish us luck! Teresa

[Janet H]

Update: I spoke with the farm/park owners today. They have ordered 2 port-o-lets to be delivered next thursday AM. If you are coming in before that and are without facilities.... try not to drink much.

The ten day forcast looks great (crossing fingers)!


We still need some food donations - see full list in post 16.

Friday - we need condiments for brats, another desert or 2, a few more sides.

Saturday - we still need munchies!

Sunday AM - we need a few volunteers to fire up their ovens and bake some cinnamon rolls or similar. I highly recommend the frozen Rhodes ones, let em rise overnight on counter or not and bake - they even come in a disposable pan!
