Pacific NW get together

[Trinity Honoria]

No one seemed too excited about that idea. LOL We'll probably be in around 5 I'm guessing. No idea what room number yet. I hope they have a WiFi there some place so we can sit in our little dark hotel room and post here about the great time we're having shooting cockroaches by flashlight with the rubberband guns and frying spam sammiches on the camp stove.

i beg your pardon... i was planning to be out with y'all... oh, well, i just didn't speak up...

there is WiFi at the Super 8-- i have to do some work while there, so i made sure i had internet access...

ok, so now someone come up with the link-up plan for dinner!!!

 

[Cedarkerf]

I'm bringing the Barbie saw and plan to take the bar off and wrap the head in a garbage bag. That ought to take care of smell and drips. Do we have cockroaches here? I heard they got another dump of snow in the passes last night.

Snowed here for a little while last night but not much stuck.

Hey Booker, do you get cell service at your place?

Did you say there was space to camp at your place? Anyone plan on camping?

Yes I get cell service. You are more then welcome to camp in the field. I know there's a few people camping in the field.

I'll be there Saturday morning, you said around 9:00 right?

Anyone needing a ride from the Portland area? I though Freakingstang might try to fly in.

I'm always up for pepperoni pizza. I can kill a medium Pizza Hut by myself.

 

[Cedarkerf]

We should be getting there around 11 -noon saturday morning and camping.

 

[slowp]

I'm thinking 10ish on Saturday will be my arrival time. This is based on no traffic problems around the Vancouver USA area.

Sort of. Sac International doesn't allow curbside pickup of arriving passengers. You have to park in the lot and schlep everything. Some kind of security thing I guess.

But...if RR2 displays some type of disability...like a very pronounced limp...I could pick him up curbside. Limp RR2, limp !!

I'm working the woods all day tomorrow so when I get home I'll grab some sleep,tend to a few chores, and pick up RR2 early Friday morning. Real early. Ugly early. Logger early.

The only place I plan on stopping, other than to eat, is the Collier Logging Museum north of Klamath Falls. I've never been there and it's supposed to be pretty good.

We should be in The Dalles Friday afternoon. Dinner at the Sugarshack or wherever sounds good. I don't know what RR2's room arrangements are or if he's staying at Bookerdog's but we'll figure that out on the way up.

 

[Lakeside53]

I'll be in Hood River Friday evening... At Bookers Saturday by 10am... depending on the event the night before...

Collier Logging Museum

Gologit,

Collier Logging Museum is a neat place to stop. It's not real big, but has a pretty neat accumulation of old logging stuff. It has the head rig out of the old Weyerhauser Mill in Klamath Falls. It sawed multiple billions of board feet of pine. The restrooms are pretty good too.

My dad, brother and I used to fish Spring Creek, immediately north of the Museum. We had tons of fun, caught a lot of fish, and the scenery is awesome.

Im bringing a bedroll just in case,,,, but I am not opposed to coughing up some jing for a room,,,, I failed to nail one down but as you say we will figure it out,,,
logger early is good with me,,, the sooner we are on the road,,, the better,,,
0315 is my normal time to get up everyday and I dont think I will get real comfy snoozing in the terminal with my cell phone stuck in my ear anyway.....

ought to be interesting to say the least!!!!!!
