so i checked on mapquest and its about 90 miles from Olympia Washington.

Who is all coming to the meet?

Whos all camping?

What time does everyone want to meet up on Aug 22nd? early I hope!

I anyones coming from far far away and they want to leave on friday and stay somewhere friday night we have a huge yard and a spare room and alot of floor space. We live a min off I-5 in OLY.

 

Beau the sites are $27.50 I think and its about $6.00 for an extra vehicle I think? Sounds like Jesse, Jeff, Ramsey, Jimmeh, Me, Shane, and Rob are camping? Sounds like we will need 3 spots 'cause that's a min. of 2 trucks/2-3 people per spot. Can everyone who wants to camp PM me so I can have a solid count?

Other than that Beau the plan is to meet a Blue Lake and then whoever wants to camp will head to the campground later. If anyone wants to camp Fri night I need to know that too.

 

i think you missed grant, he better make it to a GTG, how big are the camp sites, i'm gonna pick up a tent in the next few days, and i believe my boss has some camp gear... i have to ask him when he gets back from sturgis


also what kind of electrical hookups?

 

Im not camping so no worries....have work in the morning.

 

Rob - Shane is the only one who has seen the sites in person so just waiting on him to answer your questions...

 

Camping is fine with me, idc, its up to Jimmeh im kind of stuck on whatever he does lol.

 

Do we have another "Bromance" going on here??? LOL

 

Umm no its because im meeting him at his place and where going to split gas from there, so we well be in the same vehicle...

 

OK boys... I've reserved 3 spots for Sat night. It's a max of 2 vehicles per campsite but they do have overflow parking if we have more trucks than that. It's $23.34 or something like that per site per night, I'm taking care of the reservation fees so someone should bring me beer.. haha. The guy said he thought the vehicle fee was $10.00 per extra vehicle but I'd have to call the park to verify. Shane I had to give 'em a different name and address for every site so one is under your name. Spots are #28, #30, #31 for those interested. Anyone who wants to come on friday night let me know and I'll extend the reservations for atleast that many spots. Rob the spots are camping so they have no electricity and no water. I think that covers it? Let me know if you have questions...

 

20 DAYS!!!!!! :)

 

i can probally do friday night if we wanted to do that, i will probally be in portland then anyways... if not i can always bunk at my sisters place friday night

 

I wasn't planning on coming fri 'cause I was gonna caravan w/ the WA people... but like I said, I'm happy to extend the reservations for those interested... wasn't sure how far Jimmeh, Ramsey, Jeff, and Jesse wanted to drive in one day...

 

it doesn't matter to me, if others want to do it, then i'm good for it... i just got back from picking up the tent, got a really good deal at big 5, if ya want some of thoes beverages marie, then no problem

 

so wait i was thinking, are we doing the GTG at the camp site now? also what kind of designation they have for camp fires? i have access to a bunch of junk wood

 

The GTG is still at blue lake, those campsites aren't big enough for all of our rangers to be in 1 place...

 

No electrical/water/plumbing hookups at our sites, the sites that do have those are already booked by other folks, so it isn't even an option.

Meet stays at Blue Lake for the awesome venue for the ever so essencial group shots!

Things needed: tent, sleeping bag, snacks, fooders(I don't intend to bring the bbq with me to the campsite), drinks, change of clothes, bathroom stuff(there's on-site showers and bathroom facilities), basic camping stuff ya knows. Each site has a firepit with grille and picnic table. Right across the baby street from our sites is the bathroom and shower....a whopping 50' walk or so.


Did I cover everything? I REALLLLLY need to update the first post. Gonna start working on that right now.

 

Welcome back Shane... Rob had some questions about site sizes... also I'll bring my coleman stove...

 

Campsites are kinda small(in regards to usable 'floor' space), but I figure 30 and 31 can handle two of the huge tents that Marie has. 28 can handle multiple tents on-site, so size of tent really isn't an issue. I didn't take a measurement, but I guess the 'lots' are approx 60ft deep and approx 40 ft wide? With trees and the above mentioned firepit and table and driveways measuring approx 40-50ft. 30 and 31 have a slight downgrade coming down from 28, but the plots where I see tents are alot more flat compared to the gradual hill.

 

I got a tent, Ramsey. I'll bring it.

 

i got one i'm gonna bring also

 

I have a tent as well. Can't remember how big it is though. I am tempted to just throw my canopy on and sleep in the back of my truck.

Anyone talk to Jesse latley?

 

I texted him the other day about something unrelated... I'll text again I suppose?

Like I mentioned before, I have some spare tents that will comfortably fit 1 person... anyone who needs me to toss 'em in just let me know...



EDIT: just heard back... he said he's camping as long as the passport comes in time... haha

 

Could you bring one of those one person tents for the two of us?

 

I Should find out tomorrow what I work on the 22nd

 

Hehe... Well since I come with a dog you might wanna just join in my 8 person tent... lol... party in my tent?? hehe
