West-Coast Hipforums gathering 2006?

hmmm I missed the august part, I got the whole monthe of july off, at least until the 27th, prolly cant make it in august.

 

Oh man! That sucks!

Fleassy and I *might* make it out to the Oregon Country Fair...bit iffy though, with the baby and her hopping between Canada and the US...

But if we do decide to grace the fair with our presence, wanna meet up?

 

sure but I was considering the National in COlorado or the gathering of the tribes in The Ozarks as well, since I will be driving west from Virginia anyway

 

The Ozarks? Like in Missouri, the Ozarks? My old stomping ground! I sure miss the summers there. *sigh*

 

I think its in Missouri

 

Ummm, not to butt in, but the seaside place is OK with me. My vote is in.

 

hey ya'll, I'm still around , before you settle on a place give me another week or so ok? i am waiting on a yes or no on perfect place and dont want to ruin it by pushing to hard, yaknow?

 

So far we have three yeses for the seaside place...I'll try to get more forumers to give a yes or no...and we'll go from there!

 

the place in the link?

 

Those two parks in southern Oregon are going to be about as good as we can get as far as accessiblilty to 1-5 and being reachable from California and upper Washington/Canada.

Basically, from what I can see, the Valley park is bigger and closer to I-5.

But the Stewart Park has more for families to do, mainly swimming. The other park doesn't have that. Plus, it's smaller, so there's less of a chance of disturbing/being disturbed by others. It's also more spaced out, if I have the pictures straight.

And cape-lookout state park: http://www.oregonstateparks.org/park_186.php

Most people seem to like Cape Lookout....Need more input to make it official though...

 

Cape Lookout sounds awesome to me. This is getting exciting...I REALLY hope I can make it!

Just out of curiousity, can we have a quick show of hands for who's going to be able to make it (or who's going to try to make it)?

 

it's a 600 mile drive for me.. but i'm saving money already and my kids are excited to go.

we're gonna try our hardest to be there.. BUT if things go bad between now and then.. we're gonna just go to the earthdance festival in septmber


if anyone is down my way and wants to ride with us or vice verse have us ride with them.. save on some gas lemme know.. might make it easier on all of us to ride-share

 

We are intending to go. But if someone doesn't reserve something soon, I'm not sure we will get a campground. I reserve my Memorial day campsites 9 months in advance. Time is ticking away. Maybe Steffan will come up with something good for us .

 

I say we reserve something ASAP, if we still can....because YIKES...it's not even three months away anymore!

 

there are more campsites than people around here, so no worries. heck we didntt even make reservations for the 4th last year
a freind of mines family has land with a guest house im trieing to get, he sounded like it was a real posibility, it all comes down to what his mom says.
if not though the biggest problem is finding a place right off the interestate, if people wouldnt mind going an hour or so out of the way theres a privete campground that would cost about the same for ourr little group

 

At this point, I'd be willing to take just about any good thing we can find!

 

I'm sooooo loving this idea. Granted I'm in Indiana, but I'm no stranger to planes. It'd be neat to meet many of you

 

Then you should come, dammit!

August 5th! Get your ass out here!

 

would anyone object to a mile and ahalf of field and a house in town?

 

^ Not me!
