1ST LIVIN LITE REGIONAL RALLY

[leslie]

[quote timestamp="1468900979" source="/post/23192/thread" author="@leslie"]Our reservation at Ft Stevens starts on Thursday. We will be driving from Portland. I had an idea - who else will be driving to arrive on Thursday? What about a Camplite Convoy? Or a LL Convoy?

This is my first time here - not sure if we can work it, but if we could...

We're coming in Thursday. Gonna try to push the 4pm checkin.

Where u gonna be coming from ?[/quote]


We are in Oregon City

Excited to meet everyone.[/quote]I would have directed Merlin to cross over to the Washington side at the 205 bridge and avoid Portland if I could have remembered the route names. 

Nah, I would have told him to stay on the Washington side until Astoria, as a more interesting ride. Anything to avoid Portland traffic.

[/quote]From Umatilla we are going to take I-84 W to I-205 N to I-5 N to Longview then cross back over the river on the Lewis and Clark Bridge to catch US 30 to Astoria. Hopefully skimming the east side of Portland far enough out to retain some sanity. We're at Hood Park in WA tonight and plan to arrive late Wed.

Or, stay on the WA side all the way out and cross back over at Astoria. Either way.

[/quote]I would say let's get together tomorrow but I'm going fishing. On that river that Bob just came down outa the mountains by.

Plus, I'm pretty sure you'll be sick of us by the weekend.

I think they are already at Ft. Stevens, from their message.

This is just like the gathering in Highlander, where they come from all over and everyone can feel everyone else's presence.

Without, you know, the cutting off of everyone's heads part. That would complicate the whole weekend. For most, if not all.

Leslie, you are [a href="https://www.google.com/maps/@45.3993672,-122.929315,525m/data=!3m1!1e3"]almost exactly 40 minutes due east of us[/a].

Go fishing. Hubby just came down with a summer cold, and I am trying to make sure he won't be miserable for this weekend.

Ok everyone expect to start seeing pics of campers, people etc., to appease the ones of us who weren't fortunate enough to get to travel to meet everyone in Oregon!??

Thank you!

[leslie]

Thanks to everybody who contributed to the timing of this weekend. Saturday the temp at home is supposed to be between 100° and 115°. I hope pinstriper's weather forecast for Ft. Stevens is accurate.

"Ocean in view!" To quote a rather famous person. 

Made it. Camped. Sleep.

We have pictures to post, but there is no internet connectivity in the park, and it is very slow where I am right now. Reports will follow. When we can get a better connection.

I have just enough data signal to get this one out. More to follow.
