N. Oregon, S. Washington potluck October 20th

[Spud]

So I'm wanting to organize our next meet-up, wanted to get everyone together to discuss some of the stuff Kent brought up this weekend more in depth as a group. I have a few places in mind, and am looking for more ideas! The first place I was thinking was Prescott Beach off of Highway 30, plenty of space for us to gather the rigs, but there's a small day use fee (I think it's $5 or thereabouts, I'll double check). Another idea is I know of a few wide open places in the Tillamook State Forest that are easily accessible even by a stock fwd car.

My thought is a potluck would be fun, we can bring and cook a bunch of those big Costco franks, everyone else can bring drinks, sides, desserts, etc.

Thoughts? I want to get a rally point up asap so people can plan for it!

Sounds great, i can bring my camp chef 2 burner stove and a table if anything needs to be cooked or anything else, i am available only on weekends so count me in for any help.

I’m interested as well, weekends work for me except Oct 13-14 when we go crabbing. Either locale is fine too.

Any chance we could do some form of training as well? Could be simple stuff, experimenting with different recovery gear, showing how a ham radio works etc.

Interested as well!! Would need a date ASAP as my fall calendar gets tricky...life of working for the Salvation Army. Sorry in advance for the all those red kettles you’ll see hah

I would be interested, going to be busy traveling Oct 24th thru November 8th. Prescott Beach sounds fun for family. Tillamook wold be nice with a run short run in the forest either before or after the potluck.

Training will definitely be a part of the meet ups, probably nothing formal for this one as I think we need to gather as a group and compile a list of training we would like to have as priority. If there's interest I can do a basic how-to on winching at this one perhaps.

What's everyone think of October 20th as a date?

Works perfect for me. I have drill the weekend before so couldnt be better!

Sounds perfect to me for a meet up on the beach. I was talking with Kent also and think the training is a fantastic idea. His training classes he has set up for his Sierra Group is a great thing to strive for. A basic training on winching and recovery is a great idea.

That works for me too.

 

[Jago Overland Adventures]

Well damn....I think I can even make that date. No work for me that weekend!!

 

[Spud]

I'll go to the beach tomorrow and get you guys some pictures and nail down the day use fee, sounds like we've got a rough idea for a plan here!

I volenteer to get stuck! I have the least amount of tow points and the least amount of capability. Will make for good trailing and thinking out if the box for when perfect tow points arnt there. But i still have plenty of tow points just sayin.

October 20th works for me. May I suggest starting at 10 am?

 

[TheVolt]

Sounds great!

I can try to make arrangements for that day. I drove by Prescott this last week and realized I hadn't been down there in years. Good looking place for a hang out as long as there aren't any fish running.

My kids can't manage to be sick every weekend, can they? I'd love to see the PNW members be a closer community. Good on you for digging in.

Alright guys, I'll be posting the rally point here pretty soon. I drove out to Prescott Beach to make sure this was going to work for us and it definitely will. There's restrooms, a covered picnic area if the weather is sour, but also a nice big parking area on the beach that I think will be excellent as well. There is a $5 day use fee everyone will need to pay.
