Just a reminder. September 8-10. Exactly four weeks from today we'll be savoring the good times we had at the TENTH anniversary of WetWesties' inaugural gathering, The WetWesties/Bus Pilots ReUnion at Catherine Creek State Park (CCSP) in Union, OR. (Actually the first one was a "Union." Since then it's been a ReUnion...) Please consider joining us in our celebration of good buses, good food and good friends. This event has been held yearly at Catherine Creek State Park outside of Union Oregon on the first weekend following Labor Day since Jack, Cris and friends joined a select group of Boise Bus Pilots here in 1996. Lisa and I will coordinate the camping fees. When you arrive, just tell the Camp Host that you're with WetWesties and they'll point you the right direction. Cost will be $6.50/vehicle/night. Multiple vehicles per site is fine. Parking on the grass is NOT fine. Too early to tell if we'll be able to have open fires. The fire danger is currently high, but I saw a herd of young bucks in town this morning. Fall may come early and it did rain a couple days ago. State Park Info: <http://www.oregonstateparks.org/park_17.php> Note: CCSP is in a canyon. Analog cell phone coverage is spotty and digital is non-existent. Mom won't be able call you.

They know the best way. And Mapquest doesn't! ;o) From anywhere else: You're going here (the little green rectangle on hwy. 203): <http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp? address=&city=Union&state=OR&zipcode=&country=US&title=%20Union%2c% 20OR%20US&cid=lfmaplink2&name=> If you get here early, and you've not been here before, we own the east end of the campground. Drive to the end of the park and pick a spot. (But not by the bridge. That's MINE!) Double up at will. Triple up if you need, but STAY OFF THE GRASS! (I promised...) If you haven't been here before, you might also enjoy this for a little background: <http://wetwesties.type2.com/2003/re-union- observer.htm> As always plan on a potluck Saturday night and if we can get it together, a potluck b'fast Sunday AM. Lisa will be happy to answer any food questions! <whitedov@eoni.com> So please! Put it on your calendar. We look forward to seeing all our old friends. Both those we know and those we haven't yet met. Jim & Lisa Arnott WetWesties Union, OR |
