Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed
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.

Note: CCSP is in a canyon. Analog cell phone coverage is spotty and
digital is non-existent. Mom won't be able call you.

From Boise:
Just follow EJ, Brent, Chris and Lind. They know the best way. And
Mapquest doesn't! ;o)
From anywhere else:
You're going here (the little green rectangle on hwy. 203):

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.
