Update: 10th Annual WetWesties/BusPilots ReUnion
Six days to go!
As of yesterday afternoon, according to the ranger head office,
campfires are permitted in Catherine Creek State Park. I'm going up
and forewarn the camp host that we're on our way and get the latest
info from "on the ground." Still, just to cover the bases, you
probably want to pack charcoal. All it takes is one little lightening
strike and all bets are off. (Just got back from introducing the Camp
Host to WetWesties. Campfires are on!)
Seven day forecast says mid-eighties daytime and mid-forties
nighttime. Dry.
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.

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.
