Time flies when you're having fun. ELEVEN ALREADY?

Please consider joining us in our celebration of good buses, good
food and good friends. This event has been held annually at Catherine
Creek State Park outside of Union Oregon on the first weekend
following Labor Day since Jack Maynard, Cris Torlasco and friends
joined a select group of Boise Bus Pilots here in 1997 and we decided
that we ought to do this again. Out of this gathering, WetWesties was
born.

The Catherine Creek Annual WetWesties/BusPilots ReUnion is happening
September 7-9 in the original WetWesties Campground, Catherine Creek
State Park, ten miles east of Union OR. <http://
www.oregonstateparks.org/park_17.php>

We already have the signed  "Miscellaneous Use Permit for
Nontraditional Park Activities." What this means is that we've
formalized what we've always done. I guess actually camping in a
State Campground is still nontraditional....

2 vehicles per campsite. That means that we can't triple up at the
site by the drinking fountain and quad up at the site by the bridge.
(If you've been here in previous years, you know where....)

As of last weekend, no campfires. Charcoal is okay though.  It rained
yesterday and a bit this morning, but not, I expect, to lift the fire
ban.

Lisa and I will collect the camping fees. When you arrive, just tell
the Camp Host that you're with WetWesties and they'll point you the
right direction. Multiple vehicles per site is fine (and expected).
Parking on the grass is NOT fine.

Fees, same as last year:
$8.00 regular fee + $5.00 extra vehicle fee = $13/site or $6.50/bus/
night.

If you haven't been out here before, take a look at the brochure
linked at the above website. We usually just get the campsites on the
center and right-hand loops. This year, I we have all sites from the
l/h bathrooms to the r/h end of the park.Plus Bev's site next to the
camp pay station.

Any questions? Lemme know.

See ya here....
