Welcome Ohioann....I am just getting started in my spinning adventure...and would love some hints!! I will try to remember to bring my wheel, and wool...and cards. :/
July 9-10 works best for us, but we can be flexible. We would just be coming for the Saturday "meet and greet" because we have to get back home to care for the critters. I "think" you guys are only about an hour away from us.
I would LOVE to come. I might have to do a little to get it done however, hubby's new schedule at work means it is hard to get time off when He needs it.
Okay, so I'm in Oregon, and I would LOVE a west coast one. I get back from Costa Rica ant the end of July, so the beginning of August would be perfect for me (or, if I don't get a place in the study abroad trip, ANYTIME would work well for me ) So how many west coasters do we have interested? We could do a coast trip, and if the tides cooperate, maybe some crabbing? There are lots of state parks along the coast that have free camping... central coast is usually ideal, near Newport tends to have the best weather.
How many people are interested? Any suggestions for parks from the Oregonians? Or, I could do the leg work and look up all the parks, but it's finals week for me right now, so it would be a bit slow in coming. As for food, I can do a lot of the accommodations, my family has lots of outdoor cooking pots and burners and so forth. Some propane and life is good!
So Dace, BBH, all you Washington/Oregon/California people, how's it sound?
Edited to say- it looks like a LOT of the coast state parks are charging now, and have put in electrical lines and so forth. Not terribly SS. Are people averse to maybe cascades area? There is BEAUTIFUL camping up there. So instead of crabbing, there would be fishing and crawdadding. I know the BLM and park department land in the high cascades really, really well. And a couple creeks that I might be willing to share where they are to people.... as long as you promise not to show too many other people!
I would certainly consider it. I already have a trip planned this year and don't know, if I can swing 2 trips.
We might want to start a seperate thread for this.
