TUMBLEWEEDS: Spring is a-coming! And so is camping season!!!!

The camping season is coming soon. Personally, I can't wait! 

Daylight savings time starts next weekend, Spring starts on the 20th ... and our pre-season camping meeting is on the 14th of March. To everyone who has RSVP'd, thank you. I've heard from everyone except John & Nancy. Jim & I are looking forward to a fun get-together luncheon. 

The first campout is at Bully Creek and our wagon masters are Marcia & Dennis. I'm sure we'll be hearing from Marcia soon as to the plans for this campout. The good news from Vale, Oregon is that the Starlight Cafe has reopened. The bad news is that the hours are from 6:30 AM to 2:00 PM. So I'm sure that Marcia has a plan! 😁

I am sending along the calendar of events for all who can't find the last one I sent (like me!), but here's a quick list of what's coming between March and September. 

Let me know if you have any questions. I'll see most of you on the 14th.

Mark your calendars! Something fun is coming ...

Time is starting to move quickly into the "warm" season!!! 

Only 5 weeks until our yearly Pre-Season gathering to begin preparation for the upcoming camping season. We'll be meeting at noon on Saturday March 14th at Casa Mexico, 10332 W Fairview Ave # 104, Boise, ID 83704, (208) 375-0342. 

Please RSVP so I can have an accurate headcount. 

Then 5 weeks after that is our first campout of the season. Camphosts are Marcia and Dennis and they are holding their campout at Bully Creek in Vale, Oregon. I'm sure Marcia will be providing us with more information on that campout shortly. Are they taking reservations yet? 

Attached is a copy of the upcoming campout schedule. I'll update it as changes occur so let me know if you have any changes to make. Everyone should try to make their reservations as easy as possible to be sure you have a spot for each campout. 

As always, I'm here if you have any questions. I'm starting to count weeks instead of months ... then I'll be counting days! I LOVE camping season!

Also, the High Desert Travelers are thrilled with the earlier date in September for our joint campout this year. Warmer weather should help make it a better campout. 

Also they have a planned campout in March for St. Patrick's Day at Hagerman Village. It's the weekend of March 13-15. Let Mary Ann know if you would like to join them. murklema@msn.com

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone in March. 
Safe travels,

2020 Tumbleweeds Campout calendar

Happy Holidays to all of you! 

I'm a bit behind in getting information out but here we go. It's almost 2020, Spring is only 89 days away, and yes, I'm already thinking of the upcoming camping season! What can I say -- I like spring and summer better than winter!

Here is the upcoming campout information as I know it. If you have a TO BE DETERMINED campout, please send the information to me as soon as you can. Also, about 2-3 weeks before your campout, send out reminder and food information about your upcoming event. 

Let me know if you have any questions. Remember -- nothing is set in stone on these campout dates so I'll keep you updated as best I can. 

In the meantime, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all the Tumbleweeds. Looking forward to Camping Season 2020!

Take care,

Rita 😁
