Campout #2 - April 27-29

While we are all in the mood for making reservations (and praying for warm weather J), let's talk about campout #2.

April 27, 28, 29 at Bully Creek Reservoir in Vale, Oregon.

• Reservations are needed: (541) 473‐2969;
• Electric only although there are water spigots spaced out around the park.
• They fixed their dump site so we will be able to dump before leaving the park.
• Wagon masters: Rita & Jim – we have reserved site #10

I have reserved sites 5 (Beccie & Jim), 6, 9, 10 (Rita & Jim), and 11. Just mention the TUMBLEWEEDS when making your reservations (see park map).

They have also fixed the picnic area and replaced the cover over the picnic area so if anyone would like to take site #4, it's also available. The site is too large for us, but the picnic area would be a nice place to gather for dinner Saturday night if someone wanted be in that spot.

I'll send out directions and dinner information later, but thought you'd like to make the reservations before too much time passes.

And speaking of reservations, don't forgot to make your reservations for the joint campout with Mountain Home Desert Travelers – October 5-7 – at Three Island Crossing. We have reserved #67 in the Trailside Lower campground; Tino & Janet have site #66. Never too early to get a good spot!!!!

Only 55 more days!

Can't believe it's almost time for the 2018 camping season! Thank heavens the weather has been a lot nice than last year -- we are so ready to hit the road for some camping.

JUST A REMINDER: More information coming, but be sure to mark your calendars for our pre-season get-together on Saturday, March 17th at the Meridian KOA meeting room at noon. Rosemary is working hard to put together a nice little shindig for us! (And be sure to be wearin' of the green as it be St. Paddy's Day!)

The new schedule has been posted. Check the Camping Schedule 2018 link to the right. Attached is an updated camping schedule and information for 2018 as of Feb 10th. I am sure more changes will be coming as we still have 2 "surprise" campouts to plan (Mark & Emma, Nancy & Deb) and one that needs a Wagonmaster -- AND a site. If you would like to host the July 13-15 campout, let me know. We need someone to do the scouting and planning. Check out all the offerings in the Sawtooth and Southwestern Idaho Regions found at www.IdahoCampgroundReview.com. Sort by REGION and I'm sure someone could come up with something somewhere???!!! 

Let me know if you​ if you have questions. Looking forward to seeing all on March 17th.

Happy Camping --
