Bully Creek campout -- April 28-29-30

HELLO FRIENDS!!

Our next camp-out will be at Bully Creek Reservoir 10 miles West of Vale, OR on April 28, 29, 30, 2017.

Dinner Sat. night will be at the Starlite Cafe in Vale at 6:00 P. M. for anyone unable to make the camp-out, but wanting to enjoy a delicious dinner with us. I have reserved 5 sites for us, but if you have a site you prefer that is not on the list, feel free to reserve it. Be sure when you make your reservation to tell them you are with Tumbleweeds. The reserved sites I held are 3, 5, 6, 10, 11. Site #4 where the canopy was could be used by our group, if construction equipment is not there. The canopy partly collapsed due to the snow last winter and they hope to either have it fully rebuilt or be working on rebuilding during our camp-out. Dennis and I have reserved site ll. The phone number for reservations is 541-473-2969.

Bully Creek has power and a dump station available. Water is centrally located and should just be used to fill your tank. There are nice restrooms with showers for camping users. We hope the weather is good enough for a campfire Fri. and Sat., so if you have firewood to bring it will be appreciated.

DIRECTIONS:

From Vale, OR, proceed down the country road approximately 9 miles, turn right and follow road to check-in office and park. There are signs showing directions in Vale and we will put up our Tumbleweeds signs.

-We look forward to seeing everyone there. Please RSVP to 631-4435 or 345-4541.

Dennis and Marcia

Three Island Crossing -- not too early to make reservations.

Janet mentioned to me last week that it might be a good idea to remind everyone that campsites are reserved quickly and if you would like to join us for the joint campout, now would be a good time to make your reservations before all the good sites are gone. www.ReserveAmerica.com. I can guarantee you a really good time and some FANTASTIC entertainment on Saturday night.

Camping Season 2017 has officially begun for the Tumbleweeds! 

The first campout of the season was at Snake River RV Park in Homedale with hosts Rita & Jim who want to say THANK YOU to all those folks who braved the cold, wet weather to join us for this campout. 

The sun snuck out every now and then on Friday and Saturday -- along with intermittent rain. 

We snagged a warm. dry spot for dinner. After dinner, a meeting and much catching up on winter activities and family happenings. 

A little after dinner dessert. S'more are NOT just for the kids! 😉

Sunday dawned with a beautiful, sunny day which reminded us all why we love to camp. 

Roy and Rosemary left early so we didn't get a pic of Roy's new rig, but come see it at the next campout. It's quite a beauty.
