Hi
Who's out there that wants to go camping nearby?
Hood canal area, south sound or ?
I'd like to meet people near by me for impromptu or planned camping weekends.
I have a converted cargo.

Peace
Susan

Hi Susan,
We're going to the Gorge Gathering over the Memorial Day weekend.

Take a look at the "Teardroppers of Oregon and Washington" website at http://www.teardroptrailers.org, lots of gatherings and other info.

Herb :)

If all goes according to plan, I will be taking delivery of my little gem on Saturday, June 1 -- and will promptly be heading to Tolt-McDonald County Campground ( http://www.kingcounty.gov/recreation/pa ... onald.aspx ) to spend Saturday & Sunday night there with another friend who recently got a travel trailer. I have stayed at this campground before and I must say it is a well kept secret. Lots of amenities and very nice trailer spots - lots of privacy. My teardrop will be a 6X10 Little Guy Silver Shadow on a Rough Rider frame -- I am very excited about it and have been lurking for a while. I had to wait for my trailer - since it is a little off the beaten path. I also have a weekend in June at Lincoln Rock State Park near Wenatchee -- I just tent camped there and it was GORGEOUS!! Had never been there and can't wait to get my trailer over there!!!

Hope to meet some fellow PNW Teardroppers.........and hope to have some pics to post the weekend of June 1......

Susan -

Got my TD and LOVE it -- had her out for her "shakeout" voyage!! Was at Tolt-McDonald Park (Carnation, WA) this past W/Th. I will be at Alpine RV in Marblemount, WA (along the Skagit River on Hwy 20) next weekend - leaving after work Friday and staying til Sunday mid-morning. I bet there are some spots -- have not been there but read nice things about the park and they have elec/water/restrooms/showers.

This thread seems to have gone dormant -- I really liked the idea of posting "spur of the moment" trips and whatnot.....

Travel Safe,

Tim

If you are headed into a particular area then call the Ranger Station First. One roads by Lake Wenatchee was closed a couple of weeks for Logging and you couldn't get to a large section of camping. You could camp by the Lake in one of the big camp grounds but getting to the free campgrounds was impossible. :cry:
