[Jacob Dryer]

Marked it on the calendar, and my wife is going to try not to be on call.

 

[Jerry Abson 3]

[Jerry Abson 3]

And thanks to Jacob for helping me with the linking. Hope to see you there! This might also help - If you access my files, you will find a file called "Golden Gardens Map.pdf". I can't get it to link here correctly. So open that and its a bit more information!

 

[Jacob Dryer]

I think you need to fix the links, they are all for Oak Harbor :wacko:

 

[Jerry Abson 3]

Ah crap! I am working on it now!

 

[Jerry Abson 3]

Alrighty then, All links are now accurate and correct!

 

[Doug Roland]

I'm going to try to talk the wife in to going up with me if we can work it in. We're in Oregon, so would be a bit of a drive, but sounds fun...and the closest meet to me I've seen.

 

[Jerry Abson 3]

Pappy, it would be great if you could make it, the more the merrier!

 

[Jerry Abson 3]

So, if you come to the park, when you come to the train overpass, make the very next right after going underneath, and you will see my white trac near site #1, there is a playground right next to it. And for your preview, a series of pictures showing the area we will have reserved.



Edit - Sorry bout the picture size, guess I didn't shrink em down correctly. And yes, sign says no dogs allowed, but then on another post is a sign that says dogs have to be leased. Yes, you can bring your dog. There is also a dog park just up the road, you will pass it coming into this park.

Looks like the family and I will be there, so lets get it rolling on what to bring and a body count.



2 adults and 2 infants, we will plan to bring hamburgers and veggie burgers (wife is a veggie so we need to cook hers first just as a side note.)

 

[Jerry Abson 3]

JD - Glad to hear you can make it! There are two grills under our shelter, so we can use one for the veggie burgers and still keep ours going.



So, I will be bringing Brats and Buns. I will also probably have some dew floating around. And in case we get rain (duh), I will bring a 10x10 shelter that we can use.



time for a head count and what to bring. As mentioned earlier, it isn't going to be a large gathering from my understanding (not alot of interest shown). With that said, I figure if everyone brings food for themselves and a little extra (potluck), we should be covered.



So, Count me in as one, possibly 4 (wife and kids may not be able to make it)

JD with wife and kids make 4



Please let me know who else is coming!

 

[Doug Roland]

My wife and ARE planning on going, but doesn't look as though there will be a large turn out...we are looking at a 4 1/2 to 5 hour drive and make a weekend out of it but sure would make it MORE worth while if there were more than 6 adults! We need to make reservations, but weather permitting and # of responses, will have to wait a few days before we set plans in stone.

 

[Jacob Dryer]

Pappy any chance you are ex-military? There are several bases with cheap lodging not far if so.

 

[Doug Roland]

No, I am not.

 

[Jerry Abson 3]

Pappy, yea, so far, not a lot of folks have made a commitment. Todd wants me to keep him abreast of reservations, but wont tell me why.:huh:



So, I will go ahead and count you and the misses in, I know thats not set in stone, but it would be great if you can make it.



I will continue calling for a roll call and see if we can't get more folks to show up!

 

[Jerry Abson 3]

So, JDBoxes and Pappy and Myself of course, Who else is gonna make it!



Lets see if we can't beat Todds meet!

 

[Fredness]

Wow - new here and this format makes my brain hurt....

New to the ST world, lifetime Ford Family with 2 previous Explorers and 1 Ranger under our belts.

I will pencil this in on the calendar, but it would be 2 adults, 1 Dog and the new Sport Trac :banana:

 

[Jerry Abson 3]

SWEET! Welcome to the site, and looking forward to meeting you!



Thats 8 adults, 4 kids, 2 dogs and 4 tracks! Were moving along!
