PNW Meet and Greet in June

[AndrewST]

Would have joined but will not be here, maybe next time if one is set up at the end of the season.

Well it looks like there are more Neys than Yehs with the meet-up date of the 19th of June. Maybe the date needs to be changed to draw more attendance. I live in the Gig Harbor area and would be interested in a Northwest Meet-up.

If this meet and greet is still on the calendar(?), TWOLOST + 1 is in.

I say it's on.

I also exchanged email with Peter (Velogeo) and he is expecting at attend as well.

I'll pull together some details and post this week. For those that can't make it, perhaps we can look at something else in Sept.

It will be great to see old friends and new.

If we are still on for this then time and directions (or address for GPS) would be good. We are still in it looks like.

Dang it! Looks like we will miss it by one day. The 19th we have plans to be on our way up to Whistler. The 18th would be perfect; we catch the 930 ferry from Victoria to Port Angeles.

Hmmm! maybe we could do some rearranging... just need a place to spend the nite.

Would be cool to attend the PNW greet from SoCal.

[CJ]

OK so as we re-think our plans We are looking for a place to camp the nights of 17,18,& 19. I messed up in the previous message, we will be comming from Victoria the morning of the 17th.

Your campgrounds are very busy in the PNW.

Got suggestions where to camp for the 17th?

On that same subject how about a place to camp later in the week around Whistler or close to it??

Thanks, we just might make the MnGreet.

Hey CJ,

Ha, you will get the long distance M&G award for sure! Sweet.

Here are some web links that I ran across while attempting to answer your question regarding places to camp. These links were chosen due to their proximity to the proposed M&G and Whistler, BC:

Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest

Wenatchee National Forest

Washington State Parks (search)

North & Central Cascades Region



As far as camping or boonedocking near Whistler... there just has to be something rad between Squamish and Lillooet. I have done a few day trips in the area on my motorcycle... including forest service roads - but I have not had the opportunity to camp in the area.

Camping - Squamish, Whistler, Pemberton & Lillooet BC

and if you know of or find a cool area to camp pass it along as that is on my short list of places to go with the SMB. I too have been motorcycling around there (most dual sport riding) but never camping nor with the SMB. Mt Baker has a lot of wilderness and is also on my short list as well.

Good luck.
