OH GOSH. I just saw this, thanks to the post in the Foyer. If I can recruit some CA people to help share expenses, I'd love to do this, but that's dependent on recruiting some partners in crime.

So... I am tentatively excited.

I think so! And I order you to kidnap jdfunks and julialegume and bring them along as well.

This shiitake is now possible!!!!

it's looking more and more likely I'll be on this patch of dirt 'til August, so count me in! I'll make it happen somehow, haha. so long as there are smores, because apparently that's a thing on this edge of the planet

this sounds like so much fun! i don't have a car, so i sadly don't know if i can make it to most camping areas, but if i can help with any information near the olympia area, please let me know. here are a few resources that might be worth checking out:

i've never been to millersylvania state park, but it looks like it could be a wonderful spot.

here's a directory of more camping spots in the olympia area, and a page for washington in general.

I thought there was something about Millersylvania that I didn't like (I camped there maybe 5 years ago) but all I wrote in my camping book is that the campsites weren't very private. If we're looking at getting two or three adjoining sites, that might actually be favorable because it would be more like we were all camping together.

you GUYS! We really have to set a date or I can't come. Let's set a date!

monkeytoes · **Posted:** Thu Jun 21, 2012 9:30 pm

I'm good for the first or second weekend in August. I think panda was making a little list of people on page 2 who were up for the second weekend.

joshua · **Posted:** Thu Jun 21, 2012 10:18 pm

does anyone have anything AGAINST the second weekend in August? otherwise I say we just agree on that

Well I just want to butt into your thread and panda is spending the first week of August at the East coast veganstock in Asheville so...

I didn't think to ask until now, but are people okay with a toddler at this? She's generally pretty chill, but if you guys would rather not have a kid around we can bow out.

pandacookie · **Posted:** Fri Jun 22, 2012 12:33 am

haha. There didn't seem to be too much sustained interest. The second weekend in August was originally what was best for most interested parties.

I'm down with little'uns, and I can't imagine anyone else having a problem. all in favour? aye. consensus achieved! welcome wee little half-humans!

Yes to kids! How do we feel about dogs?

vijita · **Posted:** Fri Jun 22, 2012 9:06 am

Yes to kids and dogs!

katiejayne · **Posted:** Fri Jun 22, 2012 6:20 pm

You guys! I wish I could come. I like kids and dogs! And all of you! Blarg.

jdfunks · **Posted:** Fri Jun 22, 2012 9:34 pm

I can go when Vijita can go! Also, boo, KJ! : (

vijita · **Posted:** Sat Jun 30, 2012 10:47 am

Sorry guys, but I might need to bow out if we don't get something planned, date-wise. :( Working in tourism is no fun in the summers!

I think the second weekend in August worked for the most people, right? If I get some baby-free computer time today or tomorrow, I can book something. Not sure what will be available still, but does anyone have any more input on park selection?

joshua · **Posted:** Sat Jun 30, 2012 12:16 pm

no one seemed to object to that date, so let's commit to it. I have nothing to add in terms of sites/locations, but I'm happy wherever :) even if it's not perfect, the company will make it awesome. book it!

monkeytoes · **Posted:** Sat Jun 30, 2012 6:10 pm

I can commit to the second weekend. Book it!

lutin · **Posted:** Sun Jul 01, 2012 8:38 am

Damnit, vegans! I wish I were there. Or that this had happened in May when I passed through.

vijita · **Posted:** Sun Jul 01, 2012 10:52 am

Cool. I will try to be there. Two of my staff just quit (UGH) to collect EI instead, so I have kind of a shitstorm with scheduling, so I will remain a maybe.

Steffers! · **Posted:** Sun Jul 01, 2012 10:56 am

I'm going to try to make this! August is super, super crazy for me, so I'm still unsure. But I will try!!

So do you guys think two sites is enough? And are we thinking arrive on Friday and leave on Sunday or...?

Pinko · **Joined:** Tue Oct 19, 2010 9:42 pm **Posts:** 1661

Okay! We have two sites at Potlatch State Park, arriving on Friday the 10th and leaving Sunday the 12th. Yay! We can have a maximum of 16 people between the two sites, so I think we're good, yeah?

They are sites 22 and 23. One is supposed to be better than the other, so maybe if there aren't a ton of people we can kind of congregate in the good one. Anyway! Excited!

Oh, and we always borrow all my dad's camping stuff (because we are bums) so we will have sooooo much stuff. Like a full kitchen with a stove/lantern rigged to run on propane and an extra (big!) tent and and 3 or 4 cots and just like 60 years worth of camping crepe. So if anyone is light on gear, we've probably got you covered. Except for sleeping bags and chairs.
