How many wish you could go back to pinedale???

Slow,

I have the picture in my signature hanging in my office.
Look at it every day and think about great camp outs in the past and dreaming about future camp outs
when I need a few minutes to de-compress.

Like "Mordor v3.1 September 13-16"coming up next...

 

[Sparksalot]

I need some ice cream.

And mountains.

Norma and I always look forward to Walk the Winds and Pinedale. Are we on for next year ? Lee and Norma

 

[capnTelescope]

Don't care where, haven't been to WTW yet. This year is the year! Just waiting for the announcement of the dates...

 

[Sparksalot]

Wishing every day Slow.

Reservations for New Fork Lake Group Campground cost $35 per day/night. Thursday July 18 to Saturday July 20, 2019 is already booked. All the other July, 2019 weekends are still available. Maybe someone who wants to attend Walk The Winds 2019 could make the reservation (on their credit card - to be repaid/reimbursed later), instead of Slow fronting the cost? Two days would cost $70.

It's an idea that could help make WTW 2019 happen.

The 4th of July weekend is an available three day (or longer) weekend. 7/12&13 and 7/26&27, 2019 are also available. Any of the three available weekends could be extended to be longer gatherings if people want to do it.

I posted the above information to help enable WTW to happen before the still available dates slip away. I live much too far away to attend. Teardrop gatherings are a lot of fun. Friends and I organized three SLO Gatherings that were well attended. Hope WTW 2019 happens and that we all can enjoy it whether we attend WTW, or vicariously enjoy reading about it and seeing photos and/or a video about it.

Okay, I'll volunteer. My preference would be Thurs, Fri & Sat, July 11, 12 & 13. , but any open weekend in July is fine by me. I like the extra day on the front end. Of course, if you're not there on Thursday, you don't owe me.

Let's take the next week to nail this down. Post to state your prefs, or can't-make-it dates. On Dec 26, I'll reserve the dates that includes Slow Cowboy and the most other people.

Hi Brad,

Thanks for offering to make a reservation for WTW 2019. All three weekends still available in July could have unreserved days before and after Sat. and Sun. I enjoyed meeting and chatting with you at IRG. I live much too far away from WTW to be able to attend.

I will try to go. I'll make whatever weekend work.

 

[capnTelescope]

Steve, it'd be good to see you again. You're closer than I am, I think. You're about 3 degrees farther north and about the same east-west offset. All you need is for the boss to give you a few days off.

 

[Sagebrush-SKO]

Just pick a weekend and go for it. There will always be some sourgrapes so don't let it bother you.

There is a little conversation starting here in Illinois. A few may be interested in coming in July. No promises yet, but pick a weekend and we will see if it can be fit into a trip.

pick a weekend

I like July 12-14 for 2 reasons: it's open, and the Cross Roads of America is on the weekend following. That makes it possible for those of us traveling vast distances to squeeze in another gathering, and it makes it possible for the Illinoisians to make both.

Are you checking the regular campsites, or the group site?

 

[Woodbutcher-TNT]

If July 12-14 is open, planning around CRA would make sense.

 

[Esteban-TNT]

Deleted - see information in next post

Every day in July, except July 18-20, is available for the group campground. The weekend of July 12-14 is still available. It would be one week before Crossroads of America 2019 scheduled on July 18-21 in Spencer, Indiana.

What are slowcowboy's thoughts?

Go for it! That's my idea! Slow.

Brad/capnTelescope initially favored reserving the group campground for Thursday, Friday and Saturday, July 11.12.& 13, 2019.

If Friday, Saturday and Sunday, July 12, 13, & 14, are reserved instead that takes up one travel day for people who may want to go to the Crossroads of America (CRA) gathering in Illinois the next weekend.

According to Google Maps CRA is about a 1428 - 1489 mile drive from New Fork Lake

There are 15 free camp sites adjacent to the New Fork Lake Group Campground that could be used by people who want to arrive early or stay later.

All righty, then! I touched base with Slow, and he's okay with all this.

We are now reserved at the New Fork Lake Group Campground from 2:00 PM, Thursday, July 11, 2019, thru 1:00 PM, Sun, Jul 14, 2019. If you get there before me and someone asks, it's Order Number 0176817118.

So don't just sit there, start making plans! Hoping to meet a whole bunch of you there this summer.

 

[Sparksalot]

Hmmmm. making a note.
