Excellent. Now we just need to select a specific campground area, and hopefully get some members from OR and ID to commit to joining us - otherwise it won't be a tri state meetup!

Can someone who is familiar with our options post some information on specific sites in the area that can accomodate us? Sadly despite growing up in the area, I don't have that information myself..

I can scope out the area with Google earth to get a general idea, and post pictures of possibilities. All I need is a general idea of where the campgrounds are located and I can start zooming in with the satellite photos.

edit: Actually the satillite idea is a good one. If you want a more specific idea of park/campground conditions, rules, layout then I'm your man.

I don't think a date has been decided yet.

I'll nominate the weekend of July 18,19 or July 25,26 in the Tri Cities area. Either of those weekends should be far enough out to give most people enough time to request time off from work or whatnot, but still close enough to the present to be on peoples mind..

Other opinions?

July 25/26 being the weekend of Water Follies, the campground situation might be a bit sticky, and the odds of getting media attention would be a bit low. OTOH, there's a lot of stuff going on in town, so the fun quotient would be pretty high for anyone having to travel.

Either way, I'm in.

This is what we get for letting an out-of-towner (me) suggest the time and place. Argh! :)

I'd be fine with that. But really any weekend is good for me, my schedule is pretty open.

How do other people feel? Do we want to try and contend with the crowd of people in town for the hydroplane races? Although, some people might enjoy being able to go see the races. I haven't seen them in years, but they were pretty neat as I recall.

For those unfamiliar with the annual event:

We're rapidly approaching a point where this gets bumped to the next year if we don't act. August 1-2 was the last date mentioned. My schedule is pretty flexible. Any recommendations for a campground from people familiar with the area?
