We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Ok, regarding the Kitsap Sun.
Jim Bryant will be there to cover the event this Sunday. Josh Farley may also be there, he is the one that wrote the "More Kitsapers Packing Heat" article last Aug.
http://www.kitsapsun.com/news/2008/aug/30/packing-for-their-peace-of-mind/
He may or may not be there on Sunday to cover the event and talk to people. He is very interested in the fact that Kitsap County refuses to remove the "no guns in county parks" ordnance from their books, in violation of state law, and I may actually be meeting with him outside of this even to talk to him about it, according to his email he is willing to write an article about the county.
As for what to bring, I will wait and see what we need and make a run from there, Costco and Safeway are literally right around the corner from the park.
Looks like it will be a decent turn out this weekend, hope to see everyone there.

The nice thing is that Safeway is right around the corner, Costco is less than a mile from the park... I happen to live here in Silverdale, so if there is anything lacking, we can run and get it and be back before anyone notices anyone missing

Is there a designated plot or sight number we need to be aware of? Do we have some way to make sure we are not wandering into the picnic site of some poor family that happens to be in the park too?

Not really, there is a large covered area, and the rest of the park is open. I am thinking that the organizer will try and get the covered area in the morning, and as far as I know there is no reservations for it, being a park should be first come first serve.
That being said, there is not a ton of room at the park, but plenty of space for a picnic, so if we have a huge turn out, it may get interesting. The thing that will be interesting is that there is a large toy for kids, and the mothers LOVE to call stuff in to 911 like they own the park or something. The once called in a teen riding his bike to close to their children once, so it may get interesting in that respect as well. There should be plenty of parking, there is a dirt lot right next to the park, as well as a paved parking lot by the boat launch.

Here is an overview map of the park from Google Earth. Just to give everyone an idea of what we are looking at.

Silverdale's Waterfront Park is a Kitsap County Park. The following information is from their website.
Please do not be surprised if you get set up and are asked to leave the shelter area by another group who has it reserved, which is likely with the current weather pattern.
Good luck and have fun! Wish I could be there, but I have way to many family obligations this weekend.

Damn, I looked around and couldn't find reservation info.....i sure hope there wont be another group there. I will be there pretty early to make sure no other "first come first serve" groups show up.

Sorry, but the idea of paying for using a public park is reprehensible to me. It's already paid for with tax dollars.

Well......here comes the BIG GREEN WEENIE (Marine term for getting screwed) I may not be able to show up to my own event. The people that were supposed to relieve me decided they had more important things to do then work.:cuss::cuss:I may be able to make it but it is looking doubtful. I am very sorry to all but it doesn't look like I can get out of work this weekend. I will be calling the Kitsap parks service to see if the cover is available and to reserve it if at all possible but dont count on my original list of items that I will be bringing.AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH damn think for your selfers:banghead::banghead:

Do you want them to share because they see guns or to share because it is the neighborly thing to do...
I think it would be wrong tothink they would share because they saw legally carried weapons. We. most of us anyway, want to be treated like anyone else, despite our weapons.
I have reserved park space before and had others not only try to take it, but would ask us to share. I refused to share the space because i had a large group and , dammit, I paid for the use! They didn't.
