2007 PNW Bird Tentative Rally Schedule

[Dave Beatty]

The PNW Bird's tentative Rally plan for 2007 is below.

Tokeland - End of May or early June
BUSNUSA Rally in Salem Oregon - July
Port Hudson - August
Hoodsport - October

This is the rough schedule. I am considering a quarterly No Host
Breakfast in Fife Washington since they have a CampingWorld that
perople can vist after the meeting. Maybe meeting on a Saturday for
Breakfast at Denny's (Or ??) to get some Rally Planning done. Anyone
with a BlueBird or that wants a BlueBird will be encouraged to
attend the No Host Quarterly Event. Hey ... I may drive my Bird to
give future Bird Owner the chance to see a Bird. More info to be
posted later.

Hi, Dave (and all)--

Are we assuming the same folks to coordinate repeat rallys for places we've been
before (e.g., I'll be glad to take on coordinating Hoodsport again next year)? I
assume Bob G. would coordinate Tokeland again?

What about coordinators for the Salem and Pt. Hudson rallys, por favor? I don't
know about the Salem campground, but we stayed at Pt. Hudson on the way home
from Hoodsport last weekend. Wowee--is it a bee-u-ti-ful campground! Situated
right on the water and only within a few blocks' walking distance from historic
Port Townsend (fantastic shops, galleries, restaurants all in a town that is one
of only a few places on the National Historic Register--they've preserved that
much of their history and old buildings)! I would imagine the Pt. Hudson
campground will fill up fast for August, so could someone from the PNW group
please volunteer to coordinate Pt. Hudson and maybe even start working on it
fairly soon? I'd do it, but I can't handle two rallys right together.

Anyway, at Pt. Hudson, we were parked looking right at the ocean and Mt. Baker.
About 7:30 PM, on a fairly clear, starlit evening, a festively-lit up Washington
State Ferry was passing right in front of Mt. Baker, with a full moon coming up
right behind the mountain (you know, like when whatever optical illusion is
happening to make the moon look like a huge, orange sphere). Argh! It was the
photo of a lifetime, but I couldn't snap the shot because I'd forgotten the
re-charger for our camera battery!! I ate my heart out, but at least we got to
see that sight!

Also, nice idea on the no-host breakfasts (or how about brunch--for those of us
coming from much farther north?!).

1) I mentioned the 2007 Port Hudson Retreat to Allen Powell as I
left 2006 Hoodsport (Rest-A-While) Retreat and he said that he would
happy to be the coordinator.

2) A quarterly Saturday Brunch or Lunch would be great to give long
distance folks time to travel. I have noticed that there are many
PNW BlueBird WANNABEE's in the PNW Area. I plan to drive my Bird to
show (off) to any Bird WANNABEEs that decide to attend the Quarterly
meeting / No Host Bruch/Lunch Meal.

Jo / Dave / PNW Blue Birders,

Cathy and I assumed that, since it was our suggestion that the July rally
could be at the Bus N USA rally at Rickreal Oregon, that we would be the hosts
for that get together. In the past, Blue Birds have been dwarfed in
attendance numbers by other bus types. It would be nice to have a good showing
here.

After the first of the year, (January or February) we will post more info on
upcoming events for this years rally and registration instructions.

Hi, all--

I wasn't sure who had made the original suggestion for BUSNUSA, so didn't have
any assumptions about who would coordinate--great that you'll be handling that
one, Steve and Kathy!

Just to let everyone know, Corrie and Jim E. are checking into possibly hosting
a PNW rally at La Conner, WA during the area's annual Skagit Valley Tulip
Festival (2007's festival is not yet scheduled, but it's usually during
March-April). That is a beautiful show of the area's tulip, daffodil, and other
spring flower fields. They've asked me to be their "e-mail assistant" in just
getting the word out over e-mail, sending updates, etc.

With regard to actual dates, it sounds like the only rally with a fixed date is
BUSNUSA (and, if folks still want the Hoodsport rally to occur during the area's
OysterFest, that, too, would be fixed-date). Just a suggestion--depending on
what Corrie and Jim find out, should we perhaps think about spacing out the La
Conner, Tokeland, and Pt. Hudson rallys so they're not too close together? I
think last year's Pt. Hudson rally was not well-attended because it was so close
on the heels of the well-attended Tokeland rally, and many of us just didn't
have time to re-group to go out on the road again so soon.

Thanks!
