Hi, boatarefunus--

Say, where are ya located? If you're anywhere within traveling distance of
Hoodsport, WA (right on the Hood Canal), next weekend, you can have the chance
to see 13 Birds all in a row at the 4th Pacific Northwest Blue Bird Retreat.
Please see my post below. If you're interested, please e-mail me off-list, and I
can send you the original post with all the glorious, tempting details (you can
also find it in the archives from around July 1, 2005, but if it's easier, I can
e-mail it to you).

Welcome to the group!

Hi, everyone!

Just wanted to let you all know that we're up to a lucky 13 Birds for our
upcoming Hoodsport, WA retreat (Sept. 29-Oct. 3). Same weekend as the local
"OysterFest" celebration (quite something I'm told by those who've attended
previous fests: West Coast National Oyster-Shucking Contest, Washington State
Seafood Fair, live music on multiple stages, and arts and crafts)!

Nice, wide range o' Birds flyin' in from all over, including Washington state,
BC Canada, Oregon, California, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. Should be quite a
photo op to see all these Birds lined up:

'78 Wanderlodge
'79 FC 35 SB,
'82 FC 33
'83 FC 35 RB
'83 FC 35
'83 PT 35
'83 FC35SB
'84 PT36
'84 FC31
'88 PT40
'92 WLWB PT 40
'95 PT42
'96 Wanderlodge

The campground has been kind enough to hold open a 14th slot for us along the
waterfront campground overlooking beautiful Hood Canal. If you'd like to join
all these fine Blue Birder folks, please let me know ASAP!

If you missed the details, please see my original posting on this forum, or
e-mail me off-list, and I'll be glad to send that information to you.

Best regards,
