Dick and Joyce--
Oh, my gosh! I am SO sorry! Sometimes I go through periods where I just can't keep up with the forum. Right now, we're in the middle of a major landscape installation (and keeping it alive in heat waves!) plus I'm presently involved in a lot of community work. I just want everyone to know that we would love to have as many Blue Birds as possible at the Hoodsport, WA retreat, and there should be plenty of room. To be safe, I'll confirm this tomorrow with the campground, and get back to you. I have the Blue Bird e-mails sent to a dedicated folder, which I try to diligently check. Bless this forum--there is so much communication going on, and that's a good thing, but I may have missed your e-mails trying to scan such a large volume that comes through from the forum! Also, with my eye problems (I was having trouble seeing with my old glasses, a problem that just got fixed), I may have missed your e-mail because of that. Anyway, I do apologize for having missed your e-mail. Dick and Joyce, there should be plenty of room for you at our Hoodsport retreat, and I will add you to the list of attendees. We will so look forward to meeting you there! It's a wonderful little campground that I know you'll enjoy, and the PNW Blue Birders are just the best! Everyone on the forum, just to be on the safe side, if you are communicating about the Hoodsport, WA rally to the group, could you also please add a CC to josl@...? I'll be sure to see that. Again, with all apologies and also very best regards, Jo-Ski (and Stew) (360) 371-0301 '83-FC 35 RB "The Bird Abides" Blaine, WA -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard Hayden To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, July 27, 2006 11:28 AM Subject: Re: [WanderlodgeForum] Rally Hi There Jo-Ski!

ALL BLUE BIRDERS WELCOME! Hi, folks! Well, enough of the gang have expressed interest in having a 4th retreat this year again at the good ol' Rest-A-While campground hugging the beautiful Hood Canal, so I come for to tell ya that I'm gonna go for organizin' it again this year. Last year we had a wonderful flock of 11 Blue Birders from not only Washington State, but also Oregon, Wisconsin, and BC, Canada. 3 more Birds, including one from Southern California and one from the Gulf Islands, had signed on, but couldn't make it due to last-minute coach problems, so we sure hope to see you folks this year! If we get 10 or more Birds, the owner hosts a free oyster barbecue for us on Saturday afternoon. Besides the coach tours and our traditional Saturday night potluck, this retreat will include some new (surprise) group activities that we hope will be fun for all! Anyway, here are the full details, and we hope you're gonna be just lovin' it! Dates: Oct. 6-7, 2006 (same weekend as the area's annual OysterFest--the West Coast Oyster-Shucking Contest and Washington State Seafood Fair) Campground: Rest-A-While RV Resort, Marina, and Dive Center 27001 N US Highway 101 Hoodsport WA 98548 (360) 877-9474 Toll Free: (866) 637-9474 Website: http://www.restawhile.com/<http://www.restawhile.com/> (check out the photos on the home page for an idea of the area's natural beauty) Please note: Again, the campground has asked that you use me as your contact person instead of each person calling them individually. Only about 30 spots along the water, so please let me know ASAP if you're in! Like last year, we will have the spots right along the water (yippee!), facing the beautiful Hood Canal. The campsites are about 30 feet from water's edge, with full power (30-amp)/water-sewer hook-ups plus cable TV. Right in front of you at water's edge is a private oystering/clamming beach run by the campground (originally seeded with Pacific Oysters from Japan--quite a change from what is carried in a lot of markets, and they're just scrumptious). We have reserved a nice little clubhouse a few steps away for things like the Saturday evening potluck in case of inclement weather, and we also have a fire pit plus a facility with Internet connection capabilities. (Also, they've just installed wireless capability this year.) As many of you may know, this "canal" is really a natural channel, not a man-made canal--a historical glitch in interpreting the exploratory maps/notes resulted in "channel" being mistakenly identified as "canal" and hence, the current nomenclature. According the campground brochure, Hood Canal is actually one of the only two glacier-carved fjords in the lower U.S. (the other being in Maine), with most of the world's fjords in Norway. You'll find the natural beauty of Hood Canal just spectacular! We're hoping the area's year-round resident Orca pod might be visiting the canal when we're there. Last year, the pod gave the campground a grand show in the canal for several weeks (photos on their Website). So,we have the possibility of our own whale-watching extravaganza just yards from where we're camped! Also, according to the Dive Center at the resort, some of the world's largest octopi have been photographed in the canal. That same weekend, Oct.7-8, is OysterFest, a gala that includes the West Coast Oyster-Shucking Contest and Washington State Seafood Fair. This is held at the Mason County Fairgrounds, a few miles down Highway 101 from the campground. In addition to the seafood-related events, the festival offers an art fair and non-stop music on multiple stages plus special concerts of classical and sacred music at local churches. For you wine buffs, the Hoodsport Winery is just a few miles down the road and hosts wine-tastings. There's also a neat little area with great shops and galleries. Please let me know as soon as possible if you are coming because, like last year, 2 other RV clubs have already reserved the rest of the campground across the highway for that weekend, so we again lucked out getting the beachfront sites. Just think of it--camping right on the water, natural beauty, possible Orca sightings, oyster-feeds, festivals, music, art, and, as always, plenty of Bird-talk and camaraderie! Does that sound great, or what?! COME ONE, COME ALL FROM EVERYWHERE! IT'S GONNA BE ANOTHER GREAT RETREAT WITH A SWELL BUNCH OF PNW BIRDERS AND, WE HOPE, FRIENDS OLD AND NEW! (Dave Beatty, could you please forward this to Bruce's forum? Many thanks!)

Bruce and Wilma,
I just sent an apology to Dick and Joyce, and I echo that apology to you folks for somehow having missed your e-mail on this. As I said to Dick and Joyce, there should be plenty of room for you at Hoodsport, and I will confirm this with the campground tomorrow morning, just to be safe. Again, we would just love to see as many Blue Birds there as possible, and I know you're gonna love the campground and the PNW group! And the PNW Blue Birders are gonna love meeting you! Again, everyone on the forum, just to be on the safe side, if you are communicating about the Hoodsport, WA rally to the group, could you also please add a CC to josl@...? I'll be sure to see that.

Hi Jo-Ski,
Thanks for your reply and we, too, are very anxious to meet you all. In your message you said "To be safe, Ill confirm this tomorrow with the campground, and get back to you." So far we haven't heard back from you and are concerned that we may not have a spot. Should I call the campground direct. I tried to do this way back in April and they told me that you were the point of contact. Please let us know as soon as possible so we can complete our plans.

ALL BLUE BIRDERS WELCOME! Hi, folks! Well, enough of the gang have expressed interest in having a 4th retreat this year again at the good ol' Rest-A-While campground hugging the beautiful Hood Canal, so I come for to tell ya that I'm gonna go for organizin' it again this year. Last year we had a wonderful flock of 11 Blue Birders from not only Washington State, but also Oregon, Wisconsin, and BC, Canada. 3 more Birds, including one from Southern California and one from the Gulf Islands, had signed on, but couldn't make it due to last-minute coach problems, so we sure hope to see you folks this year! If we get 10 or more Birds, the owner hosts a free oyster barbecue for us on Saturday afternoon. Besides the coach tours and our traditional Saturday night potluck, this retreat will include some new (surprise) group activities that we hope will be fun for all! Anyway, here are the full details, and we hope you're gonna be just lovin' it! Dates: Oct. 6-7, 2006 (same weekend as the area's annual OysterFest--the West Coast Oyster-Shucking Contest and Washington State Seafood Fair) Campground: Rest-A-While RV Resort, Marina, and Dive Center 27001 N US Highway 101 Hoodsport WA 98548 (360) 877-9474 Toll Free: (866) 637-9474 Website: http://www.restawhile.com/<http://www.restawhile.com/><http://www.restawhile.com\ /<http://www.restawhile.com/>> (check out the photos on the home page for an idea of the area's natural beauty) Please note: Again, the campground has asked that you use me as your contact person instead of each person calling them individually. Only about 30 spots along the water, so please let me know ASAP if you're in! Like last year, we will have the spots right along the water (yippee!), facing the beautiful Hood Canal. The campsites are about 30 feet from water's edge, with full power (30-amp)/water-sewer hook-ups plus cable TV. Right in front of you at water's edge is a private oystering/clamming beach run by the campground (originally seeded with Pacific Oysters from Japan--quite a change from what is carried in a lot of markets, and they're just scrumptious). We have reserved a nice little clubhouse a few steps away for things like the Saturday evening potluck in case of inclement weather, and we also have a fire pit plus a facility with Internet connection capabilities. (Also, they've just installed wireless capability this year.) As many of you may know, this "canal" is really a natural channel, not a man-made canal--a historical glitch in interpreting the exploratory maps/notes resulted in "channel" being mistakenly identified as "canal" and hence, the current nomenclature. According the campground brochure, Hood Canal is actually one of the only two glacier-carved fjords in the lower U.S. (the other being in Maine), with most of the world's fjords in Norway. You'll find the natural beauty of Hood Canal just spectacular! We're hoping the area's year-round resident Orca pod might be visiting the canal when we're there. Last year, the pod gave the campground a grand show in the canal for several weeks (photos on their Website). So,we have the possibility of our own whale-watching extravaganza just yards from where we're camped! Also, according to the Dive Center at the resort, some of the world's largest octopi have been photographed in the canal. That same weekend, Oct.7-8, is OysterFest, a gala that includes the West Coast Oyster-Shucking Contest and Washington State Seafood Fair. This is held at the Mason County Fairgrounds, a few miles down Highway 101 from the campground. In addition to the seafood-related events, the festival offers an art fair and non-stop music on multiple stages plus special concerts of classical and sacred music at local churches. For you wine buffs, the Hoodsport Winery is just a few miles down the road and hosts wine-tastings. There's also a neat little area with great shops and galleries. Please let me know as soon as possible if you are coming because, like last year, 2 other RV clubs have already reserved the rest of the campground across the highway for that weekend, so we again lucked out getting the beachfront sites. Just think of it--camping right on the water, natural beauty, possible Orca sightings, oyster-feeds, festivals, music, art, and, as always, plenty of Bird-talk and camaraderie! Does that sound great, or what?! COME ONE, COME ALL FROM EVERYWHERE! IT'S GONNA BE ANOTHER GREAT RETREAT WITH A SWELL BUNCH OF PNW BIRDERS AND, WE HOPE, FRIENDS OLD AND NEW! (Dave Beatty, could you please forward this to Bruce's forum? Many thanks!)

No problem Jo, I just wanted to make sure you got it. Hope your landscaping
turns out perfect. It's a big job, especially with the heat we've been having here. See you soon, Joyce ----- Original Message ----- From: Jo-Ski To: Richard Hayden Sent: Saturday, August 05, 2006 3:18 PM Subject: Re: [WanderlodgeForum] Rally Joyce-- My apologies--I see that you did e-mail me at my personal e-mail address after all. I don't know why it didn't come through to me. I think what happened was that your message got automatically sorted into a Blue Bird folder in my e-mail--that's the folder I have a hard time keeping up with! I think it's wonderful all the communication that does go on among forum members, but I'm swamped with so many other things in my life that I can't keep up with the Blue Birders all the time!

I checked with the campground, and there are still plenty of spots. You're just fine--you have a spot at the Hoodsport retreat--no problem. I'm sorry to not get back to you sooner--again, if you have questions, please remember to e-mail me at my individual e-mail address. Looking forward to meeting you and Dick in October!

I am SO sorry! Sometimes I go through periods where I just can't keep up with the forum. Right now, we're in the middle of a major landscape installation (and keeping it alive in heat waves!) plus I'm presently involved in a lot of community work. I just want everyone to know that we would love to have as many Blue Birds as possible at the Hoodsport, WA retreat, and there should be plenty of room. To be safe, I'll confirm this tomorrow with the campground, and get back to you. I have the Blue Bird e-mails sent to a dedicated folder, which I try to diligently check. Bless this forum--there is so much communication going on, and that's a good thing, but I may have missed your e-mails trying to scan such a large volume that comes through from the forum! Also, with my eye problems (I was having trouble seeing with my old glasses, a problem that just got fixed), I may have missed your e-mail because of that. Anyway, I do apologize for having missed your e-mail. Dick and Joyce, there should be plenty of room for you at our Hoodsport retreat, and I will add you to the list of attendees.

come by to look at some Wanderlodge's(I live in Thibodaux). Would anybody be offended if I just want to look at different models? We're trying to decide exactly what we want so that we can get serious about buying. Any other owners in southeast LA that wouldn't mind us coming over to look at their coach?
