Subject: SUNNYCAMP 2005 From: GUEST,M. Garvey Date: 11 Aug 05 - 05:51 PM Hi..I will be stopping in from time to time to check on this thread, but it is best if you contact me by email at mgarvey@pacifier.com. Anyway, Sunnycamp is coming up soon. It will be September 30, and October 1 and 2 this. That should guarantee us a bit sunnier weather. This is a music camp in Southwest Washington State, USA. Lewis and Clark slept here. It is a very beautiful and historical part of the state, and there are a number of L&C events going on around this time. Cost will be $50 for adults for Friday, Sat. and Sunday. Leave Sunday afternoon. Costs will be prorated for shorter stays or if you prefer luxurious motels to unheated cabins. That is for food and bunks in simple cabins. There is a nice main lodge with fireplace (lodge is a loose term) and sort of a boathouse that can be used for music in addition, plus hopefully a little teahouse. It is right on beautiful waterfront on Willapa Bay. It is about 3.5 hours from Seattle and 2.5 or 3 from Portland. The camp is an old church camp, just bought by 4H and being remodeled. The kitchen might be torn up when we are there but we will have electricity and refer. We might have to do some very creative cooking. Website is http://www.angelfire.com/folk/sunnycamp/. The camp is usually much smaller than other camps, 30 or so people. Hope you can make it. mg |

Subject: RE: SUNNYCAMP 2005 From: GUEST,m. garvey Date: 15 Aug 05 - 01:32 PM Hi..yes.I am basically gone but I will check in from time to time. We are getting a bit more interest this year it seems. Good news, the kitchen will not be torn up till after camp so cooking should be as before...a decrepid but funcitoning kitchen. If people can help spread the word that would be great. I am the weakest link here. I thought I had posted a url but looks like not. I'll post an address for the checks in a bit. It's a bit early to send money. mg |

Subject: RE: SUNNYCAMP 2005 From: David Ingerson Date: 15 Aug 05 - 09:06 PM Hi Mary, I'd love to be there but I still don't know when the Corvallis FS campout is at Silver Falls. If it doesn't conflict, I'll be there! Here's hoping. David |

Subject: RE: SUNNYCAMP 2005 From: open mike Date: 16 Aug 05 - 12:32 PM checking to see maps, etc--here is what i found http://www.visit.willapabay.org/ is this it? Ocean Park Retreat? http://www.willapabay.org/~opretreat/pages/morehead_park.htm http://www.nwsource.com/travel/scr/tf_destination.cfm?ct=28&pagect=WA http://www.longbeachwa.com/ |

Subject: RE: SUNNYCAMP 2005 From: GUEST,mg Date: 16 Aug 05 - 01:58 PM Definitely not ocean park retreat but close. It used to be owned by the same camp I think. It is camp morehead in nahcotta. Look up Nahcotta or I will try to post some nahcotta links at some point It is very very pretty there. Sounds like quite a few people are interested earlier than ever..I think moving the date up helps and we made sure not to conflict with the Jewish holy days as we have in the past....so hope everyone can come. If you insist on sending money, I can't stop you...M. Garvey, 2907 Pioneer Road, Long Beach, WA 98631. It will be prorated if you don't stay the full time and you are welcome to pay the day fee and come for the day. Just email me at work..my home computer is dying...mgarvey@wsu.edu for a price. mg |

Subject: SUNNYCAMP 2005 From: GUEST,mg Date: 27 Aug 05 - 09:32 PM Beats me but I can never find old messages in the forum...oh well, here is a new one. We are actually doing well with this year's Sunnycamp...earlier interest and actual money coming in than in the past. We will have the full use of the kitchen, which is good. We should have a water color class offered. We are the week before the Getaway so you can come here first and then go back east. Weather is just gorgeous right now and salmon are running and huckelberries are ripe. Just email me at mgarvey@wsu.edu for more info. Dates Sept 30 and Oct 1 and 2, and cost is $50 for weekend, includes food. Less if you stay in a motel (cabins are unheated) or come for a shorter stay. It looks like this is not a direct conflict with Silver Falls, so again, come to both...I think it will be a lot of fun again as it has been in the past.... mg |

Subject: RE: SUNNYCAMP 2005 From: open mike Date: 28 Aug 05 - 02:19 AM yes it is wierd about the old messages, isn't it? I refreshed several of them, 2004, 2003, and now most of those are missing in action. well, glad you started a new one! see you there! |

Subject: RE: SUNNYCAMP 2005 From: mgarv Date: 28 Aug 05 - 08:37 PM Are you coming then for sure? Hooray....that means anyone else in California, Idaho, Washington and Oregon and British Columbia can also come....should be fun..modest in scope but fun... Can you chop down some trees on the way? I am starting to wonder about the firewood situation with the change in ownership of the camp. But we'll get some. mg |

Subject: RE: SUNNYCAMP 2005 From: GUEST Date: 28 Aug 05 - 09:18 PM Iwent to Rainy Camp this year and really enjoyed it. Am thinking about doing Sunny Camp also and wonder if any of the fine people I met at Rainy Camp will be there also? Malcolm in California ( Dave Perasso's Mate) |

Subject: RE: SUNNYCAMP 2005 From: mgarv Date: 28 Aug 05 - 09:32 PM Yes. They will all be there as will everyone from Singtime Frolics and Camp Alexandra. There will be lots and lots of people. You will also probably get to hear about the tape Stewart started at Rainycamp..and maybe we can persuade him to record a bit here too..who knows. No, actually it is similar to Rainycamp because they both follow the same general camp plan that is pretty common to northwest camps..potluck and song circle Friday evenings, workshops on Saturday, followed by nice dinner, followed by concert...general chaos on Sunday..maybe workshops...last year we had a great jam session as the sun came out over beautiful Willapa Bay...We share chores, which aren't bad really...the camp is a bit rundown but not bad..it was just bought by 4H and is gong to be remodeled a bit... It is a smaller group..has run about 30 but if I get off my duff and spread the word better (and I will appreciate anyone with any email lists or radio shows etc. helping to spread the word) it might be larger this year. More interest from Olympia, Port Townsend, Shelton etc. It always either directly conflicts or is too close to an event that Portlanders go to (I won't tell you in case you go to that instead..but this year you could stay for a week and go to both). I also just found out that the bridge walk across the Columbia River is on for Sunday October 2. you can walk across the Columbiia River...great news for hikers..bad if you are in a hurry to get back to Portland early...but it is just down for a couple of hours I think. Well, you can't beat the price ... $50 for the weekend..includes food..which if I say so myself has been pretty good in the past..I think we have had great cooks outdoing themselves..and with a small group the kitchen lends itself to people getting creative. Just email me at mgarvey@wsu.edu I'd rather people didn't use my mgarvey@pacifier.com address because my home computer is not working right now and it is hard for me to read via web. Also, let me remind people to really really watch for deer on the roads..bear too but they are quite rare.... If you come up from Portland and day is early and weather is clear, I really recommend coming up the Washington side..you can drive to Longview and then take Ocean Beach highway all the way..or drive to Westport and take ferry over to Puget Island. Really pretty. I have some songs about the area, which is probably one of the most beautiful places on earth...the lower Columbia River. If you are interested in Lewis and Clark history, history of northwest in general..this is the place to come. Oh, and we also sing really pretty, or have in the past. The music has been extremely enjoyable. mg |

Subject: RE: SUNNYCAMP 2005 From: David Ingerson Date: 29 Aug 05 - 05:24 PM I just found out last night that SunnyCamp will not be in conflict with Silver Falls this year! Hooray! I'm planning on being there. I'll get back to you after I clear it with my family--they return tonight. David |
|
Subject: RE: SUNNYCAMP 2005 From: mgarv Date: 30 Aug 05 - 02:03 PM They will of course want to attend with you..horses and all ....just joking but in the future who knows...it is turned over to a 4H camp soon and they are planning at least for small animal shows etc. So you can bring your little lamb etc. I am really excited...it looks like a great mix of new and old people...mg |

Subject: RE: SUNNYCAMP 2005 From: Genie Date: 30 Aug 05 - 10:15 PM Looks like I'll be able to come, Mary. Now to see if I can find someone to carpool with. It's always a good idea, economically and ecologically, but with gas approaching $3/gal., it's an idea whose time has really come, I think. Genie |

Subject: RE: SUNNYCAMP 2005 From: open mike Date: 31 Aug 05 - 02:30 AM what did you find out about dogs? |
|
Subject: RE: SUNNYCAMP 2005 From: GUEST Date: 31 Aug 05 - 03:41 PM Maybe dogs can come if they sing or play an instrument? ;-D |
|
Subject: RE: SUNNYCAMP 2005 From: mgarv Date: 31 Aug 05 - 04:15 PM Open mike gets to bring her dog from California...and I'll just hope we don't get in trouble..but please no one else. This is an exception because of the long distance she has to travel and she of course will assure us that the dog does not bark, poop etc. So it wil be the official watchdog...but if you live in the local area then we absolutely can't have other dogs, cats, etc. Genie, I am thrilled you will be coming...David..interested in a carpool? I know there should be others coming from Portland.. mg |

Subject: RE: SUNNYCAMP 2005 From: Stewart Date: 01 Sep 05 - 12:36 PM Hi Mary. My wife and I plan to come - she will bring her hammered dulcimer and I will come with fiddle and guitar and voice. We visited the area last June and it really is a nice place. I'll also bring my recording gear and we can do some more recording. And I'll bring copies (hot off the press) of our new CD "Songs of the Pacific Northwest" for its first release. That came out of a workshop I did at Rainy Camp last Feb and features 16 regional singers singing traditional and original songs. If it sells as well as I think should, a second edition may be in the works - I've already have more recordings in reserve. So we look forward to meeting everyone and having a great time. Cheers, S. in Seattle |

Subject: RE: SUNNYCAMP 2005 From: Genie Date: 02 Sep 05 - 12:01 AM Stewart, I'm delighted the two of you will be coming! Mary, if Open Mike's dog doesn't poop, that's a rare pup, indeed! §;-D I do hope David, Lorna, and others are interested in carpooling, because if gas is over $3/gal, I really doubt I can afford to make the trip alone. It would also be nice to share the driving too. My friend Lee wants to come, too, but since she's blind she only serves as my designated driver when I'm REALLY tired or have been drinking a lot. Anyway, I hope she can come, because she's great on piano, vocals, flute and Irish whistle. I guess we'll see what happens with the gas price gouging over the next few weeks, but I do hope Lee and I will be able to make it. Genie |

Subject: RE: SUNNYCAMP 2005 From: GUEST,winniemih Date: 02 Sep 05 - 02:27 PM Mary, I'll be in touch by email to register. I think I'll be able to make it this year. Genie, I'll be coming from the Forest Grove area, so I don't know how convenient it would be to carpool with you. Say Hi to Lee, I haven't seen her for a while and have been wondering how she is (we know each other from the Scottish Fiddle Club). I hope she comes to camp. Wendy |

Subject: RE: SUNNYCAMP 2005 From: GUEST,mg Date: 02 Sep 05 - 05:02 PM I can't log in to send a p.m. Genie, can you please email me at mgarvey@wsu.edu..hopefully this p.m. or I might not see it for a whil.e mg |

Subject: Sunnycamp 2005 new thread From: GUEST,mg Date: 08 Sep 05 - 07:05 PM Sorry...I just can't bring up the old ones. Someone bring a laptop to sunnycamp and educate me... So I'll start another new one. Despite my pitiful publicity efforts, I think things are going very well..we are having numerous people from all over the Northwest and it looks hopeful for California people too. We have had someone offer to teach a watercolor class..outside if weather permits. I think the setting will really lend itself to painting, photography etc...right on the waterfront with the oyster boats etc. in background. Also an offer to teach a dulcimer workshop..I know there will be a lot of interest for that. We will be reserving a rec room/boathouse? type of building for instrumental music, using the main lodge room for water color on Sat. morning (and will have lunch preparations going on then too). Other standard type workshops depending on who does what. Maybe we can get Hank to put on a mining songs workshop... Please either email me at mgarvey@wsu.edu for directions, or I do send them out by mail when I get your check...or just do a mapquest search from your origin to Port of Peninsula, Nahcotta, Washington. We are just on the other side of the fence from the Port..turn right into a grove of trees with an obscure sign that says Camp Morehead. There will be some sort of lights there at night. Please bring a map with you if you haven't gone here before. It is just straight up the peninsula and if you stop at the light in Ocean Park and turn right, then left at the T stop. Then go about less than a mile past Port of Peninsula sign and watch for the Camp Morehead sign or the lights..it is an obscure turn..lots of trees. Park in the parking area and not by the main lodge. If you see Harbor View motel you have gone a bit too far so turn around and look closely in the trees for a turn. I always ask people to bring any garden vegetables or fruits and we have a harvest type of dinner. This year especially we'll try to economize on food and give any extra money (and usually realistically there isn't any..it's close to the bone)to hurricane victims. Extra food anyway gets donated to food banks etc. I am hoping we can keep politics sort of out of the main lodge and keep it for music, fun etc. Lots to say about Katrina f-u etc. but let's have a special time and place for that, hopefully with constructive suggestions etc. Not sure what salmon situation is...hopefully they are running and not outrageously expensive...we might be eating chicken and calling it salmon. Bring bikes if you like...it is a beauitful flat place..only 2 miles or so from the ocean and lots of good biking, wildlife refuge etc. If you are even thinking of bringing a kayak, you must go with a guide. It is treacherous water and people are swept out to sea. There are lakes that would be better to kayak in around here. Please start letting me know and sending money. I am starting to shop for staples... m. garvey 2907 pioneer road, long beach wa 98631. $50 for the weekend. email me if you want to prorate for shorter time, if you plan to stay in motel etc. mg I combined three threads. To find the threads, I typed "sunnycamp" into the filter box on the main forum page, set the age to "1 year" (because I was pretty sure it would include the thread), and click "Refresh". Have fun at camp! --JC |

Subject: RE: SUNNYCAMP 2005 From: open mike Date: 09 Sep 05 - 01:24 AM i am preparing to send $ but want to know if there is a vegetarian meal choice/ i do fish but not fowl or is that foul? also what about motor home parking? if i bring my r.v. can i park there? some places say o.k. but do not stay in it...you must stay in the facility...but then it would be a good dog house for the night even if i do not sleep in there. Can you check on this? thanks@@!! Laurel (and Abbie) |
|
Subject: RE: SUNNYCAMP 2005 From: mg Date: 09 Sep 05 - 01:45 AM The camp is in transition so I am just going by the old rules. There is plenty of room for a motorhome if you can make the turns, which I presume you can unless it is a monster size...there is a big field where people park....You can sleep in it and that in fact will save you some money going by the old rules again...I'll just charge you a couple of day fees plus food so you can put a bit more money toward gas.... I hope Abbie can pass for a bear....and there will be vegetarian type foods but maybe not vegan..I usually make a big pot of minestrone..but we will have rice, beans, vegetables and fruit and the kitchen is big and people can whip up special meals as long as they time it to not interfere with the main cooking...I have a bread maker at home..think I should bring it? mg |
|
Subject: RE: SUNNYCAMP 2005 From: open mike Date: 09 Sep 05 - 02:55 AM if you want to spend time in the kitchen baking and if the ingredients are there...how do you usually get bread there? yum, minestrone! i have this cake recipe (Amish friendship bread) that grows and grows...sort af a sour dough thing. i always have a batch of it going...bake a cake or loaf every 7-10 days...if there is an over big enough for a bundt pan i could bring a batch...and have some starter to share, too. (sort of like a chain letter-- for each time you bake you have 2 portions to give away..) are there hiking trails near by? or is the beach accessible to walk along? |

Subject: RE: SUNNYCAMP 2005 From: mg Date: 09 Sep 05 - 11:53 AM I know we have a pizza oven that works fairly well...can't guarantee it..and there is a big gas oven we have never mastered. The ocean is about two miles away and you have to walk on roads. It is pretty rural at that tip of the peninsula if you head toward oysterville...and there is a wildlife refuge at the tip of the peninsula a few miles away with trails...you can walk miles and miles on the ocean and proabably not on the bay as the grounds are owned by oyster farmers..also, you can't just go out and pick up oysters..but there is a place by Fish and Wilflife that i think you can get some for free... mg |

Subject: RE: SUNNYCAMP 2005 From: Mudjack Date: 10 Sep 05 - 12:46 AM I plan on being there but Hur Katrina might call me for duty. At this time it looks like Sunny Camp is a go. Mudjack |

Subject: RE: SUNNYCAMP 2005 From: mg Date: 10 Sep 05 - 10:29 PM Hope you are back by then....I am thinking someone else might have to go down there as an engineer..and i am thinking of a phone engineer who could too...I would go myself if i could but for sure when I retire I want to be mobile...one of the great tragedies of this storm is all the able-bodied skilled people who were lined up ready to go with trucks full of food and supplies and boats ready to rescue people...well go down there and fix things...and tell me please why lawyers are in charge of this mess..the mayor of no is a lawyer and the fema head i think is a lawyer. Give me one electrician for any 50 lawyers in a mess like that....no offense to lawyers. Oh, I will start yet another thread....mg |

Subject: RE: SUNNYCAMP 2005 From: David Ingerson Date: 12 Sep 05 - 04:35 PM I'll be there, Mary! Glad I could make it this time. I can also offer rides from the Portland area or between Portland and Long Beach to 3 or 4 folks (or maybe 5, depending on how much baggage we all have). Looking forward to it, especially the late night singing. David |

Subject: RE: SUNNYCAMP 2005 From: GUEST,mg Date: 17 Sep 05 - 09:38 PM DIRECTIONS AGAIN..PLEASE PRINT OUT IN CASE I DON'T GET THEM TO YOU BY MAIL, WHICH I GENERALLY DO AFTER PEOPLE PAY..BUT EMAIL ME AT MGARVEY@WSU.EDU AND I WILL SEND THEM ANYWAY. Get a map and get to Long Beach, Washington..very southwest corner on the mouth of the Columbia. Basically, you are going to go about 10 miles up the Peninsula on one of two roads. Well, if you are in the city of Long Beach, just go straight north about 10 miles until you get to Ocean Park. DO NOT GO TO OCEAN SHORES. IF YOU GET THERE YOU ARE WAY LOST. You can't get there from Long Beach, but there is a turn near Aberdeen that will take you there. Anyway, you are in Long Beach. Go to Ocean Park. There is a stop light (and we are very proud of it.) Turn right at the stop light. Go about a mile to a T in the road. Turn north - left. Go less than a mile. You will pass the sign for the Ark. Pass the Fish and Wildlife and Sandy Bradley's little pottery shop. You will see (all of this on your right on the bay side) a sign that says Port of Peninsula. Slow way down. The camp is on the other side of the peninsula fencing. There is a clump of trees coming up...the sign to Camp Morehead is buried in them...turn in there and turn into the parking area...don't park by the lodge etc. There you are. The other road is Sandridge..you turn a bit sooner than actually going into Long Beach but make sure you are on that road. If you are, then go straight north about 10 miles, past a 4 way stop. Then go about another mile to Port of Peninsula and Camp Morehead is just right past that. At night, we'll have some lights etc. I should be there after 3...hopefully everything will be open sooner because there is a caretaker but I can't guarantee it..go to the ocean, go to Oysterville and look around..there are galleries etc..have fun...Dates again Sep 30 and Oct 1 and 2. If you are just now sending a check or just did recently, I might not cash it right away..I have so much money coming and going right now and I am doing a house repair thing and I am trying not to entangle money more than I have to... Still room for late registrants..I won't scold you because I always do it myself. It should be a lot of fun..the weather is just lovely right now and should continue I hope but you never know... mg |

Subject: RE: SUNNYCAMP 2005 From: GUEST,mg Date: 23 Sep 05 - 07:05 PM It is only a week from today. Weather right now is perfect..foggy in the morning and clammy at night but bright sun in the day..probably in 60s..might continue..who knows..bring warm sleeping stuff..fleece is good..cabins are unheated. Email me at mgarvey@wsu.edu if you need directions. If you have any fresh harvest fruits or vegs or flowers, bring them along.. Bring folding chairs if you have them. THey have disappeared. Bring a hatchet or ax if you can. Potluck dish for Friday or you can pick up something on the way... Workshops on hammer dulcimer, song-leading, mining, a water color class, women's songs... Place will probably be open at 3 but not guaranteed till 5...go on a nice hike if you get there early...oysterville is nice..old cemetary.. If you know where I work, it is best not to stop by to say hi..my boss hates it..but I might contact a couple of people to help carry the groceries there... Get gas now before it goes up... mg |

Subject: RE: SUNNYCAMP 2005 From: mg Date: 25 Sep 05 - 01:28 AM it is going to be fun..might have to call it foggycamp though..you never know..it has been foggy in the mornings a lot but then it breaks up and has been glorious. Bring warm wool and fleece because the cabins are not just chilly but clammy if it is foggy. please bring an ax or hatchet if you have one. I'm getting some nice cedar for kindling. Still not sure about the salmon situation but I am hopeful...don't worry we have lots of granola instead...just made it..i'm really looking forward to it...remember the boathouse is for instrumentalists, of which there might be more than usual so they ahve priority. I hope the little teahouse is available for small quiet sessions..it is so cute...otherwise, we'll have to commander cabins. remember folding chairs...we apparently have none there anymore and I will be bringing a few from work but otherwise it is those benches. Look for a streamer and maybe orange paper plates and blinking lights where you have to turn in..not hard to find in daylight but hard at night but it is right past the port of peninsula and a bit before you get to the Harbor View motel so backtrack if you see that. If you really get lost, ask someone how to get back to Jack's store and from there, go to the stoplight as though you were heading north (ocean on your left). Turn right at light at jack's. Go about a mile. Road turns into a t. Turn left..go about another mile past Port of Peninsula sign...just a little ways, about a city block, you will see a clump of trees on right...should be a streamer or some lights..turn in and then turn left into parking...hope for a beautiful sunset... lmg |

Subject: RE: SUNNYCAMP 2005 From: open mike Date: 25 Sep 05 - 07:00 PM I may have some sour dough starter to share.. it is not really sour..it bakes into a sweet treat..."Amish Friendship Cake (or bread)" i usually bake a (bundt) cake every week to 10 days and i will be baking one before i come up. also will have a couple of portions of starter and the recipe for any bakers out there who might be interested in it...it grows....and there is always some to share. You pass some on each time you make a cake. a great way to heat the kitchen in the cooler months is to have the oven going! |

Subject: RE: SUNNYCAMP 2005 From: GUEST,mg Date: 29 Sep 05 - 01:56 PM Oh hurray it is tomorrow. Does everyone know how to get there? Directions are a couple of times up farther in this thread. Remember, get to the city lf Long Beach, WA and go north up the peninsula. Weather is a bit misty right now but it has been wonderful lately... Last minute items: we are going to tighten the purse strings all of a sudden, so if anyone has vegetables and fruits from their garden, please do bring. I have bought very few in anticipation of this. Likewise flowers. Likewise, if someone gave you fancy vinegar for Christmas we could use some for salad dressing..or just ordinary vinegar. Likewise, some white sugar for baking. Remember to bring folding chairs as we have benches and a few folders but not too many. Watch for deer and raccons etc. on roads. Bring warm clothes and bedding. It will probably be between 40 and 60 degrees at all times but can be damp. Remember that instrumentalists will have the priority use of the boat hall...and singers the priority use of the main building, except for during the art class. Bring any fancy tea or coffee you need..we have some but then we switch to generic...but we have enough real maple syrup. You don't need to leave early on Sunday...can stay through the afternoon but just can't mess anything up once cleaned. We will do most of the regular cleaning up as usual, and then a professional cleaner will come in to finish up...so it won't be burdensome at all and we'll try to get it done early on and then just have a cold lunch.. We'll share chores and cooking but it all works out easily in this camp...if you hate cleaning toilets here is you chance..I need three volunteers up front.. 1. To make sure everyone has paid and take care of the money and not accidently run off with it on Sunday...an anal-retentive type would be good here...several people have not paid and I run a very tight budget so I have to make sure no one forgets....especially important to get the people who come in for the day on Saturday. 2. Someone to take charge of the scheduling of workshops, chores, cleanup etc...not too hard a job but again better than cleaning toilets..we have a prelimin schedule... 3. A baker to do some baking of cookies and pies ..cookies for lunch and pies for dinner...must be done before meal prep for main meals. See you soon...do feel free to come at the last minute. mg p.s. L. I forgot to call you last night.. We have lots of cranberries and I had better get out and pick a few...also, if people want to pick some blackberries for a cobbler I am short on blackberries and probably won't have blueberries this year. mg |

Subject: RE: SUNNYCAMP 2005 From: GUEST,mg Date: 29 Sep 05 - 02:26 PM Thought of some other things...for various reasons if you want to bring the following items and sell them to me for a couple of dollars each...stuff you might be thinking of selling at a garage sale..I could use a small radio with good reception and built-in speakers...a portable hair dryer...a floor lamp but not halogen...mg |

Subject: RE: SUNNYCAMP 2005 From: Barbara Date: 29 Sep 05 - 03:00 PM I just pulled up the three day forcast for this weekend at Long Beach, and not to rain on anyone's parade (or folk music camp), but rain gear is probably a good idea. Rain Friday, thundershowers Saturday, and rain Sunday. Oh well, last year it was Sunnycamp. See you there tomorrow. Blessings, Barbara |

Subject: RE: SUNNYCAMP 2005 From: Genie Date: 29 Sep 05 - 03:08 PM BTW, Mary, I can bring my 2 large air pots for coffee (one for decaf and one for regular), so brewed coffee can be kept hot without leaving the pot on the burner. I'll call you about details. I'll also bring some of my homemade grapes (Niagaras and purple Concords). Some will get eaten during the camp, but people can also take some home with them if they like. I will bring 2 or 3 jars of salsa, some fancy vinegar, and some soup makings for Friday night. Does the facility have a microwave? A coffee brewer (as opposed to a percolator)? Genie |

Subject: RE: SUNNYCAMP 2005 From: GUEST,mg Date: 29 Sep 05 - 03:17 PM The coffee fixings are church basement style as I recall. Bring any coffee fixings that you would like..it will be great...we have some coffee I bought from church and backup from cOSTCO...i AM NOt a coffee drinker so I don't pay it too much attention....but we do have quantity at least of caff type..not much decaf...grapes will be great...I am bringing asian pears if they are still on the tree and just picked some cranberries...we can make a great salad or two...got lots of spinach... mg p.s....it is only Oregon mist right now.. NOT RAIN...(missed Oregon came to Washington they say). It really is very nice, the Oregon mist...what I hate is just heavy clouds, not that we would have them here...I don't mind the rain etc. mg |

Subject: RE: SUNNYCAMP 2005 From: GUEST,mg Date: 29 Sep 05 - 08:08 PM well we are working our way up to a bit of ocean spray.. the private little cabin is not going to be available at least Friday night but might be on Saturday..it has a private bathroom and two sets of bunk beds... I have most of the stuff already up there so nobody needs to stop by to pick up chairs or anything as was a possibility before...so I'll see youse all tomorrow. My work number till probably 5 is 360-642-2031 but it will be very hard to talk more than a minute and the line is usually busy. Be sure to print out directions. If you get lost, ask how to get to Jack's store and go there and they will guide you to the Port of Peninsula..from there it is just about a block further north. mg |
