Ok, here are some views of the camp West River Camp

They can give a general idea of what it is like. I didn't do all possible views of everything, of course.

Yep...I had almost forgotten that I had that space on Opera (they give you 300 megs)

BTW...in the pic of the registration room, that door/window in the rear is a mini-kitchen we will have available for snacks, washing pots & pans from Friday nite potluck, having a coffee pot...etc..

Something is very wrong with those pix, Bill ole pal-- there are no happy folkies in 'em. Ya gotta be sure to add the folkies in! Photoshop 'em in, or sumpin!

We'll have pics of the happy ones in a couple of weeks. (I guess I 'could' Photoshop YOU swimming in the harbor there..)

Yes, Bill, I know..... I'd still suggest you PS some expected folks in there from previous events.... and yes, do PS me in if you can take my Mudcat photo and make it aquatic! :~)

Beautiful. All that - and heat too!

Thanks for the photo display, Bill. I saw and heard and did a lot but I sure missed a lot too. Three ring circuses leave a lot to be desired...

Well, whe YOU come next year, Ebbie, it will be easier to catch half of one workshop and then switch...no hills and a lot closer together.

My personal dream is to have a 4-5 day Getaway, where we run some popular things twice and have some 'free' breaks between workshops, but the price of camps being what it is....

Oooooh!! Bill what a wonderful idea. 4-5 days. Let's think about it. I'm sure others would be interested. Thurs. to Mon. would be good. That would allow all day Thurs. and Fri. for those who want to come early and the regular Getaway Fri. to Mon. as usual. I'd love that. Anyway, let's dream. I think they do something in CA that is a week in length.

The Strawberry Festival, one of CA's oldest regular folk events, runs longer than a weekend, I am sure. Ask Ranger.

Thanks for the photos, Bill. Looks like a nice place in terms of facilities. I hope management can stand the extremely varied likes of us. I think the fact that it is a Methodist church camp, combined with my upbringing, has me feeling a little paranoid--like we can't relax and just be ourselves, unless our selves are 'born again' Christians. And you know I'm not a drinker--it's not that. And I'm clear it is my hardshell Baptist ancestry that is kickin'
in here. I am sure all will be wonderfully well and amazingly restorative, as have all my Getaway experiences been.

I am apparently the only person around who is going to miss Camp Ramblewood. This ol' hillbilly woman wasn't much bothered by the cold or the climbs, and I liked the tolerant nature of the management. (and I ain't talkin' about open alcohol.)   I understand the need to move to a place where those with mobility issues can get around better--but I'm still gonna miss Ramblewood. It was a beautiful setting, the dorm style cabins promoted getting acquainted quickly with people, as did the relatively easy-to-bear hardship of the the cold.

Wow. In a week we will be there!

Looks good, Bill!

Just one observation...it looks like the lounges and the retreat center are furnished with just armchairs or sofas. It would probably be a good idea to move some stacking/folding chairs into any of those places that are going to be used for singing. Us guitarists will be grateful!

We're way ahead of you, Gary. We asked about this on our first visit, and were assured that each lounge has a supply of folding chairs readily available. With any luck, this will prove true!

See you soon,
Nancy

Folding chairs in closets handy to all venues. We'll have 'em out...

Cool! I figured y'all would have the situation well in hand. But the SF-conrunner in me just had to make sure. I've turned up at a convention or two to find the filksing scheduled in the Boardroom. With only the fancy armchairs provided...
