Subject: RE: Western USA 'Catter Gather--Time/Place?
SunnyCamp is only slightly closer to PDX than to Seattle, and Rainycamp is in the Seattle area.
None of them are geared primarily to Mudcatters, although some area Mudcatters do attend.
I would vote for Portland over Seattle, not just because I live there (which is irrelevant half the time anyway) but because it's more centrally located. But I can certainly understand the attraction of the Sacramento or Bay Area location as being probably the most central on the west coast. Not horribly far from the Pac NW or SoCal or from the Tahoe area or Idaho or even Denver.
I guess a lot depends on the sites available and their costs. There was a great B&B in eastern WA called "JenEllen's" where we had the 2002 Mudcat Gathering, but I don't know if they're still in business. ;)
