Any chance we might get a group to gather on Long Island in Willapa Bay over the week-end? This would be an ad-hoc, pot-luck, Paddle-In . . . We'll just designate the Sandspit Campground on the west shore just south of Jensen Point. No need to make elaborate arrangements. Just show up. Friday, Saturday, Sunday. . . Does that sound viable? Who might be up for this? Dave Kruger. . . would camping on Tenasillahe be less environmental impact, accommodate a larger group? It's Monday. We have time to make provisional plans. ______________________________ George Bergeron, Secretary '99 Oswego Heritage Council www.europa.com/~heritage/ *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************

We have time to make I'm tied up with other plans this weekend. I'd suggest Smokey Hollow if the group travels to Long Island. There are not enough campsites at Sandspit to handle more than 6 or 8 people. Smokey Hollow can handle up to 40, depending on how cozy people want to be, and is a lesser walk to the Grove of Ancient Cedars, a "must see" attraction. This is bug season on Long Island, so take the DEET. Tenasillahee tends to be a powerboater party place on the 4th, although this is highly variable. There is a lot of room on Tenasillahee. In any case, I will not be involved. But, everybody else ... go to it! -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************

Long Island is NOT conducive to large "Pow Wows." Tenasillahe Island tends to become a Jet Ski and powerboat beach on the July 4th. Week-End. So. . . looks like an "official scrub" on the recommendation of several who have a better grasp on the usage patterns in these two areas. I may just hike into the woods and look at birds. . . ______________________________ George Bergeron, Secretary '99 Oswego Heritage Council www.europa.com/~heritage/ *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************
