You really don't have to come up with a thank you present. Really. Really.
As for car camping. There's tons around including my driveway. It just might get a little crazy with all you ladies and 1.5 baths alotted to you. (Sorry, I'm keeping one bath to me and DH).
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
The neighbor's big white cat just slinked past my window like a ghost and scared the bejeezus outta me.

So let's talk about it more next weekend and try to settle on a date. Then everyone can commit that weekend in their calendars and we'll be all set.
It'll be fun to come up with a thank you present."My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure."

I don't want to disrespect anyone's time. I can probably commit in pencil, but not ink. Better to count me out if very firm numbers are needed, which I can certainly understand!

Firm numbers won't be required as long as I know I'll have at least 3 people commited, it's worth organizing it and making it happen. Anyone after that can be a penciled in add-on. I imagine we'll figure it out on Saturday.

In reference to Canadian geography you're right. But in the realm of world regional geography you're still technically PNW. I had to take a world regional geography course to get my PT license in Oregon... don't ask.

Hmmm....
Right now July is open. June has a few weekends scheduled but there's a 50-50 chance I'd be free
And I'm thinking a Pansy Palmetto outfit would be spiffy! Yes, I did see some of the pictures

Knot - does Trek know that?
(It could have been worse. Kit said... Does Trek help you pitch that tent? ) She's bad, I know. I'll flog her later tonight.
Yeah, we can probably make that unless they make me work at the last minute in which case, I will call in DEAD. A tentin' we will go....

Has there been any progress on nailing down a date for this?
I'm actually thinking 2009 is more realistic for my first tri, since I don't see myself doing any running this summer . . . still, this sounds like a great learning opportunity!

July 19-20th I think. It's definitely the 3rd week in July, I'm just not sure of the exact date. No calendar in front of me at the mo.

Yep, 3rd Saturday of July is the 19th. (There is this little calendar button directly above the thread listings in TE...) Originally Posted by Wahine

So here we are nearly two months later. And about 2 months from the proposed weekend. I have a few things to throw out there for y'all.
First - I want to say that I really want to do this. I love giving back to my sport and this is a fantastic way to do it.
Second - There are some things that have come up in terms of timing. I have been asked to crew for a guy who is doing Race Across Oregon. This is happening on the weekend on July 19th to 20th. This is also the Gorge Games weekend and while I'm not registered for any events - the area will be smokin' busy. But then again, we're pretty busy all summer anyway with tourists etc and it might be fun for people to see some of the stuff that's happening.
I am committed to doing this and if JUly 19th to 20th still works best for most people, it shall stay on that weekend and RAO boy will just have to find someone else to help with his crew.
So here's what I'm asking....
How many of you are at least 80% sure you'll be here if the weekend is:
July 19-20
or
July 26-27
Please let me know if one (and which one) weekend works or if you could come to either.Living life like there's no tomorrow.

I could do either, assuming my body holds up. (I, um, sort of fell down and hurt my knee again.)
