Bev, Gary and Evelyn, and the kilt-wearin' dude, Robert. Tomorrow...a bunch...Friday...a BUNCH. Get over here Jasan...I'll have you lifting heavy things...they pretty much all weigh roughly 12 ounces.

That sucks! As you know, you will miss a dose of good people that is almost good for a year. My heart would be heavy too.

My driveway? Other IAC-member driveways?

There's "first-come first-serve" camping at Oxbow Regional Park on the eastern edge of the PDX Metro area (http://www.oregonmetro.gov/index.cfm/go/by.web/id=975). There's apparently-reservable camping at Barton Park (http://clackamas.us/parks/barton.htm) a bit outside Damascus. There's also camping at Milo McIver State Park but it's farther out near Estacada .. and while I'm sure there are other options in the area I'm not sure what/where they are.

.. these are just what came up with a quickie search. Talk more @ Maupin?

Don't be .. it's about as "warm" and "dry" as last year.

Here's last year:

Finally.

It's going to be much much dryer this year, and last year wasn't all that bad.

See you out there! We're packed and leaving in the morning, Eva and I. And the bus is mud-caked and filthy.
Neal, great vid as usual. This one a bit darker, mad circus.

I can't believe you aren't going to be in Maupin, what's up with that?

Fly out....

or a train...

Haha, we'll save you a spot......

Actually, I never thought I was going to make it to Maupin as I should be back working in South America but life has is twists and turns so I will be there tomorrow with my newly tight steering bus.
