Memorial Day

Post by hambone » Mon May 24, 2010 8:04 am

Heading to the Collowash Camp with the family this weekend.
Just found out it was formerly called the OH BOY FOREST CAMP.
If you're bored that's where we'll be, sitting in the rain of course.

EDIT maybe Little Badger instead? Supposed to be 10 degrees warmer. Probably drier too. Boy I sure hate to give up a Clackamas weekend but with family in tow maybe it would be smart. Have to get out there Thursday to avoid the Memorial Day mobs. Maybe the bad weather will keep them home. I'll know in a couple days...

I won't go anywhere near a designated campground Memorial, Labor, or 4th of July weekends. Too many folks hootin' and hollerin for my taste.

We probably will go park in a family field out in a peaceful valley though...

Hope your neck clears up.

Oh please oh please oh please.

I saw 91*F for New York City when I checked weather.com earlier -- send some of that heat this way.

If you only have one word, at least you could spell it correctly.
