Wow...that was a whirlwind of events! Ask a simple question (how do we get a WA Chapter) and the next thing I know...Chapter Leader! Reminds me of missing a staff meeting only to find out you were appointed head of some committee while away.
Anyway, thank you all for the welcome and support. Hopefully you will feel the same way after we work at this for awhile. We are happy to help with what we can and hope to meet your expectations.
Please feel free to PM us with ideas, suggestions, whatever!
Have a great weekend!
Hello Teresa!
Thank you for the welcome! We often stay in Twisp in the summer months and usually make our way to Omak for a few days to shop and maybe have lunch at that little casino.
Hopefully you received a PM with a short survey you can take online with some very basic questions about a future WA rally! Since you are new to the forum you may not have been on the list yet! Let me know if you didn't get the survey link and I will PM it to you!
Best Wishes!
We have had 3 rally's in BC so far and they are quite easy to do. Find a place and send out invites.Rand
..........Yes, I did get the PM. That is how I found you. I will go and do the survey (sorry - forgot). I grew up in Twisp. Where do you like to camp in Twisp?
We like to camp at Riverbend RV Park. Nice quiet location next to the Methow River. Wife and I tether some "River Rat" tubes to a rock anchor and lay in the river all day. You can see one of our camp sites by viewing the Album photos in my Profile page. Riverbend is close to Twisp proper (Hanks Market and the Famers Market during the summertime). It's close to Winthrop, Bear Creek Golf Course, Lake Pearrygin etc. Only 40 minutes to Omak...beautiful drive, by the way!
Have you ever camped in the Okanogan area (Omak, Tonasket, etc)? Conconully is beautiful state park. Further up the road is Salmon Meadows with plenty of space for a big 5th wheel (ours is 33 ft). Bonaparte is a wonderful/beautiful lake.
We are always looking for new places to camp! We shy away from State parks now that we have a 38'+ rig. We stayed at some with our previous SOB which was only 29' ine slide, and it was very tight! Usually the sites were big enough but the access roads were difficult to negotiate and usually filled with low hanging trees! Our daughter loves Conconully State Park and tent camps there with her friends. No doubt about the area beauty!! From what I can find out about Salmon Meadows is it has 7 RV sites, no reservations, no sewer etc. Still, I would like to see it in person!
At this point we have only really done state parks....I like full hook up...I am spoiled.
Once you start doing the Full Hook-up thing you do get spoiled! We are the same way. I am noticing that it is an important issue to those that have completed the Survey also!
We have not been to a lot of places in our home state but a few... Not far from us is Bayview State Park and Pioneer Trails. We like Pioneer Trails. Big sites and you can choose treed or not. It's close to the Anacortes Ferry to the San Juans, Deception Pass State Park, Swinomish Casino, several golf courses and quaint tourist towns like LaConner. Birch Bay is just down the road from us but not really suited to big rigs although some people do it. We have stayed at Silverline in Winthrop. Beebe Bridge Park in Chelan is a really nice place but again, no reservations. We definitely have a list of places we plan to visit! Lots to choose from here in Washington.
Best Wishes!
Hummm...senior moment!
