If I knew how to play golf I would be there, but I have never played once!

Doug would like to play with Sonja and Harlan, if it's okay with them.

Rod, this might be your opportunity to learn. I play a couple times a year - at HOC rallies. I have my own scoring system and relaxed rules. I'd be happy to share a cart with you.

It's simple Rod. You try to put a little ball in a 4" hole 400 yds away by hitting it four times or less with some very expensive sticks with funny looking heads on them. That's it! And you have to handle frustration well. You would be good if you tried. The scenery is worth the ride.

 

[For20hunter]

Sounds totally simple!! . I would totally slow everyone down.

Beginners often do not keep score and pick the ball up when they feel they have hit it enough on any given hole. Your partner would keep you on pace.

Anyone wanting to come to the Pacific Region Rally in September that didn't make it before the cut off date please send us a message ASAP. We have a couple cancellations and would like to keep the sites for our Rally guests before they go back to the park.

Anyone bring a guitar or any other instrument and would like to get together and jam.

I only started playing when I retired, wow it been almost 8 years. Here is a sample of the type of music I play: Two on this post and one in my signature block.

My wife can play air drums and I'm killer on any air guitar. I hardly EVER miss a note.

I will have a guitar but I don't really play, just learning. I do however sing, some say quite well.

Hey all! I'm super unfamiliar with navigating the the west/northwest. We'll be coming to Canyonville via Red Lodge, Montana. I looked at some routes in Google Maps and I've overlaid those 3 routes onto the area Fire Map.

The map below picks up my route, 141 miles into the drive, at Bozeman, MT. Looking at the roads and terrain, I've pretty much eliminated the red and green routes and I'm pretty solid on the blue route, traveling through Butte, Missoula, Spokane, Kennewick, Portland, Salem and Eugene.

Question - if you had to trek from east of Bozeman, MT to Canyonville, OR, and factoring in regional fires/smoke, would you take the blue route? If not, can you advise deviations you'd make?

We haven't made any reservations along the way but are planning to take 4 days to cover the 1,100 miles.

Jim,

We are traveling from South Dakota the route you have mapped out in blue. Right now we are in Kennewick for the week. We haven't come across any of the fire issues yet. The drive you mapped out is very beautiful. The green route would put you thru a lot of the high dessert, very boring drive. We are headed to the Washington rally from here and than down to Canyonville. Look forward to meeting you at the rally.

Jim,

I would take your blue route, which is about 2 hours shorter and a very nice drive. Its a beautiful drive with lots of nice scenery and most of it is 2 lanes each direction or more. We have driven all of the routes and they are all good roads that you can haul our rigs on without a lot of issues.

The trip through the Columbia River Gorge when you drop down to I-84 from Tri-Cities can be a little windy sometimes, but not too bad. If you are looking for a nice place to stay, Boardman RV Park and Marina is a beautiful park to stay in and is literally right off of I-84 not to far from when you get on it.

Bill - thank you for the feedback. Where are you staying in Kennewick? While I have no reservations for our 3 nights of travel, Kennewick is one of my "planned" stops.

Jim,

The blue route is nice, but depending on what you want to do on your way here, I'd recommend a slightly different path.

Bozman to Spokane and then enjoy the Silerwood Theme Park. I have never been, but I've heard it is nice and the RV Resort is also suppose to be nice.

Spokane to Bend.
Now, call NOW for reservations to Crown Villa RV Resort. No question the best RV Resort in Bend. Then enjoy Bend! It is awesome. More breweries than anywhere else. Just a great "downtown" experiance. Plan to stay here 3-4 nights...you will really enjoy it. Here is a link to a video I just created, showing the entrance to Crown Villa. We stayed here for 8 nights...could have done a month EASY! Note...if you need WiFi from the park, get one of the sites closer to the Clubhouse. We were in the pull-through sites and couldn't really use their WiFi, but that is fine, as we have unlimited data on our phones and hotspot.

From Bend, it will be an easy 3.5 hour drive to Canyonville, down Hwy 97 to Hwy 138.

Note...you WILL encounter some smoke along the way. Oregon is in TERRIBLE fire season and there is simply no avoiding it.

The main reason I am recommending you go down Hwy 97 to Bend is to enjoy more of Central Oregon. If you go the other way to Portland and then down I-5, it is really boring...just a long freeway.

Look forward to meeting you.
