Site assignments and Schedule

Here are proposed site sharing arrangements so you know where to set up when you arrive. Remember...these are SITE sharing, not TENT sharing. Please see the post below on suggestions to make site sharing easier.

19 Ingram, Ballestedt (2 rigs, ..this is where we will be jamming) 3 people total--We will likely squeeze another car in here too
22 Horner, Cole, Onishi 5 people
23 Ogle, Meleo, Fogel (Sat nite only) 6-8 people (So...MAO--there is room for the kids for sure..)
24 Cimino, Stephenson, McMillan 6 people

As far as schedule----
Friday--arrive----jamming after dinner. I've only had one person interested in a pot luck, so we won't do it but how about sharing snacks/dessert after dinner?

Saturday 11 AM workshop at site 19 with Rick.
Who's up for a "teach a tune" at around 1:30? If we can get 3 people to teach a tune, that would be fun. Kris? Mike? Matt??
You'd spend 20 minutes teaching a tune to a small group--then we rotate. If someone needs more time, they stay with one "teacher"
Talent show (dulcimer and non dulcimer) aprox 7 PM

Sunday--tune sharing and departure

Let me know if you have questions or suggestions

About the Campsite

We are at the Beckler River Campground. The turnoff is approximately 0.8 miles East of Skykomish. It is a paved road all the way.

We have sites 19, 22, 23 and 24.

I will be working on site assigments which keep in mind the size of the party and the size of the tent, so check back here for information. I will also e mail this to the nwhds mailing list. Let me know if you have special needs or requests.

The site is rustic. Pit toilets, water must be carried to your site. No hookups.

We will be sharing 2-3 tents or rigs per site. Camp chairs are a must. Camp tables will be helpful in addition to your regular camping and dulcimer gear. Please plan only one tent per family/party.

There is at least Verizon cell service at the site. The camp hosts are very nice and excited to work with us. There is a deli type store about a mile away, on Highway 2. It is not a full grocery store--kind of an overgrown mini-mart.

We did not check out river access, but websites about the site say that there is such so if you wanna swim or float, I think that is an option.

Watch this site for camping assignments and for a schedule. Post questions here or send via e mail.
