How much is it? Good thing sponsors are paying the bill.
We are staying at the mermaid inn. But the cottage/condo looks better.

The one I requested is $78.50 + Tax. the cheapest they had but it does have 2 rooms. I may have to give up the one in July as I have another event I
want to attend. If I get it, it maybe up for grabs to the PKF family.

I don't know of many campsite places on the WA side unfortunatly, but there are a bunch of RV camps. And the only state park I know in that area on
the WA side is Cape Disappointment.
Tent or RV?

My wife asked, "what kite are you going to take?" I of course replied, all of them. I know Flecht camps alot. Maybe he will know of a place too. I
will have to check how far away cape dissapointment is.

great people.

Rain quit about 11:00 started againaround 5:00. Started with a 6 went to a 10 back to my 8. But I'm not a student of go big or go home. I'm more go
moderate and survive. Jimmy was upon me by at least 2 kite sizes. Wind were about as close to onshore as you can get without actually being there.
Long runs both directions all afternoon. To bad some of you had to leave. Thanks for everyone coming out. Had a lot of good comments from general
public. See some of you folks next weekend.
On another topic if a coffee shop offers you a chocolate dipped garlic clove with your drink, walk away. Sat with me all day.

Fletcht, Thanks for making a great weekend possible!
I was watching the maps all morning and got a later start than I wanted but rolled in just before 1 and arrived to sufficient wind ~8W. Was hoping
our bc friends would still be there but alas! At least by me the wind and good weather doesn't kick in til noonish. At one point I'm pretty sure it
was in the mid to highteens. Was on the v19 all day and booked 40-some-odd miles! Had a great 9mi run... Only to dream of a 26mi run
last run of the day the wind died while I was in a dead pocket, luckily, and funly, I was towed in off the back of my trailer wake-style! Packed up
and headed out just as the rain came to say hello.
Another fantastic WA event!

Is it just a coincidence those 3 accidents happened within the few minutes ahead of us KC triple 8 was ? That beast he drives got through and we
didn't.  I Jumped off on some other highway heading north?? Thought I was
lost and then stumbled on the Tacoma dome and slipped past the big one !
In a Country where they constantly remind you with signs to KEEP RIGHT ACCEPT TO PASS, I can never figure out why the right lane is almost always the
open one ????
