Dan Burke and I started collecting bags this morning, after a 2 + hour jog/muay Thai workout of course...lol
Talked with Bruce Raymer just minutes ago and he and his friend Steve Hale were just finishing preassembly and repainting of the showers before the move to the camp on Monday afternoon.
Yes, the camp is at the old site, hilariously enough called the New Ranch at Silver Falls State Park, located off highway 22 about 20 miles East of Salem Oregon. People flying into Portland should catch the shuttle bus (called the Hut Shuttle I believe) to the Salem Airport ($20US) and we will pick you up there. You can either wait for a regularly-scheduled pickup or you can call Bruce's house 503-364-5170 and someone will come and get you. Be sensitive to Bruce and his family please, as they have already been putting in hours and hours getting ready, which includes organizing 3 motor homes for the kitchen help and Master Chai. Thanks for all the nice compliments, this should be an interesting year
