    1.5 days left figured I would give a rundown of requirements.

    January 18-20
    Frog Lake Campground Oregon
    Current (1/11/2013) Snow Level at about the same elevation is 44 inches (Mud Ridge on www3.wcc.nrcs.usda.gov/nwcc/sntl-data0000.jsp?site=655&days=7

    Must haves
    Snow Park Pass Either Oregon or one of the states that allow you to go to another state (DMV, BiMart, Etc...) If overnight your only options are annual (Oregon $20+fees, Washington $40+fees) or 3 day ($7+fees) passes
    Frog Lake Camp(GPS 45.2225, -121.69222)
    Directions from Portland http://goo.gl/maps/oMH2Y
    Directions from Hood River http://goo.gl/maps/kYgbg
    Directions from Bend http://goo.gl/maps/Ps7dZ
    Required Bring Traction tires or chains
    Check ODOT Website http://www.tripcheck.com/Pages/RCmap...RoadConditions
    Weather (for government camp, Oregon) http://www.weather.com/weather/today...mp+OR+USOR0144
    Your Own gear (Some people have offered loaner equipment, make sure you have contacted them and made proper arrangements)

    Please Bring (if you can)
    Firewood (don't worry about transport to campsite, plenty with pulks to help with that, including a raffle pulk so it you want to try before you buy Gary and CreativeKayt may loan it out for wood hauls)
    White Elephant Gift (Prefer outdoorsy stuff, but anything will do)
    Money for Pulk Raffel (Will update when amount is determined. Gary might get a better idea if people send him a message that they are interested. Personally I have a pulk and even if you have a 1 in 20 chance of winning, for winter camping you can't go wrong with a pulk.)

    Directions from Lot
    Walk basically directly east, there is a road that does a circle around the campground. Your first turn is going to be a right (for those night arrivers this is where the glow stick will be shortly down the road you are supposed to go) after that you can go left or right as all roads lead to the "Emerald Castle". Generally we will congregate near the restrooms there is one near the front and two near the back.

    Anything else please feel free to adjust.

    Roll Call
    This does not mean if you do not respond that you can not come. It would be nice to be surprised.

    My wife knew I was excited for our weekend camping trip and sent me this video on Facebook to get me even more pumped. Its a Will Ferrel doing a Robert Goulet skit on Conan.

    I'm sorry guys, I hate to let people down when I say I'm going to do something. I have to replace the lights on my velomobile this weekend, taking most of my spare funds. Perhaps I can catch you all at the next Oregon/Washington hang. Thanks for at least making me feel welcome.

    Greetings,

    Can you give a bit more guidance on the White Elephant gift? Is this something you would typically dig out of the recesses of your closet or is something you would purchase and wrap up with a bow? If it is the latter, do you have a suggested price range?

    Thanks.

    It can pretty much be anything. For example last year my wife ended up with an old style walkman. Since its white elephant people will steal things so I bet not many people are going to spend a lot if they are buying something. Now if someone brought an uq as a white elephant gift there would prob be one happy camper. Used items are good too just don't give us used tp and call it firestarter.

    Basically something useful to someone somewhere somehow, funny, used or new.
