Poll: Tillamook State Forest Clean Up!

[filsonhand]

I'm planning on being there. I will have my 5 and 3 year old kids so I will do my best to be there at 9. I have a folding table, a camp stove, and a stove top coffee pot that I can bring if we still need them. I will bring water for the coffee as well.

LOL
+1 on getting the kids ready on time

You forgot to mention that it's supposed to rain which would add more to the romantic environment!

I will be there with my energetic 6 year old daughter to help with the clean up. I can bring my ez-up canopy and donuts. Do I need to bring my pickup to help haul garbage down?

 

[SIXGUNRUGER]

I will have my truck as well.

Thanks guys, we have not kept a list of who is bring what so if you can bring a pickup that would be great. The drop off area is quite close but too far to walk to while carrying bags of trash.

Looks like we'll have some rain so if you have a spare canopy to bring we can set up a little canopy city where the coffee and snacks will be

I just received an email from Jeff at FarWest Recycling and he said that they buy shotgun shells at 8 cents a pound as long as they don't stick to a magnet. They are only accepted at the Beaverton location. Just an FYI for those that want to recycle them.

If anyone has a DSLR and photography skills, it'd be great if you could get a bunch of photos

 

[neuwallisdorf]

Can anyone bring coffee cups, creamer and sweetener? Sounds like we'll have a few stoves and coffee pots running now.

When I was in the scout program with my son my said I had everything for camping except the kitchen sink. Of course I immediately took that as a challenge and acquired one made by Coleman! She has since learned to avoid mocking my equipment.

I should be able to help out here unless anyone else wants the job?

Thanks, the $1.40 a pound quote I got from the main office seemed high. I think they were thinking just brass.

Since many have offered the wee ones to come. Besides ground coffee, I'll bring some individual cocoa packets for them, plus cups and cream and sugar cans also.
Hopefully someone can bring some water and a pot to boil for the cocoa?

 

[bolus]

Got back from the shopping trip. I got chips, pretzels, jerky, pemican, pepperoni, bunch of water bottles, few extra ponchos, ear plugs.

I also realized that some of the garbage bags the Forest service gave us are large enough to dispose of a full size human body. Not implying anything... just saying....

 

[neuwallisdorf]

Yes, I have a regular pot for boiling water and bringing the water as well. Do we need mini marshmallows for the kids cocoa?

I blew my previous post...it was my WIFE who was mocking my camping gear and commented that I had everything except the kitchen sink. Since I took that as a challenge I did some research to find out Coleman does in fact sell a folding camp kitchen with sink. Fold out table is big enough for 3 burner propane stove. I will bring both plus a few chairs.

Could be fun for them but may need a wash cloth also!

Anyone want to carpool with me from Vancouver? Otherwise it's just me in my truck. Also, I don't have a rake so I hope somebody has an extra.

Any body seen the weather forecast? It looks solid. We're talking major rain, inches called for. Now I'm hoping the "Media" is just doing it's normal thing and going for the drama. But it sounds like, from every ones posts, they're all gung ho. Damn, I feel like a wuss. We've got rain gear, but but being in a downpour for two hours with the wind forecast to 50mph at the coast......Aw, never mind.

Anyways, we'll be there at 9:00 +/- a few. Think I might bring my hip waders.....

Crap, I would be in if I saw this earlier but I volunteered to work overtime tomorrow. When is the next Oregon cleanup?

 

[F2CMaDMaXX]

Seriously though, anyone have any more accurate weather, i saw that warning this morning too.

 

[bolus]

Various weather sites have different predictions. 60F and rain should not be too bad. I dont have any concerns about the road and the area is pretty closed in with the surrounding hills that wind should not be a problem.

Chortle.......
