Oregon MiniJam

[jester]

So summer is just around if this dang cold weather would go away and well I wanted to see if people out there would like to do a MiniJam in Oregon. I do not see one on Active's calendar so I wanted to put it out there and ideas on where to have it and dates. I have listed a few places just to see your thoughts.

Detroit lake about 2 hours from Portland
Foster Reservoir about 2 ish hours from Portland
Fall Creek about 3 hours from Portland
Cougar Reservoir about 3 hours from Portland. (No dock but that limits the people on the water.)

[mmandley]

Ill do what ever location you like. I prefer Fall Creek as its the best one i have been to so fare. Lots of legs to hide away in and be out of the afternoon wind.

I spoke to Gerry O at AWS and he said May 22 is Demo days.

He also said he should have a date for the June Reuinon tour this week sometime.

Ill check with him next week Monday

[stretch55]

Never been to Fall Creek, but I have heard that Foster is amazing and it doesn't get very busy.

[KT Mobius]

Honestly Foster isn't that great, 20 more minutes north and you can be at Green Peter, the water is always warm and there are lots of fingers to get away from crowds however, keep in mind this lake is more primitive. Detroit is centrally located so people from around the state dont have to drive as far. There are also two marinas and plenty of overnight accommadations. That being said, as long as there is water I will be there.

Oh wait thats right. Thats what I was thinking of Green Peter not Foster. Do it at Green Peter!

[RobertJ]

We love Detroit and it is where we go most of the time but it can get blown out and busy. Green Peter would be a blast. What about Lake Billy Chinook?

We could get AWS (or we could chip in ourselves) to rent the party barge from the Cove's marina and we could use that as our base. I know it is a long drive but KT did it last year and spent the night at local Hotel and he said it was a blast. We go over every year for a 4-6 day stint and we stay in the Cabins. We are going again this year.

Anyway pick a place and people will show up

Robert,

We have two of the cabins rented at Billy for 4 nights over Memorial Day weekend. Can't wait.

I also have been meaning to get out to Green Peter so that would be my first choice. But I haven't been to any of the places jester mentioned so I'd be up for seeing a new lake and of course meeting up with fellow Moomba owners.

That's funny! I have 2 cabins at Billy rented for for sept. 6th-9th. Are you guys leaving Billy on the 5th or 6th) I might have to come down early on the 6th and hangout with you for a bit Lol!

[jester]

I have not been to Green Peter before. I know some people that are at Green Peter a lot over the summer and i will ask them how the lake is. Detroit is big and lots of places to camp but at about 10 AM the wind starts to pickup and the middle of the lake becomes useless until about 5PM. You might be able to find a place to wakeboard in the airms if they are not full.

I boated on Lake Billy Chinook 2 summers ago with the Old Supra DD. It was a good time. Spent a long weekend with friends and others at their cabin (if that's what you call it)? Really just camper trailers set up on land that they have :) Wish it was closer :(

[KT Mobius]

I completely forgot about Lake Billy. Robert that would be awsome to rent a houseboat and doc up to it. The weather at Billy is usually nice and hot, so I vote for Billy.

[mmandley]

I prefer Yale to Merwin as Merwin has a Public boat limit due to the private camp grounds.

Yale is also warmer :rolleyes:

[jester]

Who needs warm water when you live in Oregon. Are Yale and Merwin north of Portland? I have not been to them before.

[stretch55]

Who needs warm water when you live in Oregon. Are Yale and Merwin north of Portland? I have not been to them before.

Yeah, I believe they are north east of vancover about 30 or 40 min.

[mmandley]

Yes they are in Washington. They are just north of Battle Grounds up by Amboy. No we dont need warm water but Yale is drained from the bottom into Merwin and this makes Merwin much cooler then Yale.

stretch,

I think you are confusing Labor Day weekend with Memorial Day weekend? We wil be there in May. Have you stayed at the cabins before? They are pretty cool and the best part is that you can rent a slip at the marina for your boat for like $10/day and it's literally about a 30 second walk from your boat slip to the cabin.

[mmandley]

Any dates for this been worked out? Do we have a party planner? Need to get some dates hammered out so people have time to make sure they are off work.

Not all of us get Saturdays and Sundays off naturally, or is it me that is the only one who is forced to work Saturdays? LOL

[jester]

Yes dates would be good. Sorry I started this ball then got side tracked and dropped it. Lets get the body of water set first then we can get a date going. I think we have four good options for a place to hold it. Let me know if another places is a good option. I did not add green peter since i was told there is no docks.

Lake billy (outside of bend to the West)
Fall Creak ( outside of Eugene to the East)
Detroit lake ( outside of Salem to the East)
Yale (Wait this is not in Oregon North of Battle Grounds)

[mmandley]

I vote Fall creek mainly because i love this water, lots of fingers to avoid wind and it has nice ramps.

Billy Second as i haven't been there im told its awesome but does get blown out in the Pm.

Yale third as i know this place well too, good ramps lots of parking but it also gets windy in the mid day.

Detroit forth as i haven't been there no thoughts.

Im willing to travel to any of these locations just need to know when. I'm thinking July is best as at least by then most all of the rain is gone and we have consistent warm temps.

I second Mikes Votes!!!

[byronkoz]

Hmmm just checked and its about a 5-6 hours from here to Bend or Eugene. Depending on were and when im gonna try and plan on bringing the family up for this.

[jester]

Well we have three for Fall creak. Al, Newty, KT_Mobius, RobertJ, KurtL, FlatH20 you guys ok with this location?

[KT Mobius]

Sounds good to me. I've never been there, but have heard good things. Are we going to do a day trip or weekend camp? I'm sure you will have to make a date and hope everyone is available. It's next to impossible to accommodate everyones schedule.

[mmandley]

I can do a day thing or a camp deal. Both work for me. Make it in July or later i will be there. Even if i have to call sick on Saturday lol.

Anyone that needs a little space to bring gear let me know if it fits in my truck ill bring it down for you. We generaly hardly have anything in the bed of the truck so we got lots of room. I know some of you with families have to store a lot of gear and id be happy to haul it for ya.

[jester]

I think we could do a mix of both camping and day. The people who want to come down a day early or night early or stay another day. Then people that just want to come for one day could do that. Even with the lake this close to my house I would also camp if other people where going to camp.

For dates I think late July or early Aug would be good. Water will be a nice warm temp of 75* and all the sticks in the water should have made their way to the shoreline.

[RobertJ]

I like the idea of trying a new place, let us know the date at we will try and be there.

[cab13367]

Well we have three for Fall creak. Al, Newty, KT_Mobius, RobertJ, KurtL, FlatH20 you guys ok with this location?

Okay with me. Never been there so it will be good to see a new place. Am open to either day trip or overnight.

Pick a date so that we can reserve campsites.

Thanks for organizing.

Al

[mmandley]

Thats a long old drag for me. Question... Why not meet up on the columbia?

Stop your whimpering. If we dont do the drive there then they have to drive here. Byronkoz is talking about driving up from Cali.

Besides Fall Creek is really sweet and my misses isnt real fond of rivers, of any sort lol.

[jester]

Mike, You crack me up. I do not know what is up with these Portland peeps and rivers. Guess the only good part of a river is if you head up stream in the morning then if you break down you will end up back at the boat ramp. I also thought the Columbia gets really windy during the day?

[stretch55]

I'm in! I have never been there either but sounds like this will be a great!

[mmandley]

Idk i think its the fact we have so much river water here vs lake water.

Yes the Columbia can get really windy, i have been told by a lot of people don't even take a wake boat to the Columbia unless you have a really good anchor and some serious skills as the water current can make it a real pain to dive.

[cab13367]

Has a date been picked yet? If not, I'd like to propose July 10th & 11th.

[kaneboats]

I grew up on a river. I think lakes are kind of confining. I like the chain of lakes thing though where there is somewhere else to go -- and the huge lakes with fingers where you can hide.

I try to plan vacation for the weekend after the 4th every year. Every idiot has to be out on the 4th. They are either hospitalized or in jail right after that so you have an idiot free lake the following weekend. Enjoy!

[stretch55]

Has a date been picked yet? If not, I'd like to propose July 10th & 11th.

No good for me. I can do 3rd weekend in July or 3rd weekend in August.

[RobertJ]

Jester, I can't make it during the days Al suggested, July 10 & 11 we wil be at Foster Lake for a four day weekend. Just pick a date and we will see if we can make it work out if not there is always next year.

P.S. what about throwing out the invite to the AWS guys to just come and hang out with us. They might like a chance to go to an event like this if the could just be part of the crowd and not be "on duty".

[jester]

The 10th and 11th also do not work for me since i will also be on Foster but doing Coast guard Aux stuff. I like the 3rd weekend in July. The is the 17th and 18th.

Robert, I was going to let the group at AWS know once we have a date. I know they check the boards often so I would believe they know about our evil plans.

[RobertJ]

Jester the 3rd weekend of July sounds great. I will have to look you up on the 10th and 11th at Foster. We go up there on July 8th for four days with our Sunday School Class. We get a group of about 120 people and we are only one of about 4 boats in the group so lots of shuttling people around.

[mmandley]

7-17 and 7-18 work for us also. Make the final call on these dates and ill put in for the time off. I can be there first thing Saturday morning.

If we are camping are you going to make the reservations? If so count me in ill pay whom ever i need for our site if you can reserve it. Let me know any pertainent details.

[cab13367]

I can make the 17th & 18th.

[KT Mobius]

Hey guys, I know it's going to be tuff to hammer out a date so, I think you have to go with whatever works for the majority. Well, guess what? July 17 I will be at Lake Billy for my annual R&R, but if this date works for the rest of the crew I will catch up with you guys in the near future. Or better yet bring the party to Lake Billy.

[stretch55]

So are the dates July 17th and 18th at Foster lake??? if we are going to do this we better get camping sites and what not done ASAP. Stuff is filling up quick!

[cab13367]

Yeah, come on Jester - r u still organizing this or what??

[jester]

Sorry got busy and forgot. I should know better then opening my mouth because whenever i do that i get more work.

I thought it was Fall Creek the 17th and 18th of July?

[newty]

We get back from crescent bar on that saturday and I work all weekend. We're out.:(

[mmandley]

Sorry got busy and forgot. I should know better then opening my mouth because whenever i do that i get more work.

I thought it was Fall Creek the 17th and 18th of July?

At Intel the rule is, you see it or hear, or think it, and that makes you Speak it you OWN it lol. Generally our meetings are pretty quite when it comes to whos doing what LOL.

I can go to Fall Creek, Foster, or LBC just pick it and lets do eeeettt!!!. I will request the Saturday the 17th off and i have the 18th off already. I will get Claudia to take Monday the 19th off so we can stay out late on the water.

Jester get it planned out man LOL.

[jester]

Ok Fine. Fall Creak on July 17th and 18th. Done and Done.

[mmandley]

Ok Fine. Fall Creak on July 17th and 18th. Done and Done.

Coolio man, so are you also grabbing camp sites? If so let me know how much i owe you on the fees for my portion. I plan to have 4 or 5 people most likly 2 tents.

Thanks

[jester]

Mike,

Since it sounds like you know about camp sites I will let you handle that for the group.

[mmandley]

Mike,

Since it sounds like you know about camp sites I will let you handle that for the group.

Know about what? I honestly dont know jack about camp sites. I havnt even camped since i was a teenager man. I wouldnt know the first place to start looking into that. honest.

[stretch55]

Reserveamerica.com everyone should get their own sites. That way if someone handles and pays for all of them and something comes upand some people can't make it they don't get stuck with the bill. Just a suggestion...

Ok ill have Claudia work that out. Shes my planner, i just drive and pay for crap

Claudia just c hecked on this stuff.

12x12
10x10
8x8

are the size of the tent pads.

we are getting a 10x10 and this is the pricing she gave me.

May 1 to September 30
Tent site: $19
Extra vehicle: $5
Daily day use: $5
Yearly day use: $30
Group (RV): $109, and $11 per RV after 10 units. Fisherman's Point Group Camp

[stretch55]

So it looks like they have 2 camp grounds. They have Cascara Campground: Campsites are first-come, first-served. Open May 1 - Sept. 30. 42 tent, maximum site length 45 feet. 5 primitive. Vault toilets. And they have
Fisherman's Point Group Camp: open May 1 - Sept. 30. 8 designated sites, 16 vehicle maximum. Maximum 8 people per site. To make reservations for Fisherman's Point, call 1-800-452-5687. Or there allways Foster Lake. They have camp grounds, cabins, and much more... You can check it out at


fosterlakervresort.com

It's just a thought. I have never been a fan of the first come first serve camping. What if you drive 2hrs, 3hrs or even longer and when you get there they are all full. Then what? Sleep in the boat? LOL!

[mmandley]

OK i have Claudia checking into the camping stuff today. Also i have her getting how many spots are there for that Saturday what times we have to be there by and be gone by.

I gave her the link to Foster and she will look into those as well. If the camping looks more promising at Foster then we will need to move the jam there.

I wish i would have known i was being elected for this a month ago when this thread started. If we want to start doing this each year then i can run the deal but i need more time notice LOL.

[jester]

Mike, I do not think you were elected. I think you were appointed. Elected means you had some sort of say in it and there was a vote. Appointed means some evil dictator fount it to be fun to give you something out of the blue that you did not want. Dang them evil dictators :). Mike I do want to thank you for looking into this for the group.

[RobertJ]

I won't be able to go to Fall Creek since we will already be at Foster with our Sunday School group (I had the wrong weekend marked on my calendar). If you decide to change to Foster remember it is a smaller lake that can get crowded. On a plus side it is only about 15 minutes from Green Peter and so you could camp at Foster and drive up to GP if you wanted to.

[mmandley]

Here is what ive found out. Ok Claudia found out.



Fall Creek:

· They don’t do reservations
· It’s on a first-come, first-served basis=
· $19 per night with 1 vehicle

Detroit Lake:
· They do take reservations
· Only 4 campsites available now
· These sites are away from the water but still relatively close
· Campsites are by the highway so they are noisy
· $19 per night plus $8 service fee per site

Foster Lake:
· There is an RV park (Foster Lake RV Resort) with 3 cabins across the street
o http://www.fosterlakervresort.com/photos.htm
· Cabin fees are $58 per night which is for two people
· Fees for additional people are $5 per person.
· 5 people max per cabin
· The resort will make room for boat trailer parking
· All cabins are available for July 17 as of today
· Reservations require payment of the first night’s stay up front

· Cabin does not have running water – there are bathrooms/showers in the facility
o 1 Queen bed
o 1 bunk bed
o 1 small bed

Sunnyside Park:
· Park by the lake
o http://www.campingfriend.com/SunnysideCountyPark/default.asp?file=Home
· No tent sites available for overnight with 7/17-7/18

Unfortunatly none of those realy work for me and Claudia as we have to bring our dogs. Even though they are kennel trained and indoor dogs we cant even get the cabin.

Our backup plan is we can just get a motel room and stay there Saturday night. This way the event can still happen and we will be there for both days.

Now its time for everyone that realy can make it to post up. This way i have an idea of how many peeps are going and then we can see if we can get some events laid out.

[stretch55]

I am going. I vote Foster since I am allready going to Detroit twice this summer. I want one of those cabins. I will have myself, my sone, my gf, my daughter and my gf's daughter. That makes 5. Good to go. Mike there is a good sized lake in Eugene called Fern Prarie Reservoir but idk if there is any camping??? Also Green Peter Reservoir would be cool too! But also idk if there is any camping there either...

[jester]

I really do not like Fern ridge. short list is there is no arms to get away from the wind and the wind does pick up. Also it is dirty. We call it Dirty ridge.

[cab13367]

Mike, thank Claudia for us for doing all the leg work. We are in and would like one of those cabins as the wife is not crazy about tent camping.

[mmandley]

Yall are very welcome. Just let us know what the final plan is. We are just going to get a motel because of the dogs. I figure my crew will pitch in and it will be about the same as the cabins.

One note about those cabins is Reserve them NOW. They fill up fast.

Also second not is they are primitive cabins. No running water no bathroom in the cabin. Outhouses i believe.

You need to call asap and pay the fee for the cabin, 58 and they will charge you the 5 per person when you check in.

Also tell them you will have a boat, they have room but wanted advance notice when she called.

[mmandley]

Gotta hand it to Claudia. She has been internetting this to death and she found more stuff.

Foster Lake

* Edgewater RV Resort & Marina
http://www.edgewateroregon.com/
* These are RV spots but they allow tents there
- Price is $35 per night
- $15 for boat slips
* They have bathrooms and showers
* Park is about 2 years old so it's in great shape
* They even have events at night on Saturdays and free Breakfast if you get there at 8 a.m on Saturdays
* They allow pets and up to 6 people per site
- No reservation fee
- I don't think there is a fee for additional people after 2 since they have a cap of 6 per site
* To reserve, just call and you'll have to pay a week prior to reservation date or lose your spot

That's pretty much it. I reserved a good spot by the water for us that will be big enough for tents and boats and on the water side.

[jester]

Mike, What site did you get? Do they have a boat ramp also or just slips.

[mmandley]

I will ask Claudia what site we have. Yes they have a boat ramp but at the camp site they only allow RVs up to 35 ft. My truck and trailer are well over 50ft now. So we cant park both at the camp site.

[stretch55]

After visiting Foster Lake and Green Peter Reservoir today. Seeing the lakes and camp grounds and after talking with Mike tonight. The Oregon mini jam has been officially moved to Green Peter Reservoir. The camp ground that they have there is called Whitcomb Creek County Park. They have 39 campsites plus a reservable group area. I am willing to wait until Monday and if I have enough people commited to this trip then I will go ahead and get the group site. If not then we can just get our own sites after Monday. I think the group site would be nice because it is on the water and everyone in this camp area will be part of our group. The normal camp area is not on the water. These are just normal camp sites. Fire pit, picnic table, restrooms but non flushable. There is no morage but there is plenty of parking for the boats on the trailers. This lake is HUGE! this is the best choice for evyone I think. Here is the link to the campsite info,

http://www.campingfriend.com/WhitcombCreekCountyPark/

[cab13367]

The missus is not fond of primitive camping so we'll either do a day trip or stay someplace else, maybe one of the cabins at the rv park at Foster. But we plan to come.

[mmandley]

Thanks Eric im down with a Group site with you man. Eric text me the price of the group site, if its not to crazy ill buy in with you, i know i can get my crew to pitch in for fees. I am quite sure Jester will pitch in on this and possible some others.

Al i understand your wife perfectly on this LOL. If i was you Al get the cabin for the family. THen you can just leave your boat on the trailer with the rest of ours and drive your truck to the cabin. I know the Cabins don't really have room for the boat as they told Claudia to remind them we have a big truck and trailer LOL.

[jester]

I am down. Guess we have the dates and location. Next on my list is to build a good crew.

[stretch55]

I am down. Guess we have the dates and location. Next on my list is to build a good crew.

I will let everyone know Monday if we can get the group site or not. If not as of today there were like 20 or 21 sites avaolable for the night of the 16th and 17th. So we should be good if we can't get the group site.

[mmandley]

Ok make sure if we cant get the group site post the site your at or see if you can get a site with several open around you that we can all start grabing up.

[stretch55]

Ok make sure if we cant get the group site post the site your at or see if you can get a site with several open around you that we can all start grabing up.

Will do buddy!

[stretch55]

Ok so the group site is $200.00 a night and a $50.00 deposit. So it would be $450.00 to book and Mike and I do not want to front that. So they have about 20 or so individual sites left. I got Sites 14 and 15. I will post the link to reserve below. Do it Quick!!!

Stretch,

Thanks for looking into this for us.

[cab13367]

Alright, I'm committed - just booked one of the cabins at the Foster Lake RV park for Friday and Saturday night. We will just come up and hang with you guys during the day/early evening then head down to our cabin to sleep.

Haven't seen much activity from anyone other than stretch, mandley, and jester. Is anyone else going to make it?

I hope so! I thought for sure David was coming. I also thought a couple guys from salem and one or two from nothern cali. I guess if they don't then 4 is still a crowd lol! But the more the marrier!

[jester]

Do not worry about the amount of people. I can break more stuff by 10AM then most people can break all month. This will be a blast.

[KT Mobius]

what time do you guys plan on being at the lake on the 17th? Im going to lake Billy that day, but I am interested in stopping buy and saying hi.

Mike, AL and myself are staying Friday and Saturday night. Al is staying at Foster Lake resort in a cabin and driving up during the daytime to hang with the crew.

[RobertJ]

I am with my church group during the same weekend at Foster. We normally try and head up to Green Peter at least one of the mornings for some nice finger glass. I will try and meet up with the group while we are up there.

[cab13367]

Mike, AL and myself are staying Friday and Saturday night. Al is staying at Foster Lake resort in a cabin and driving up during the daytime to hang with the crew.

Yup, we are driving down first thing Friday morning and hitting the lake as soon as we get there.

Stretch/Mike,

When are you guys arriving Friday? If not til later in the day, we may just boat on Foster Friday and check it out since we have not been on either lake before. Then we could drive up to Green Peter Friday night and hang out at your campsite for a while.

Well check in isn't until 2:30 but I am going to try and sneek in around 11:00 or 12:00. I am bring my RV so if I can't put it at the site I will just have to park it in the overflow and drop the boat and hangout on the lake until 2:30 then I can park the RV. Nothing to really set up. There are no hook ups so just park it, level it and light the hot water heater.

[mmandley]

Me and Claudia just booked site 16 right next to you Stretch. We will be arriving Friday in the evening depending on what time i can get off work early. I hope to be off by 3pm so we can hit some evening water.

Ok sounds good. I will try to get out of work early on Friday or "my tummy hurts" and get to the lake. If not then I will not be there until 9pm or so. Also depends on my crew since I still have not built that yet. Hahah I am being slacker Mike

I'm headed to lake billy for the week. Take plenty of pics. For those that haven't been to green Peter you will love it. Foster looks sweet, but green Peter is where you want to be.

Guys sorry to say but i have to bail out. It is sad but a friend is leaving for over 6 months. I might try to make it up there on Sunday but do not know. Hope you guys have a blast.

Heck yeah, it's open to everyone. Come on down!

You guys have a good time, be safe, and don't forget the cameras!!!!!!!!

Well, the Oregon Mini Jam has come and gone. A total of three boats showed up - me, mandley, and stretch. I did meet RobertJ at Foster Lake on Friday - good meeting you Robert!

Green Peter Lake was pretty crowded and windblown on Saturday so we spent most of it tied up in one of the lake's fingers. Except that it was hard to stay anchored in about 70' of water with only a 100' anchor rope! As the day wore on, more and more boats left and we finally fired up our Moombas and got on with the water sports. As we went up and down this particular finger of the lake, I kept seeing stretch's and mandley's boats but few others. So I guess we know who the posers are and who the true enthusiasts are!

Hope that more boats can join us next year. Green Peter is a beautiful lake and I will definitely be visiting it again this year.

[kaneboats]

Too bad. We still want to see your pics though!

[moombadaze]

photo's---we need photo's

[cab13367]

I didn't take a whole lot, just a couple of stretch trying to set his anchor for the third time (LOL). I'll check the camera tonight to see if there is anything worthy of posting.

[jester]

Good to hear you guys had a good time. Let me know next time you head down this way and I will try to meet up with you.
