So just when is the OSS going to open up pre-reg. for 2011? Before I apologies for pushing this day back week by week let me explain. We have an opportunity to reserve a beautiful "private" camp site about 1 hr. outside of Eugene, Oregon.
I would love to know what you all think of it, but I better give you some details to work with.
Camp White Branch
Located in the Cascade Mountains of western Oregon, Camp White Branch near Sisters, Oregon. It was built 1934 in the heart of the depression. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the congress had established the Civilian Conservation Corps for boys ages 17 to 25.
It is currently run by The Church of God as a summer camp and retreat center. I have spoken to them about the nature of our meeting and they are pleased to have us.!! I will put some pictures I took while touring the grounds on the website.
Expected Prices
Package 1: 3 day pass to OSS 2011 camping or bunk lodging-"first come, first serve", Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, full use of the CWB and facilities such as showers and toilets and perhaps swimming pool---120.00
Package 2: 3 day pass to OSS 2011 camping or RV-"first come, first serve", NO MEALS PROVIDED. CWB does not allow any outside cooking while on the premises due to conservation issues...NOT MY RULE, BUT THEIRS. Full use of the CWB facilities such as showers and toilets and perhaps pool---75.00
Package 3: 3 day pass to OSS 2011! No Camping/Meals/Use of CWB Facilites---40.00
The prices are subject to change, but are pretty close to the real cost of us doing it out there. There is of course a benefit to having the OSS off the beaten path and seeing how things turn out, but the price for some may be a bit out of hand.
Expected guest so far this years festivities...Beth Heikenin, Dr. Matt Johnson, Thom Powell for starters. I have 3 unconfirmed speakers I am working with and seeing what we can match up. Music/ Campfires/ Night Hikes/Waterfalls/ The Smell of Doug Firs/ Wildlife and Brew....it sounds pretty darned fun to me.
PLEASE email me the feedback of what your thoughts on this are.
This will be on Father's Day weekend again.
One other thing!
The Bigfoot and Beer was a suprise hit this month. So just a reminder to anyone that did not come last time, we are meeting at 6:30 pm up at IKE's, directions on the website, the 2nd Wed. of every month. I was to be honest, a little shocked at the turn out and was unprepared for the crowd. Here's what will happen in December. There will either be a presentation on the Hairy Natives The Pacific Coast Native American Oral Traditions of Sasquatch....or.....I will have a selection from the OSS DVD ready to show as a teaser to it's forthcoming release.
Then afterwards,,,,anyone who is game and not to loaded, how's about a night hike stroll?
