Where is everyong going this year?

Paul - Silver Falls is such a nice park! We've made several day trips there but have never camped there. My mom used to take me there when I was little. There should be a lot of water in the falls at that time of the year; we usually go there in June or July when there's not much water. One year the tulips in Woodburn bloomed early (over Easter break) so we were able to see them...quite a sight to see...

We've been to Silver Falls also, and it is beautiful. If you're in that area for very long, there are quite a few covered bridges around there which are very scenic. I have pictures of both on my WebShots site if you're interested. http://community.webshots.com/user/erdman_jf They're on about page 4 of the site - depending how yours are displayed.

Thanks for the additional information on Silver Falls and the area around it. We will use some of that info.

My older brother, now deceased, told us Silver Falls was the most beautiful park in Oregon. He moved his family to Portland in 1960 and lived in Oregon and Washington (Whidby Island) until he retired in 1990. He was not a camper, but they enjoyed seeing the sights in their home states.

We stayed overnight in Silver Falls about 4 years ago as we were on our way to Turner for a weekend rally. Loved our initial exposure to it that we are making a return trip and will spend as many nights there as we need to see all the neat stuff in the park and surrounding countryside.

Thanks again for your suggestions.

I'd really like to go...but it's so far away and in the other direction of where we need to go, to OR & WA. It would be fun to see you again, Larry, and meet all of the other TM board members who are going to be there. Who are Ralph & Val? Do they live around here?

Sorry, they live up in the Napa area. Well, maybe we will get a chance to meet up again sometime this year.

Besides doing some local camping in Michigan, we're heading back to Cherokee, North Carolina for a week in the Smoky Mountains. Then we're heading over to Nashville for a couple of days, then to Santa Claus, Indiana (yes, there is such a place!) for a few relaxing days at the water park there. From there, we're heading over to Dayton, Ohio for a couple of days at the Air Force museum and air show and then back to lovely Detroit. All in all, should be a relaxing 16 days.
