Same deal as last year, we need 7 "Guardians of the Meeting Hall" (email backchannel at 10$ check/paypal to get your name in lights- i.e. ink on the printer paper).

NOTE:
Each person needs to get their own campsite this year. Last year we got hassled over and over about the "2nd Vehicle" rule, so please just spend the extra 9 bucks and get your own site. We take over the A LOOP, so reserve sites there. Latecomers, just show up, read the reserve list (posted at the campground), and grab one close by. The meeting hall is by A51, so go for a site near
there.

This website will tell you what is still available: www.oregonstateparks.org
Events include "Saturday afternoon bus tour" and "Sunday at the recycling center", plus SATURDAY NIGHT HUGE POTLUCK and campfires, and beach walks, trash pickup, dog walking, VW socializing, and all the other good WetWesties VW comparing, chatting, and yummy eating! Email with questions. Looks to be another good year in VW land!

Bring all those receipts you couldn't write off and throw them in the fire!
10 private acres outside of Corvallis -- no rangers, no hassles, FREE CAMPING

There will be fire, there will be rockets, there may even be live music! (Note to musicians: bring your instruments.) There will be lots of room! There is even access for the moderately adventurous to a side channel of the Willamette River for kayaks, etc. This campout will be held on private property, so there will be no electricity or water available, but, after all, the camping is FREE. ;-)

-> we *are* looking for 10 "Guardians of the Potty" -- well, OK, Honey Bucket sponsors -- at $10 each. Since the camping is FREE, that shouldn't be too painful.

Saturday night potluck, as always -- if you have a folding table and/or folding canopy, please bring them! We can construct our own meeting hall.

"We have some exciting things in the works for Cruise for the Cure 2006. Although there will be some subtle changes from years past, the heart and soul of this event is clearly untouched. Clear your calendars for May 7th, 2006 for the Longest VW Cruise in the Northwest. Still about 100miles, still going up to Snoqualmie Summit, Still going to Lake Samamish State Park.
One of the new additions to this years event is an Aircooled VW that we are Giving away. THATS RIGHT!
More details on what to expect, and how you can get involved will follow soon."

Cost: about 1$/wheel/night :-)  So Curt gets to pay more with his motorbikes and trailer :-)  CHEAP! Don't let the camping cost keep you from going, ok?

gather and share more informally and also all day Saturday. In the past we have tried a pancake breakfast on Sunday so keep that in mind too.
