Greetings from the PNW

Greetings!

I live up here in the Pacific NW in a little town called Graham, WA. I've stuck to tent camping most my life but after a career in the Army my back can"t handle the tent anymore, so it is time to upgrade my accomodations. I wanted something comfortable yet would keep me connected to the outdoors. After quite a bit of research, including lurking on this forum as well as scouring the net, I've placed my order for a 550 Ultra. I'm super excited for its arrival this winter and breaking it In this next spring. I hope our paths cross out there on the road someday.

Cheers!
Daryl

 

The ground also get harder as we get older. Mine is a couple of months away. We both live in the best part of the US to camp.

I am sure we will cross paths this next summer with our new toys.

Oh Mannnn.. heheh... Breaking in next SPRING??? yikes, that's a whole lifetime away.. gots to get out there before then... plenty of nearby campsites... Deception Pass, Fort Casey/Ebey.. Rasar...
Sigh, So few campsites, so little time... get it out before Spring.. and Dave_Dixie? you have the beautiful beaches...
Just "Git'er out there and do it.." heheheh.. their a kick, Dry sleeping, Outdoor cooking... best of both worlds..

 

Whoops, Graham.. sorry, was thinking Bellingham.. well, that's even better... Belfair, in that area... just to camp..
Check it... State Parks coming to an area near you.. heheh..

 

Not quite a lifetime, about 6 - 8 weeks after arrival until I get a 10 day vacation. Will I be able to wait those weeks? Probably not, pretty sure I'll take it out for a weekend or three in there.

 

Yah, Daryl,
Even just a local ones for a night or Fri/Sat night. The beauty of Fall/winter camping is there's always a spot, no bugs, no traffic and few kids... just to break it in so-to-speak.. fun..
2 hrs away max are a lot of them...

 

Daryl welcome you are going to love your Camp Inn,now you have to endure the wait.

 

Yeah! Another PNWer! Hopefully we will meet you at the round-up next year and maybe we'll see you on the road! Congrats and welcome!

 

Welcome and Congratulations, Daryl!

This forum is worth its weight in gold for all of the questions that can be answered!

 

Thanks everyone, I'm excited for the adventures to begin!
