As you may have noticed I have not posted any updates about the NW Round-Up #6. I have been pretty busy lately trying to get ready for retirement and have not had much time to work on getting a venue. I think based on the number of parties we had last year and the cost of Mossyrock that it...

Even though attendance was down from last year, with the addition of the comedic stylings of Sue we managed to have way more fun than is good for good wholesome campers. The lake was down quite a bit and there was a lot of smoke in the air from all the forest fires. The field trip on...

Shirley and I are looking forward to visiting with everyone this year. Due to work demands, we will not be showing up until Friday afternoon. If you have any problems getting on the site tomorrow, let me know. Like most Washington State Parks, Mossyrock is experiencing drought conditions...

The endorsements keep coming in! Donald Trump calls the NW Roundup the greatest event he has never been to. You will all want to be here just in case the Donald makes an appearance! Now for the details, which look suspiciously like last year’s. When: Thursday August 20 through Sunday...

There is less than one month to go before the Round-Up! Make your plans; just be sure to bring your own rain. For information about the event, please see the first post in this thread. If you have any questions, please PM me. Remember, this is not an organized event. Just show up...

Hello fellow campers, I am happy to report that there is nothing to report; everything is proceeding as planned. I just wanted to remind everyone that the Round-Up may have been sleeping but that it is starting to wake up and everyone should be making plans to attend this celebrated event...

The 2015 NW Roundup is scheduled for August 20th through the 23rd. Three nights. The location is the same as last year, Mossyrock WA. I will create a new thread so I can keep current information at the top of the thread. Everyone is welcome.

Re: Dometic CFX-35US Sale There are plenty of vendors, including Camp-Inn still selling the CF-35 version. It won't be at the Camping World price but you can get it for not much more. Check out Defender. Also, there is the Norcold version that will fit and that is also widely sold. Unless I...

The question about the newer version of the Dometic, which I do not believe anyone has posted answer for, is will it fit the cooler footprint in the galley? The CF-35 does, but I am not sure about the CF-35X? Does anyone know?

Re: NW Round up I must provide fair warning, NW Round-Up tm is officially a disorganized event. There are no rules, no schedule, no contests, no sing-alongs, no white elephant exchanges, no workshops, no standup comedy night, no awards banquet, well you get the idea. Of course, if...

Re: NW Round up Apparently Mossyrock reservations are now synchronized with the regular Washington State Parks system and reservations can be made up to a year in advance. What this means fellow campers is that I was able to successfully book the 5th Annual NW Round-up for August 20th...

Re: NW Round up OK, based on the input of one brave soul, it looks like the current preferred dates are the nights of August the 20th through the 22nd. I am kicking in a third night just because that is how we have done things in the past and there is always tradition that has to be followed...

Re: NW Round up OK, it looks like something in the range of early-July through August is preferred. Since I need to make the reservations on the 1st of January in order to ensure we get the weekend we want, I would appreciate it if we could settle on which dates to try for before then...

Re: NW Round up Unless an alternative venue comes up, NWRU #5 will be held at Mossyrock on a date to be determined. The options are Memorial Day or sometime late July, early August. I guess it is not too early to start getting input about what dates people would prefer.

Re: NW Round up My understanding is that if no other venue works out for the group that I will book Mossyrock again on 1/1/2015, the earliest I can book it. I am still hopeful that another location will be found; Mossyrock should be considered the fall back option.
