2015, Oct. 1-4, 2015: 2015 Fall NOG - Northern Oregon Gathering

Oct. 1-4, 2015 — Fort Stevens State Park
(Northern Oregon Coast)

Saturday night of Fall NOG, as a group, we decide where to go the following fall. The majority wanted to camp at Fort Stevens on the northern Oregon coast. Well, there was a conflict with the "normal" dates... with the entire City of Astoria, which is just north of Fort Stevens! Seems there was a HUGE festival happening during our normal dates and everyone was fearful Fort Stevens would fill with "festival" folks other than NOGgers. Hence, the date change. The date changes aren't normal and may not happen in the future.. so, don't count on it! After more than a decade of twice-a-year NOGs, the dates are pretty set in stone. If I have my way...

THANKS to Thom and Cari (Parkliner owners) for spending time at Fort Steven and talking to the Park Rangers. I really DO appreciate their efforts, truly. I asked them to check out the biggest, flattest, close-to-restrooms site that would available during the NOG. I'm now reserved in N26 (Wed-Sun).

So... make your reservations. Only N and O loops will be open during the Fall NOG. It appears only O loop has a restroom with showers. Pay attention!

Check out everything available at the park... Fort Stevens State Park and reserve online:
Oregon State Parks and Recreation Department: Fort Stevens State Park

Campground site brochure: http://oregonstateparks.org/index.cf...vens095725.pdf

As usual, I'll keep names/map updated at CasitaForum here: 2015 Fall NOG - Northern Oregon Gathering - Casita Travel Trailer Forum. Please, please don't post in both forums. It doesn't take much to confuse me. I'll think you're joining us twice!

Ready, set... GO!

We snagged O-01 Wednesday - Sunday. Now I just have to work up the courage to pull Toto across that tall, narrow bridge across the Columbia.

In 24 hours, posted here, on Facebook (Oregon Gatherings), FiberglassRV and CasitaForum.. we have SEVEN Escapes and a Moho signed up. The NOGs are about all molded towables, but if you own something else and want to join in... y'all come! As I often say, small "plastic" trailers bring us together, but it's ALL about the people.

Thanks again Donna for 'not organizing' this! We are really looking forward to our Ft Stevens NOG. Here's a link to some fun things to do in Astoria
The Weekend Escape Plan - Astoria -- New York Magazine
We will be in O 2.



PS If you toot across the bridge - the Long Beach Peninsula on the Washington side of the Columbia is also fun Long Beach

Doug, we've been across the bridge several times with the 21, no problem!

Okay, thanks! I can always just close my eyes and stomp on the gas pedal, and we'll be in downtown Astoria in no time.

YEP! Our build date is mid-September, which puts us in the neighborhood.

The timing is fantastic!

This is the week that ETI will start building our Escape 21.

It seemed like the right time to make reservations for the Fall NOG.

We will be in site O53 arriving on Wednesday and leaving on Monday.

We are looking forward to meeting all of you.

Lotar & Wendy in their new used Escape 17B will be in O30 on Thursday as the tail end of a planned but unstructured 6-week trip through Yellowstone & meandering through Utah before heading home to Vancouver Island. Since we missed Osoyoos rally, and Oregon Coast has long been a favourite of ours, we decided we'd try dipping our toes in a group rally at NOG! Looking forward to meeting you folks.

Just updated the participants list and map on the CasitaForum. We now have 18 Escapes coming out of 45 trailers. SWEEET! Plenty of room in the park, anyone else want to come join us?
