A big thank you is in order for Bruce and Stacie for organizing this past weekend's fun on the beach.

Despite the Friday afternoon parking lot called I-5 it was a very enjoyable weekend.

I love how we all "went with the flow" and shifted things around to make it work.

Do we have to wait two years or can we find a weekend in 2016 to do it again?

Hi Stacie,

Had to show you the colorful accessorizing I saw on a SILK GREEN!

Yay!  I'm so glad you found it.  Now that Hazel has learned the word "Mine" we weren't going to last long with just one.

We are half an hour behind getting out of Federal Way due to folks arriving late because of bad traffic. See you in Olympia closer to 5:45.

1.  Thanks for the Glympse info.  Downloading it now.

2.  We've updated the "Things to Bring" list as we prepare to pack...

3.  We keep forgetting to tell you guys we'll be in town for Westport Pirate Days!!! Argh!  Do with that what you will.

4.  All are welcome to bring games to play around the campfire.

5.  Unless we hear otherwise, we'll expect to see all but Bryan & Elizabeth and Steve & Sheryl at the Federal Way departure point.

See you tomorrow!

ok, I think I figured out how to make a "Group" Glympse (you just make up a name, load it in your web browser, and click join)

How go view my live GPS location

How to join and show the world your GPS location
Step 0: have Glympse installed
Step 1. open http://glympse.com/!PSMINI in your smartphone's web browser
Step 2. click "Join Group"
Step 3. it will launch your Glympse App (if installed)
Step 4. click share

don't feel obligated at all to join, but feel totally free to view, all you need is a web browser



note: I have t-mobile, so once I'm outside civilization, my data connection may be spotty, and so my GPS updates may be lacking.

either way, I think everyone here will look here first, but I can post the Glympse link here and just on the PSMINI general facebook, then the whole club can watch our progress, it'll only take 3 extra seconds

Hey Kuren,

Would it be easier for folks using Glympse if I created a Facebook event and you posted it there?

Thanks,
Stacie

Sooz and I are going to leave from Seattle at 1:45 and take a slow way down.  If anyone wants to meet us at the Spaghetti Factory on Elliot at 1:40 and drive the long way with us, here is the route we're going to take http://goo.gl/VXTciO
We should arrive at the official starting area around 2:40 (so 20 minutes buffer)  I will post a Glympse at 1:30-ish in this forum.

Yes, the route to Westport will take us through the US 101/Hwy 8 interchange.  We anticipate driving through there at approximately 5:15pm, based on our most recent test drive in Friday night, rush hour traffic.

The official start of the drive is the driver's meeting at 3:00pm in Federal Way.  We'll roll out at 3:15pm. Folks are welcome to connect on the way to Federal Way and we'll see you there!

Bruce and Stacie

Logistically, from the West Olympic Peninsula, it works best for us to meet up in the Olympia area as you all come through. We can follow on Glympse and catch the group around the HWY 101 and SR 8 interchange... if that is the route planned for getting to Grayland.

We are consulting with the locals about the best beach route and the tides.

The top post has been updated with departure location, revised schedule and local information.  Here is the list of attendees THAT WE KNOW OF AT THIS TIME.  This puts us at 9 cars among the 8 cabins whose occupants we know. 

If you do not see your name on this list, or you are the Mystery Person in Cabin 7, or you plan to motor with us and stay elsewhere in Westport, we need to hear from you in order to know how many cars to expect at either the Federal Way departure point or the rolling meet up at the Park and Ride.  We don't want to leave anyone behind!

Cabin 1 - Steve and Sheryl
Cabin 2 - David
Cabin 3 - Hot Chocolate (Boones)
Cabin 4 - SAMSON (Rushbys)
Cabin 5 - MacCauls/Wilds - 2 cars
Cabin 6 - Sixate (Bryan and Elizabeth)
Cabin 7 - MYSTERY PERSON
Cabin 8 - Not from PSMINI (Standing reservation aka Our New Best Friends)
Cabin 9 - Kuren & Sooz 
Cabin 10 - Valvashon (Bruce, Stacie, Elliott, Hazel) 

Thanks!
Bruce and Stacie

Sooz and I have Cabin number 9, and GingerSpice will be taking our fold out couch.

Also, I checked out the tide chart, looks like we'll be driving on the beach at a 5' high tide, 11:06am
we might want to drive on the beach Saturday.  We could scope out what 5' tide looks like Friday night as we arrive (6:15pm)



Sixate, we'll be starting in Seattle and will post a Glympse link so y'all can track us live on a map as we head south.


From what I can tell, this is the current list of occupancy:

Cabin bedrooms beds max occupancy reserved by

1 1 1 queen 2 Steve and Sheryl

2 1 1 queen 2 Julzmini

3 1 1 queen 2 unknown

4 2 1 queen 6 SAMSON/Rushby's
2 double

5 2 1 queen 6 Sixate
2 double

6 2 1 queen 4 unknown
1 queen

7 2 1 queen 6 OPEN / AVAILABLE
2 double

8 2 1 queen 6 unknown
2 double

9 1 1 queen 4 Kuren & Sooz +  GingerSpice
1 hide-a-bed

10 1 1 queen 2 valvashon
