Warrenton Dock C-Brat gathering

Do I need to bring the burner and pot to cook the corn??? I could pack the burner but hesitate to bring a propane bottle.

Oh no, no problem. I got a burner, a full bottle, and a couple sizes of pots. Don't have far to haul it, either.

Besides, I don't want you to get too tired out hauling stuff. You have to get up early for fishing. I will be down at the dock and ready to go about 10:00 Saturday morning, ya know. Now tell me the truth - ain't it better to get up for a boat ride at 10:00 than it is to get up for a tractor ride at 5:00?

Don't worry about the fishing gear. There will be plenty to go around.
 
I'll be coming alone or with Austin, leaving as early Saturday morning as I can drag it out of bed (Patty will be on a wine tour with daughter Lydia and some other friends). Oh, yes, the durn dog will be coming (tip o' the hat to Tyboo!) So, what is the exit from I-5? I gather I exit on the Washington side, go over a bridge from Longview and just head west on Hwy 30...but it would be helpful to have a freeway exit number...

Glad to hear you're coming down, Pat. Head accross the Longview/Ranier Bridge, .... coming off the bridge take Hwy 30 west to Astoria. Go through Astoria and accross the Youngs Bay Bridge, follow the signs to Warrenton. (Turn right just before the shopping center) Just as you're coming into Warrenton there is a Bait Shop called "Tackle Time" on the left. That's where you want to go, just drive around their building under the bridge and you'll be in the Warrenton dock parking lot. Look towards the water and you'll see some C-Dory's. That'll be us. :mrgreen:
Boy, I'm pumped. I've been couped up in the house nursing a sore back for the last month. It's sure going to feel good to get out and do some fishin'.

Ok
Yes,MIKE, it is far more enjoyable to get up to fish whatever time it is ....lol....
the worst day of fishing is always better than the best day working !!!!!

I will forget about throwing in the burner and pot. we are gonna bring down a special treat for ELL, and the rest of ya too ...lol...

as to the fishing- Thanks Larry for the Offer and thanks Tyboo for your generosity. I guess we will have to play it by ear as to what transpires.
 
We'll be anchored tonight in the vicinity of Wallace Island and be using Clifton and Prairie channels and proceeding through the Knappa Slough to Tongue Point arriving Warrenton later tomorrow afternoon. Saturday we'll be able to stay for a bit but need to do some exploring in the Gray's Bay area and also look at some property on Deep River before stopping for the night in Cathlamet.
Looking forward to my first C-Brat happening. (Is there an initiation and if so, will I have to eat anything blindfolded????)

I don't know the exit number, I only know it as the Longview/Carrolls exit. It'll be about the 3rd Longview exit as you're coming from the north on I-5. From the Longview/Carrolls exit head towards Longview. Take the 3rd St. exit then take a left onto 3rd St which will make a bend and become Industrial Way. Stay in the left hand lane. Industrial Way will take you right up to the approach to the the Longview/Ranier Bridge.

will I have to eat anything blindfolded????)

Chuck, I suppose we could put a blindfold on one of Mike's Razor Clams, though I'm not sure where their little eyeballs are. :mrgreen: Looking forward to meeting you there.

Hey, just curious, how many miles is your joint from Seattle?
:?:

I don't really know, CM. All of the many times I have made the trip to see you, the sheer joy of being in your company has made the distance insignificant.

Tiffany was really hoping you would be here, but she understands why you can't.

Pat - I do believe it is exit 36, but I may be wrong. Larry is right on about it being the Longview/Carrols exit. I think it also says on the sign something about the Longview industrial area. It is not near as complex as it sounds. All roads lead to Oregon.
 
Well, looks like Laurie and I are gonna come down sans boat,due to our time compression. We plan to maybe stay at the H.I. Express I think. Couldn't pass this chance up to visit with El, Bill, and all of ya !!
 
OK, thanks Larry - sounds like I will be able to find it, although I am severely directionally challenged (I have to stand on my head to go south using the GPS chartplotter, this is not a joke). Next question, if I come down Friday night with a tent and a sleeping bag, wil there be some place to crash? Would like to mooch a ride with somebody for the fishing trip...will leave the durn dog home if I come for fishing...

Thanks a lot, Pat. Now I have to go mow the stupid lawn! Tiffany says you can pitch your tent here only if you bring the durn dog. And there should be no shortage of boat seats open for fishing. Your best bet would be to stowaway on the Raven. He's the local semi-pro, and he always gets fish. Roger ain't that damn big, so there will be room for one more on the TyBoo, too.

Actually, we would love to let you in the house, along with anyone else who needed, but the house is pretty full up these days.

Now then, J&L, and anyone else, you would also be welcome to camp out! Yeah, no kidding! Or, I just called the Shilo Inn, which can't be more than a mile from the mooring basin, and they have vacancies for the weekend. The lady said if the reservations are made tonight, she will give a special rate. Of course, that rate is still 95 bucks, but it beats what they normally charge. The number is (503) 861-2181. If it were me, I think it would be best to stay in the back yard here and watch Pat try to get out of the tent when the herd of elk rumbles through.

Of course, you always have the option of sleeping with Roger on the TyBoo.

If you guys can stay there for two weeks or so, I'll head west.... :teeth Charlie

My great granddad bought the back yard in 1915, so there's a pretty good chance at least some of us will still be here! See you sometime around the end of the month!?!

The elk only come visit once in a while. The deer show up every day, though. You gotta be nice to the deer. The kids named 'em!
 
I meant at the dock Mike.... :D I can see you guys anytime I come out, if I can ever make it....El and Bill have to be caught at a certain moment :smile . Tell Bambi that I'll be out sooner or later after my new knee is back in battery. You guys have a good time, we'll be thinking of all of you...

Sounds like it's going to be a good time this weekend. The lovely Terrie and won't be able to make down. We just opened our restaurant 3 weeks ago and are currently working 25 hrs. a day, six days a week.

Tip a cold one for us :beer . Jon
 
OK Roger - The boat is cleaned up (kinda), the shore power is plugged in, the water heater is on, and the fridge is on and stocked with smoked sturgeon, beer, and a couple flavors of Oregon wine for Lisbeth to share with El. Also, the breakfast pastries are on the table. About all I have to do now is take the fancy rug down there and throw it back on the floor. See ya soon.
 
Roger and Lisbeth,

You are lucky folks. That's better treatment than the durn dogs get. Maybe I'm coming up and staying on the wrong boat. Oh well.

See you on the dock,

Tim
