  • Alder Lake just 3 weeks away!!!!

    With only three weeks until the Alder Lake treasure hunt, preparations have now moved into the final stages. If you did not indicate in the previous post whether or not you will be attending please do so here. We have a unique treasure this year but it will be limited to those who attend. It is a special order item so we need to have a good idea of attendance. We know that some of you may not know until late if you will be there and that is OK. But if you have the slightest inkling that you may make it, please respond here by the 10th of June. I hate to harp on this but we really want to make sure there is enough treasure for everyone. So even if you don't have a working boat( you can always hitch a ride with most any of us) but plan to attend, say so now! OK with that said let us give you some more info.
    As previously mentioned we will be having another potluck this year. If it is anything like last years you may need to plan a nap into your afternoon. So along with your attendance reply please indicate what delicious food item you may bring, be it salad, side dish, dessert, main course, bag of chips, roll of mentos etc. That way we don't wind up with thirty of the same item. The potluck will be held at the day use area which is just up the hill from the mooring docks immediately following the treasure hunt.
    If you are planning to stay at the Alder Lake Park campground for the weekend it is a good idea to make reservations. The link is posted at the bottom of the page. On this website you will find driving directions, park address, reservations and if you download the park brochure you'll find much more useful information. If camping is not your idea of fun there is also a very nice motel in the nearby town of Eatonville just 9 short miles away. A link to the Mill Village motel is also at the bottom of the page.
    The boat launch we will be using is just off of the main road going to Alder Lake Park. It is a nice launch with a dock and restrooms. It is also free and with two parking lots available there is more than enough room.
    With the 27th closing in quickly our excitement is growing as we rush to finish the last few details. So ready yer vessel and amass yer crew! There soon be treasure to find says I.

        I will be there with at least Cole, and hopefully the rest of the family. I am hoping to have my Playmaster running again by that time, but if all else fails, I will bring the Tolly. We may even be to the "testing" stage with my Dad's little Tolly. Can't wait for the event! See you soon!

          Kathie and I plan to be there, but my cousin died Saturday night so we may have to go to his memorial service. We don't know when that will be yet.

          However the freezer is filled with frozen ribs soon to be "Lip Smackin' BBQ Ribs", which we will get there somehow.

          We'll be there again with no boat. Too much going on to even get it out of mothballs so far this year.

            Jack, It's great to hear that Kathy is recovering well enough to even consider making the trip to Lake Alder. Great news.

                Sarah and I are planning to attend the treasure hunt. We may come down on Friday and stay at the motel then camp on Sat. and leave Sunday. We are coming from Bellingham so we will probably have to come later in the evening to miss the traffic? We will bring a salad dish of some kind to keep in the ice chest. We are looking forward to this event so we can meet alot of the people we know only by club names.

                  The Dr says she is disgustingly healthy, he has moved up her next surgery to late July or early August. She started working again yesterday short hours and a carpool so she doesn't have to drive.

                  We got her a new car Saturday but she'll never get to drive it. Her round trip is 8 miles, mine is 60. It gets twice the mileage of my truck. It's a no-brainer.

                      No problem!! We'll count you as coming that way if you can make it we will have you covered and if you can't...... well, you'll just have to live knowing that you missed the best event of the year is all. LOL Thanks for letting us know.
