Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2004Camping information: Heading west.
Hey all, Well, it looks like the trip is a go for all four of us, Rob, Mandy, Mike, and me. Mike called this evening and left a message saying that he's been approved for leave. I'll find out more later, we were at the school art show and contest for Mandy when he called. Our itinerary looks like this: June 12 Bristol TN/VA camping on a friend's front lawn June 13 Memphis--America's Best Campground June 14 Lawton Oklahoma --Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge June 15 Albuquerque New Mexico---KOA campgrounds June 16&17 Flagstaff Arizona--KOA campground June 18 Provo Utah, still trying to hear back from KOA June 19 Mountain Home Idaho--KOA Campgrounds June 20 Lewiston Idaho--In time for Father's day While we're visiting we'll be camping in Washington State. June 23&24 Steamboat Rock campground near Grand Coulee Dam Laser light show and seeing my old stomping grounds June 25 Osoyoos Campground outside Oroville Washington. June 26-27 maybe into Canada, maybe not we have to be back June 28 Lewiston Idaho Rob's mom's Purrday. So if we can hook up with you, please let us know. We're planning on visiting with Steve and Sherry in Lawton and Christine in Albuquerque. The other places are still open. Also hoping to hook up with Sam Nash in Washington as well as some relatives at Steamboat Rock. The tentative itinerary for the trip back is to follow I-90 through Wyoming and into South Dakota, head down to Denver, then follow I-70 through Kansas City, visit with relatives outside KC, then through Missouri down I-24 to Nashville, TN, and then back to Bristol TN and then home. We'll probably leave on July 8 and be able to have Mike back in school on time. Pam S. really nervous and excited. > Pam S. really nervous and excited. Purrs that you all have a wonderful time and everything goes without a hitch. My mental eye can just see all the homeless kitties along your route preparing to look cute and pathetic for your visit. ;o)  SignatureMarina, Frank and Nikki Email marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/frankiennikki WOO HOO! Christine > Hey all, > [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] > > Pam S. really nervous and excited. Hi, Pam! The Okanagan is just a little ways north of Osoyoos, but if you cross the border, I'll definitely drive down and meet up with you, wherever you end up being. We should swap contact info so you can reach me when you're in the area, maybe, since you don't know for certain how you will spend Jun 26-28? After all that travelling, you might want to relax in Osoyoos for a couple of days. And then Britta will be coming through this way, just a few days later (or at least, in Vancouver). Wow! KLC, wondering which cat wants to go for a drive.... <snipped> > Our itinerary looks like this: > [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > > Pam S. really nervous and excited. > Hi, Pam! > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > KLC, wondering which cat wants to go for a drive.... D'oh! That sucks about the timing. But my parents would kill me if we left Victora that early. Would have been so cool to all meet up at the same time! -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr. I have an alarm clock that's covered in fur!

Rob wants to go into Canada so that we can all claim to have been out of the USA. We're talking about going north from Oroville, into British Columbia, camping a night there, then coming down into the USA along the Columbia River. Any suggestions about where we can camp in your direction? Any ideas on where we can meet? I wish we could hook up with Britta but I don't think it will be possible. Pam S. email me, please > Well, it looks like the trip is a go for all four of us, Rob, Mandy, > Mike, and me.

You will have a terrific time and see some amazing sites.

If I knew exactly when and where, I could meet you at Denver. Email me when you know. Then I can give you my cell number and put in for a day off. I am so excited, too.

You should be starving for kitty purrs by then. I've been trying to get Rob to plan out our route in advance so that I can give advance warning. So far, it's a no go. I'll keep bugging him to get the route and timing back taken care of, so that we have a more accurate time-table for those whom we're meeting. Pam S. I've found that a cell phone is indispensable when meeting someone halfway across the country. When my cousin and I decided to meet in New Mexico for an Indian pow-wow last year, she started from Arkansas, Patty and I started from California, and we wound up at the same place within ten minutes of one another. >> If I knew exactly when and where, I could meet you at Denver.

Part of the reason we finally broke down and got one. Some day I'll hear that thing ring. We not only want to have one for emergencies, but want to be able to keep in touch with all the various persons we're getting together with. Pam S. who'd get a kick out of a Yehudah meeting >Part of the reason we finally broke down and got one. Some day I'll >hear that thing ring.

DH nagged and nagged and nagged. I swear, he would be happier if I got a little Onstar chip implanted and he could just go to some website and track me down. If I didn't answer the phone at home, he used to leave work and come home looking for me. Enter the cell phone. Now I can't remember to charge the stupid thing. But he's learned to let it ring 15 times while I'm at the other end digging in my purse looking for it. Sherry .. DH nagged and nagged and nagged.

When he is traveling, he can call me without having to track down and wait in line for a pay phone. He will call me between flights and from amazing places all over the country. I got a purse with a pocket on the side, so I wouldn't have to dig for the phone. Having a cell phone plan has saved us a lot of money on long distance calls. I have a little different reason for liking the cell phones. When we are shopping, he always wanders off. When I'm ready to leave, I just ring him up and politely request his presence at the cash register. Annie > .. DH nagged and nagged and nagged.

When I'm in Bangkok shopping with my girlfriends, we tend to lose each other, so it's great to be able to call each other up and decide when to meet for lunch. I'd have to say that the cellphone was the most important purchase we made after the car. I'd be lost without it. Maybe it's an Asian thing, but *everyone* here has a cellphone and talks on it constantly. Nobody ever calls on my home phone. Not that they'd get through anyway, because when I'm at home, I'm on the internet. When I'm not on the internet, I'm not at home. -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr.

Off the top of my head I cannot think of anyone I know who doesn't have one. Just checked from the website of Statistics Finland the amount of cellphones per 100 Finns, which is 72,8. So it's probably just the babies that cannot talk that don't have one... :) We don't even have a hard line phone at home, just our cellphones (Janne's and mine). The DSL-connection doesn't have a phone number, it's just the broadband. When I go shopping for groceries after work, I often call Janne at home to check what's needed. And when shopping for b-day or x-mas gifts, it's handy to be able to call and check the shoe size or clothes size of nieces, nephews and such, just as you've found some item for them.

That's so the opposite of me. I always have to have the latest gadgets and gizmos. I love technology :-) I guess I got that from my dad who used to be an aeronautical engineer and then a computer programmer. -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr.

But the most annoying thing is when we arrive home, and I"m fumbling with the key trying to unlock the door, he hits the speed dial button behind me for the home #. So I hear the phone, throw everything down and run in the door to answer it, and it's him, standing on the porch laughing his a** off. Sherry I get the feeling that before the day is over, Patty is going to put you on her s*** list. :-) You shouldn't give people like me ideas. Cheers and many thanks, Dave > Now, that we do.
