Sawyer's Landing is a nice place! Aside from the friendly folks and nice camping spots Jack, Scott Marble and I discovered something else wonderful about the place, but we better not tell anybody

I've had no explanation so far why my friends with the tin skiff didn't show up to haul me to Elk City Sunday, but the boat's owner had to get his antique outboard in shape, put a timing belt in his

Dick- I think I'll probably go up to the steamup at Brooks, wander around for an hour or so, then continue on to the boat festival in Portland. Too many events for one day! --

Hope you folks had a good time. I went to the Dr on Wednesday, and he sugested against doing any boating for a while. Too much chance of moving my head in the wrong direction. It's been a long ordeal

We would like to remind you of this upcoming event. Brooks Antique Tractor Show, Brooks, Or. Date: Saturday, July 28, 2001 Time: 10:00AM PDT (GMT-07:00) I'll be there with my Dad's Antique 1948

John-Sorry you can't make it to the messabout. Is "Wee Lass" your Footloose? John, Alas, I wish it were but, "Wee Lass" is my Triad. The present status of the "Footloose" is, I have all the

John- Sorry you can't make it to the messabout. Is "Wee Lass" your Footloose? If so, you've been busy! <g> If you've got any photos of her please scan them and put them into the files section of the

I have really been loking forward to our get-together at Sawyer's Landing on the 14th., especially, since it would be the first salt water launching for "Wee Lass", but I am afraid some family

Bryn- You've got a one track mind-- full of oars! <g> The captain's gig in question is an ex-US Navy motorboat: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MessaboutW/files/Gig.jpg I believe recreational bay

When you figure out the captain's gig issue on the Yaquina and plan a trip, will you need any rowers? I don't know the size of your (John) friend's gig, but if you need more rowers, let me know. I

Pat- The messabout is a one-day affair with the option of messing about Sunday if anybody wants to. In this case, the second day could be the Elk City trip. It's about ten miles from the Toledo ramp

Is the Messabout a one day afair? Do you plan to spend the night at Sawyer's and go up to Elk City on Sunday. We are still planning to come, and Elk city trip sounds like fun. More incentive to bring

Dick- Glad you had a good trip. I've never been to Elk City, either by road or water. I tried the road from Highway 20 on my motorcycle once, but it was just too bad to be any fun on a street bike!

John, We had a nice day at the coast on the 4th. We took the Elk City tour. We drove from Hy.20 to Elk City to Toledo. Stopped at the Elk City Park, what a nice place. Looks like a good place for a

Well, it looks like the messabout will be at Sawyer's Landing July 14th. Somebody who knows how to get ahold of him (Jack?) should tell Scott Malvitch. I've put a couple of scans of the flyer from

Pat knows the answer, but I'll say that I don't think it's at Oak's Park this Year. Actually, I believe it's at the new waterfront park (where ever that is)on the east side of the river in downtown.

I just got a message from Tom Carter of Rivers West about the festival up in Portland. Unfortunately it conflicts with the Steam Up in Brooks. :o( Boats or ancient machinery, it's a tough choice. I'm

Dick- I suppose we could do the messabout on the 21st, but I've mentioned to some people who probably don't monitor this list that it would _probably_ be on the 14th. :o( I suppose we ought to stick

Hello all. I've been reading all your messages. I don't type very well so I just read. I let my wife do the typing, she's faster. There is a ramp just up from Criteser's, toward Toledo. It has the

Sawyer's Landing, July 14 sounds good to me. John.
