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

Wish I could have been there. The topo is great and it looks like there is a lot of exploration to be had in the upper Yaquina Estuary. One of these days I'll have to get to a messabout. Quick

-John, The 21st is still open, & sounds good to me, if we can get some more to join us. The Elk City Park is small, but real nice. It has a few camp sites, bathrooms, and a boat ramp & dock, also a

Alas, July 21st won't work for my tin skiff owning, antique outboard nut friend, he's got to help somebody do a concrete slab that weekend. Besides, I've come down with the plague of some sort and may

Bryn- A bunch of Bolger boat buffs will be meeting at PT on Saturday morning, probably at 10:00 at the CLC booth. We'll probably repair to a nearby eatery for coffee and pastry and boat talk. I'm

If you're looking for something nautical to do this weekend the Bald Eagle Festival in Cathlamet, Washington is the 21st & 22nd and there's a wooden boat get-together connected with it that's said to

Thanks for the story on Sawyer's Landing trip. Wish I could have been there, but I just went to the Dr a couple of days before, and he kind of scarred me. I didn't know this neck thing was going to be

Pat: A hair-raising fishing story. Good you didn't get hung up on waves breaking over those nasty reefs looming both north and south of the jetty. And please be patient and let your neck heal.

The Florence Chowder Festival is Saturday, September 22. My friend Bill (with the captain's gig) would like to have a messabout at Florence, perhaps in conjunction with an antique outboard nut

John Hope you got over your bug, did you have the flu or something? Looks like I won't get to the Brooks Steamup yet this year. I've been asked to work Sat., since I've been off so much this summer

Dick- Sorry to hear that you're going to miss the steamup, you would have loved it. Maybe next year. I'm going early Saturday, probably get to Brooks (the show is really closer to Hopmere) a bit

The local Antique Outboard Motor Club branch is going to hold a meet at Cottage Grove Reservoir on Sunday, August 5. Should be lots of neat motors there, and either my Crestliner with its "antique"

We're definitely going to Elk City Saturday, August 4. We'll leave the Toledo launch ramp at 10:30 - 11:00. To get to the Toledo ramp go down to the waterfront in Toledo and turn left, then go past

Of course the AOMC get-together is on August 5th, not 6th (which isn't even a Sunday). -- John <jkohnen@...> http://www.boat-links.com/

-John, I'll be at Elk City as,long as I get my outboard motor out of the shop. I took it in Tues. They said 7 to 10 days, & 10 days would be the Fri. before the trip. I'm going to give them a call

John, sorry if I missed you at the show. I got there about 10 and stayed till 2, but no you. Great Show. Anybody that is interestd in old Engines, steam or gas, and or old tractors and equipent, and

Pat- Your '52 Johnson is definitely an antique, and if you're older than that, well, you figure it out. Even my '62 Merc 250 is old enough for the AOMC nuts to drool over, but maybe that's because it

Dick- Great! Hope the shop gets the motor done in time. What's wrong with it? If you can take a passenger or two to Elk City let us know, so non-motorboating messabouters can have a chance to go
