Next year’s
Roundup has just been announced on the Forest River Owners Group
bulletin. I was keeping it to myself until all the arrangements had been
finalized. And now they have. I have reserved
50 full hookups at Cannon Beach RV Resort in Cannon Beach, Oregon. The
dates are Thursday August 27 to Sunday, August 30th 2015.
For those who
have never been, the Oregon coast is truly a wonderful place to visit during
the summer. Fishing, hiking, biking, kayaking, and dining, all outdoors,
with wonderful weather. The town of Cannon Beach is 3 blocks from our
campground and filled with interesting shops, restaurants, and all kinds of
handmade items, made by local artists. For those of you who have attended
our last Roundups we are just about 5 miles south of Circle Creek Campground in
Seaside, Oregon. Lots to see and
do as many of you who attended our roundup in 2013 can attest to. About
10 miles up the coast is Astoria, Oregon, an old shipping port from the 1800’s.
Interesting old town to look at or take the local trolley and see it that
way. Lots of interesting old architecture. Many of the older homes
were built by sea captains with widow walks so that their wives could look out
to sea and know if their husbands ship was finally arriving. Some of the
voyages took years to complete. Sue and I
stumbled on an interesting fish and chips restaurant, in Astoria, which
is in a boat on the beach just across from the maritime museum. Called
the Bowpicker. Always a line outside. Get there early about 11 or
so. They actually catch the fish themselves in the morning and then
prepare it for lunch. They close when they run out of that mornings
catch. Can’t get much fresher than that. Excellent reviews on
Yelp. GREAT fish and chips. Many other fine
restaurants either in Cannon Beach, Seaside or Astoria. Just across from
Astoria, is a huge bridge which takes you into Washington State. Lots to
explore. Or, as most of us did this year, sat in the campground, checked
out each other’s rigs and enjoyed making new friends. I was surprised
to learn that this year included about 80% who had attended the year
before. Thanks for coming and making it a fun event. I have
contracted the BBQ restaurant, Buster’s from Portland who will once again bring
their 18’ smoker and serve us a fabulous dinner at the campground.
Looking forward to seeing you all again, and making some new friends. To make a
reservation, please contact Cannon Beach RV Resort at 800-847-2231, or view
their website at www.cbrvresort.com. Ask for
Michelle, the manager, who is handling all of our reservations. Please
send me an email after you have made reservations, so I can add you to the
dinner list, that Forest River will again graciously provide. I know it is
early, but the last two roundups sold out very quickly. If you have any
questions, please feel free to contact me at bcowan@hevanet.com
or call me at 503-699-9213. Until next
year. Safe Travels. Camper Bob and
