Whats this West Coast Roadtrip Thing without a visit to the Pacific Ocean beaches!  I am a mile from the beaches and a quarter mile from Highway 101 in Oregon.   We slept 7 or was it 9? in this 2 bedroom house last June when Jessica's picture of us was snapped at Astoria Pride.  We have over 15 acres of camping space and a mile of trails to wander.... over the river and thru the woods to the Unicorn Forest they go...the whore knows the way to play in the hay and .......

The Pacific Northwest has a growing reputation as being LGBTQ friendly and it is, for the most part, deserved.  Come on out and walk the beaches.  Feel welcome and safe.

Let's all keep in mind Tessa's welcoming offer.

Ava and I have booked a room in Mariposa for the 20th through the 22th of September. We have to head back down south on Sunday the 22th. We have until the 18th to cancel if things don't workout. We are both looking forward to meeting everyone and hope we can all meet up there and have some fun. However, as I mentioned earlier, nothing is set in stone. If there is a chance to make the complete trip north, (coming up earlier), we are certainly open to it.

Hugs, Donica and Ava!

The Miners Inn or the Monarch?

In one week reservations open for a possible camp spot in the Valley on 9/20-9/22 for my trailer.

That's awesome Jessica, but please don't book anything that's not cancellable. I can't possibly commit to being there on a specific date yet!

Stephanie, do you think that me having reservations to camp in Yosemite is something I would want to cancel?  (They are cancellable btw)  If you wouldn't be able to make it, that would be sad as I toast marshmallows there.....  it's not too far from where I live, and I love it.

Oh, in that case, by all means! I just didn't want you to make them with me in mind and then have me mess everything up. I couldn't take the pressure!

Fingers crossed that we'll be there with you!!

"S'Mores, please!")

I must sadly report that even though I clicked the reserve button immediately upon release, I was unable to secure a site in Yosemite Valley.  It certainly says a lot about the draw to such a beautiful place.
On the chance that anyone would be up to hike and camp into Little Yosemite (above Nevada Falls), I've got gear for 4.

Frowny face Jess 🙇‍♀️

@Jessica
Dear Jess:
I am following this thread closely to see how it shakes out and eventually see a firm date for a West Coast get-together that I can pencil in on my calendar....  please keep the conversation going.

Hugs,
Danielle

Stephie has a sad. [emoji53]

Sorry to hear that Jess! It would have been nice if we could all stay in one place, especially in the Yosemite valley. Not to worry though, there are still lots of hotels in Mariposa and surrounding areas. Not sure how long they will last.
