Has anyone got any top tips for showering/toilets at these events? We normally bring wag bags and a porta potty for the Mrs. I was thinking of picking up a cheap privacy/toilet shelter when there. I tried to get one beforehand but couldn't find anything decent enough.

Yeah I would like to see them work too. Before I pick one up. I do pretty good with my 30 year old Colman white gas stove.

I mainly think I would like one to save space and make cleanup easier. You could leave the pots and pans out and just looks like you can wipe it clean. Hopefully they have some deals on.

Historically, plenty of Honey Buckets are provided.
For showers, I've done the Baby Wipe bath but may use my shower system. I've never set up the privy/shower tent, so I'm not sure just how comical someone my size is going to be in it.

Hey there, catching up on the thread here before departure tomorrow. I originally pre registered for a family campsite early on but with the snow days this year school stretched now the wife and daughter can’t come. So attending solo this year and on the list for the OB campsite. What night is the potluck going on? Definitely interested in meeting more OB members. I will be in the grey 5th Gen T4R with the roofnest. I will fly my red OB flag that I got at the off grid rally last year. Definitely say hi.

Sorry my bad, it was a two person or family ticket not a family campsite. Still excited!
Member I
I’ll be there with my 2 boys. But trust me it will feel like I brought at least 4. We are leaving as soon as we can after the last half day of school tomorrow.
I’m glad we aren’t in the quiet section, they don’t know what that means :)

Everyone be safe heading up! We have a group headed up from Salem- FRS 6, CB ch 20, and 146.460 for amateur radio. Vancouver/PDX meeting location around 9:00ish at Gee Creek rest stop. Final stop- Longview Wilco Farm Store with departure not long after at 9:30ish (I didn’t plan!! LOL) Feel free to join us along the way or give a yell if you need help! See everyone there! -KZ

Give a yell on 146.460 when you get close. I'm up on Chumstick Mt and should be back in town around 1:30
Enthusiast III
Brady and Alex will be there around 11:30.

I'm here in the staging area that they're doing this year.

I will be camping with the group. I guess I'm in the mood for the not so quiet section after all.
Enthusiast III
Hey Jedi, I am still coming but not till tomorrow as I had last minute repairs to the van. Looking forward to camping as a group.
Enthusiast III
It has been so great to put so many names with faces this weekend! I don’t want tonight to end because I don’t want to pack up and go home in the morning! Thank you to everyone who came by and said hi!
Enthusiast III
We would like to apologize if our camp kept anyone awake, however we won’t apologize for enjoying each other’s company so much that we didn’t want our time together to end. Thank you to everyone who came by, shook our hands, hugged our necks and who promised to make plans to see each other again before the next rally- what an event! Please come find us on Facebook- Willamette Valley Overland Bound and get out there with us!
