January 17-19
Cascade Kombi's and Wetwesties Campout
 Deception Pass State Park
41229 State Route 20 Oak Harbor, 98277-7924

Stuart Zickefoose of the Cascade Kombi's has suggested the Kombi's start
camping again so we are holding this joint campout. The Kombi's started in
1986 or 87 and hold meetings, but little camping recently. We welcome all!

I assume Stuart will spread the word at
http://www.cascadekombis.org/calendar. I'll post on wetwesties.org and
facebook/wetwesties

The good thing is that the sites are *power sites so bring an electric
heater* to hold off the chill.

We usually park at *sites 320 thru 335 in the Quarry Pond Loop* which is on
the other side (left turn) across from the main entrance and main park

Also for the Saturday evening pot luck I find that a *crock pot meal* is
easy and you can keep your meal warm until the meal starts at 4 or 4:30
before it gets dark. Soups, stews, meatballs & pasta, beans & frank - be
creative and it will be a big hit.

See the article is the Seattle Times at
http://seattletimes.com/html/outdoors/2019397268_o...<http://seattletimes.com/html/outdoors/2019397268_oddeception14.html>

We came out here  at the same time last year and had sun and no rain. The
supply of firewood by everyone allowed for a roaring campfire which we all
took advantage of..Everyone needs to bring firewood to share.
 Held in the north Puget Sound area known as the “rain shadow” where the
rain is blocked by the Olympic Mountains, there is just an average of just
1.72 inches of rain in February vs 4.38 inches in Seattle and 6.74 inches
in Olympia. (13.7” at Nehalem Bay SP)

Deception Pass State Park is a 4,134-acre marine and camping park with
77,000 feet of saltwater shoreline, and 33,900 feet of freshwater shoreline
on three lakes. Rugged cliffs drop to meet the turbulent waters of
Deception Pass. The park is outstanding for breath-taking views, old-growth
forests and abundant wildlife.

We  Reservations are available for both power and standard sites – suggest
sites nearest the restrooms. There should be sufficient space for those
that do not register, but check the reservations site to be sure.
https://secure.camis.com/WA/DeceptionPassStatePark...<https://secure.camis.com/WA/DeceptionPassStatePark->Last
year we had our choice of sites - so I'm not making reservations.
Suggest that new campers buy a $12 electric squirrel-cage heater. or Little
Buddy.
