Welcome to August. Our camping season progresses with a several campouts ahead of us. In a few weeks we will be watching the BSU Broncos play football.

The recent outing to Silverton, Oregon with the Capitol Gypsies was very successful. Thirty-six campers participated in this fun activity. We explored Silver Falls State Park, a Frank Lloyd Wright designed home, and many ventured to McMinnville to see the Spruce Goose airplane museum.

As I write this newsletter, the Sourdough Chapter is finishing up their trip. The Sourdoughs traveled to Montana for a week long adventure.

Our next trip is a longer journey to Northern Idaho to visit Farragut State Park. Farragut was once home to the US Navy basic training grounds during World War II. Hundreds of thousands of new sailors learned their skills at Farragut. Today it is a beautiful park that has been designed for campers. A few of the old military facilities remain, most notably is "The Brig". Eleven rigs are signed up. I am sure we will all enjoy a relaxing and fun filled week near Coeur d' Alene.

Our next meeting will be on Thursday, August 27th at the Golden Corral.

I look forward to seeing you at the next Time To Travel activity.
