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 Camper Sue ------------- Camper Bob and Camper Sue Gracie the Wonder Dog (12 LB. Mini Dachshund) 2013 Rpod 171HRE(ORPod) 2016 Lance 1685 2015 Nissan Pathfinder |

Although it is rather early, I thought I would give an update on the 2015 Roundup. To date, of the 50 sites I have reserved, a total of 23 sites have now been spoken for. There are only 27 sites left, so if you are interested in coming, I wouldn't wait too long. We again have campers coming from the east and west coasts. See you in August.

We are planning an east coast adventure next year. Nova Scotia. However, I would really encourage anyone who could possibly make the trip to the Oregon coast do so! I think Bob is under selling the place. It is truly magical! Here's just a handful of pics from our visit to the Oregon coast last summer. fred       ------------- 2014 RPod 178 => https://goo.gl/CV446f - MyMods and Buying Habits 2008 4Runner Limited 4.0-liter V6 Yes, those are wild ponies dining on grass while dumping tanks! |

Thanks Fred. What can I say. The pics speak for themselves. The Oregon coast is truly a magical place. If you have never been, Cannon Beach is a terrific jumping off point to see a spectacular section of the coast. Cannon Beach is a great little tourist town with great ice cream, among other things. About 10 miles north is the town of Astoria, which was an old sailing port leading to the Far East. Ft. Clatsup is there where Louis and Clarke camped. All a magical place. Across the bridge is Washington State with all it has to offer. If you do make a reservation, please don't forget to send me an email so that I will register you for the dinner. Hope to see you in August. Only 25 spaces left. Safe Travels. ------------- Camper Bob and Camper Sue Gracie the Wonder Dog (12 LB.

Just checked with the campground, and out of 50 reserved full hookup spots there are only 13 left. For those who might be interested in seeing the Oregon coast at its best, better make those reservations now. As they say, "When they're gone, the're gone." See you in August.

Sorry you weren't able to get a spot in Cannon Beach. You might try Circle Creek RV in Seaside Oregon. Just up the road from Cannon Beach. Nice campground, which we stayed at two years ago. If you do get a spot, let me know and you can join us for dinner on Friday and Sat. nights. Safe Travels. ------------- Camper Bob and Camper Sue Gracie the Wonder Dog (12 LB.

It's Official. We are sold out for the 2015 Pacific Northwest Cannon Beach Roundup. We have 51 RV's attending, with 32 Pods, representing 9 states and one Canadian Province. I think I proved my point that we can and do have many on the west coast who are committed Forest River product owners who enjoy each others company. I am delighted that others here on the west coast are starting to plan their own roundups. We are looking forward to meeting and greeting old friends and making new ones. For those of you who are attending this years event, I wish you Safe Travels through out the year and see you in August. ------------- Camper Bob and Camper Sue Gracie the Wonder Dog (12 LB.

I really wasn't concerned about filling all the spaces. We even have an Rpod camping up the road in Seaside at the Circle Creek RV where we were two years ago. Anyone wishing to join us can still reserve a space at Circle Creek. It is only about 5 miles from Cannon Beach. They can still join in the fun. We did have turn away RV's for the last three Roundups here in Oregon. Looking forward to seeing you and all the past returnees and meeting new friends. We have 32 Rpods and other Forest River products, representing 9 states and one Canadian Province. See you in August and Safe Travels. ------------- Camper Bob and Camper Sue Gracie the Wonder Dog (12 LB. Mini Dachshund) 2013 Rpod 171HRE(ORPod) 2016 Lance 1685 2015 Nissan Pathfinder |

I have had a number of new Podders contact me regarding the Roundup here in Oregon in August. Cannon Beach RV Park is sold out for those dates. However, Circle Creek RV park in Seaside just 6 miles north is still accepting reservations for that date. For those who still want to attend the Pacific NW Roundup, make your reservations at Circle Creek and notify me that you want to attend our Roundup. We had a Roundup two years ago at that campground and really enjoyed the venue. I would have reserved again this year at Circle Creek but they couldn't set aside 50 spaces. Again, after you make reservations at Circle Creek send me an email so we can include you for the Forest River sponsored dinner on Friday nite and the raffle on Saturday night. ------------- Camper Bob and Camper Sue Gracie the Wonder Dog (12 LB.

Currently we have 55 RV's registered for this years Roundup with 111 attendees. Although the Cannon Beach RV park is sold out they are still taking reservations at the Circle Creek RV park, which is only 6 miles north. If anyone still would like to join the festivities, contact Circle Creek at 503-738-6070 and make your reservation. We have 35 Rpods coming in addition to all other types. I believe this is the largest gathering of Rpods in one location other than the annual Roundup in Goshen. Please contact me if you make reservations to join us. See you in August. Safe Travels.

Hello Camper Bob We are new to the site and live in Vancouver WA. Our plan is to purchase a RP 179 after we sell our Scamp (which we took to Key West and back last year, 3 Months) Our question: Would you and other Podders mind if we stopped by to say hello and talk to folks about their Pods? Right now we are planning a day trip so it would be on Saturday when we would stop by. Thank you

I have no problems with it and I am sure no one else does either. I think it is a great idea to talk to owners, see their Pods to get the info to make the right purchase! See you there. PJ ------------- PJ & Jamie 2016 R-Pod 179 2012 Jeep Wrangler Sahara 2004 Chevy Silverado |

We currently have 60 registered RV's attending with 126 campers. We are hosting 39 Rpods with the rest being other Forest River products. Camping World has again provided some great raffle items as well as Forest River. If anyone is still interested in attending, I have been informed that Cannon Beach has some dry camping spots available. If you make a reservation to attend, please email me so that I can add you to the BBQ dinner that Forest River is providing on Friday. Hope we have terrific weather on the beach. See you soon.

Hello everyone Thank you for allowing us to stop by. First, I got the date mixed up with something else which we have to attend so we will not be stopping by after all. Second we traveled down to friends in Redding Ca and brought back our new 179  . We have spent two nights in it and really like it, now we have to come up with a name. Anyway we hope everyone has a great time and we will keep a eye out for the next event.

If this is a bit redundant, I apologize. We are newly Rpodders/RVers on our second outing at the Cannon Beach Roundup. Being last minute additions I'd like to ask if anyone can provide a schedule of events for this weekend? We received an email but I must have deleted it. I know there's a pot luck and a sponsored dinner (yes I remember the food activities!), I just can't recall what is when and where. ------------- blackbird's flyin the coop |

Has no one posted pics of the recent gathering? I had to drop out due to vacation conflicts and hoped we would see some pictures. I also wonder how much it actually rained that weekend. ------------- Scott & Kim The Mountains are calling and a Podding we must go! |

I guess no one took pictures and posted them. We all had a grand time even though we were battered by wind and off and on again rain. We had to initiate Plan B and had dinner on Friday night at the Seaside Community Center. Since no fires were allowed because of the "burn ban" we had our Saturday night potluck at the campground center and had a great time. The winds were the worst in decades but we all survived. I did walk the campground on Sunday before leaving and someone had put up an easyup and didn't heed the wind warnings. The following morning the canopy was gone and the metal skeleton was wrapped around a tree like a horseshoe. Don't mess with mother nature.

Unfortunately, I as the Grand Poobah of the PNW roundups, have decided to let someone else have the fun of planning another PNW roundup. At the last Roundup I asked if anyone else was interested, and initially I thought we had another to pick up the baton. I guess that person has decided not to take up the challenge. If anyone else is interested, I would be more than happy to help. Safe Travels. ------------- Camper Bob and Camper Sue Gracie the Wonder Dog (12 LB.
