Activities

There are lots of interesting day rides originating from The Gather campground. Many of the attendees are 'locals', and would likely be happy to tell you about, or lead you on, some interesting rides. Hurricane Ridge, Sol Duc hot springs, Hoh Rainforest, Lake Crescent, and highways 112 & 113 are all right at hand for the day riders. A ferry ride to the gorgeous city of Victoria, BC would be a fun excursion, provided you have your passport.

Among the 'local ride' cogniscenti I would count:

If you're a TWILIGHT vampire film fan, you can certainly take a quick trip out to Forks, WA where some of the scenes from the movie series (supposedly) take place. [Note: Wikipedia says that the film was shot primarily in Oregon, not in Forks]

Ed has arranged with Sunnydell, a local shotgun & pistol range, for us to shoot some Sporting Clays and some pistol targets on Friday afternoon. For those that are interested, of course. Some of us will bring extra shotguns & pistols, and extra ammo, should someone want to join in who doesn't have their own equipment. Eye and hearing protection are required — we'll bring some extra ear-plugs.

This activity is not cheap [prices have gone WAY up since the last Gather here], so bring cash to help pay the range fee(s) and for ammunition if you're going to borrow a gun. There will undoubtedly be more info posted about this activity on the WetLeather mailing list.
