Hello! We would like to announce the Pre-NANOG 26 Oregon Rafting Adventure. When: October 26th, the day before NANOG 26 starts. Where: The Upper Mckenzie River, www.hcexpeditions.com What about a Hotel: Many of us are staying the nights before and after at Holiday Farm Resort (Preferred due to the large number of rooms and availability) 800-823-3715 http://www.holidayfarmresort.com/, then caravanning to Eugene on Sunday morning. There are additional places to stay in the immediate area - we'll send you full information when you RSVP. Please plan on making your room reservations as early as possible as many of these are filling up due to various golfing promotions. How Far: About 50 miles from Eugene Where should I fly into: PDX Airport - Portland. This should be less expensive than trying to fly into Eugene. Who is running this?: This trip is being coordinated by Mitchell Rose and Daniel Golding. Ren Nowlin ordinarily runs these things, but she's in China, so we have been left in charge. Fear it. :) Who can come: Anyone who wants to. This trip is not being sponsored by vendors or employers. The trip: we will pass most of the possible hotel accommodations on our raft trip. All of the places are within a 10 mile radius of where we will meet (begin and end) on Sat. for rafting (Belknap Resort). The stretch of river will range from a slow float to class 2-3. We will go through protected forest and secluded areas, past large log jams (this is Oregon, lots of timber). We will have a nice BBQ on the river for lunch and end with a grand raft surfing finale! We will then head to Belknap to soak in an outdoor 104 degree hot spring next to the river. This should be a VERY memorable trip. What to bring: a change of cloths for after the trip (you might get wet ;)), and preferably non-cotton cloths for wearing under the splash gear on the trip. All other clothing and gear will be provided. Check the web site for more details. What's included: All day rafting, lunch, and use of the Hot Spring at the Belknap Resort. How Much: $75 for the raft trip, but there may be discounts if we can get enough folks. How do I sign up?: Three simple steps - Send email to Mitchell Rose ([email protected]) or Dan Golding ([email protected]). We'll get back to you with more detailed information on the trip and area hotels, and answer any questions you might have. At the same time, you should register for the raft trip at http://www.highcountryexpeditions.com/ under Cost/Booking. Please include "NANOG" as the group name, your Shoe size (M/W), Splash top size (Sm, Med, Large, XL, XL2), and any special needs - vegan, vegetarian, food allergies, etc. The cutoff date for this adventure is 9/30/02. After that, it's purely "space available". Finally, book the hotel room of your choice - we'll send you a full list, but Holiday Farm Resort is recommended. Transportation: None, but we can all carpool there and back. Please let us know if you need or want a ride, or can provide one. Is fun guaranteed?: Yes. Thanks, Daniel Golding and Mitchell Rose
