2017 PNW GGG v 3.0

I’m glad I copied and pasted my edit since the software completely deleted my comment.

Official Announcement updated 3/21/17.

The 2017 PNW/GGG will be at Millersylvania State Park site G1 starting August 13th and checking out August 15th.  I reserved the site for 20 of us in tents but there is an option to add campers if necessary.  There’s a kitchen area and 13 amp electrical on site with a bathroom nearby.

From what was explained to me, this is a walk-in site.  There’s some confusion as to how many vehicles are allowed, their website showing only one.  I called the park itself and they assured me that multiple vehicles were fine.  If you’d like to join, please either respond here or email me at ianbloom87 at gmail dot com with both your party size and number of vehicles.  From what was explained to me, they will give me all of the vehicle permits and I’ll hand them out at the campsite.

Total cost is just under $150.  If you’d like to kick in to the cause, you can send a donation to the aforementioned email through PayPal.  Like the first time on the Oly peninsula, any surplus will go to firewood.  If you can’t afford to kick in, please come anyways.

I’d like to coordinate a group multi day hike either just before or after this event but I’m seeing the doc tomorrow and am unsure of what my hiking prospects are going to be like this summer, so I’ll let someone else take the lead on that.  For me personally, I’m not free to hike on the 9th or 19th.

I suspect Jerry’s right.  I’ve spent some time on the reservation website and every day in July and August is either red (unavailable) or yellow (doesn’t match criteria).  I called their 1-888 reservation number and they couldn’t explain why there were multiple days in a row that the group site shows up as yellow and is not available for reservation even though we’re inside the nine month window.

They suggested I call the campground directly which resulted in me leaving a voice message requesting assistance.

I don’t think Millersylvania is going to work out for those two months.

I’ll keep looking.

That’s great to hear Doug, Ken, Jerry, and Michael.

I looked on the Federal reservation website and nothing jumped out at me as being a good option between Seattle and Portland.

The few that are left in Washington are filling up quick.  I’m going to tentatively shoot for making a reservation for wherever on the week of 3/27.  In the meantime, I’ll post the options as I find them.
