Dear those who will be in Oregon in August 2016,  (all others can ignore 
this and later messages with Subject of Travel and shared rides.)   
Refers to Stove Summit, Stove Camp, Char Production Gathering, and USBI 
conference.

Bruce (message below) raises the question about ride sharing.  This is a 
way for people to assist each other, so we need good communications:

1.  TWO main categories:   Initial arrival        and      At 
events/between events

2.  The easy one is "At and between events".   My experience is that 
there are usually multiple cars with drivers willing to help others.   
You meet these people at the events and connections happen easily.  For 
the major shift (which is after the 3 events at Cottage Grove) to go to 
Corvallis for the USBI conference, there should be plenty of cars 
leaving sometime after 4 PM Saturday and with arrival by Monday morning 
for USBI pre-conference events.  Exactly when each vehicle is moving is 
not known.   But people with cars (and possibly a spare seat or two) 
include:
Paul Anderson
James Schoner
Paul Taylor
Tom Miles
Hugh McLaughlin
Kelpie Wilson
Norm Baker
Probably 3 or more others.    (please add your names if you could help 
with transport)
Who rides with whom and when will be worked out/finalized on Saturday.
NOTE:   What people do on Sunday 21 August is wide open.   I suspect 
that people will match up according to their interests.

3.  The "Initial Arrival" issue is more complicated because of so many 
different dates, times, places of arrival into Oregon.   Eugene Oregon 
airport is maybe 20 minutes from Cottage Grove.  If you are registering 
for one or more of the 3 events in Cottage Grove, contact the organizers 
of each event, with information about times of arrival.

     Arrival at Portland airport is a bit further away.  But ride 
sharing should be possible.

BEST if those who NEED transportation assistance tell us all when you 
are arriving where.

4.  JUST IN CASE it might help some, note that some of us are driving 
long distances (starting outside of Oregon) and perhaps shared driving 
time and fuel costs might match someone's interests.
A.   Paul Anderson is driving from central Illinois on 7 or 8 August 
with arrival in Cottage Grove on Wed. 10 August.
B.   James Schoner is driving from central Arizona
C.   Norm Baker is coming from Seattle, but might have a full vehicle 
already.
D.   Several others (unknown)
