<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div>Greetings Paul and others, <br><br></div>I have narrowed down my travel plans so decided to share in case it works out to drive with someone or provide a ride.

I am considering a trip to Crater Lake (2.5 hours from Cottage Grove, 5 hours to Corvalis from Crater Lake) if I end up renting a car but this is not set in stone. If there was interest it is a possibility. <br><br></div>Will be returning to Portland on the 18th. <br><br></div>If anyone wants to contact me for possible ride sharing call/text or email.<br><br></div><div>Thanks Paul for sending out this email. <br></div><div><br></div>Bruce Stahlberg<br>612.558.5959<br><div><div><div><br><br><div><div><div><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">

Bruce (message below) raises the question about ride sharing. This
is a way for people to assist each other, so we need good
communications:<br>
<br>
1. TWO main categories: Initial arrival and At
events/between events<br>
<br>
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:<br>
Paul Anderson<br>
James Schoner<br>
Paul Taylor<br>
Tom Miles<br>
Hugh McLaughlin<br>
Kelpie Wilson <br>
Norm Baker<br>
Probably 3 or more others. (please add your names if you could
help with transport)<br>
Who rides with whom and when will be worked out/finalized on
Saturday. <br>
NOTE: What people do on Sunday 21 August is wide open. I suspect
that people will match up according to their interests.<br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
Arrival at Portland airport is a bit further away. But ride
sharing should be possible. <br>
<br>
BEST if those who NEED transportation assistance tell us all when
you are arriving where. <br>
<br>
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. <br>
A. Paul Anderson is driving from central Illinois on 7 or 8 August
with arrival in Cottage Grove on Wed. 10 August.<br>
B. James Schoner is driving from central Arizona <br>
C. Norm Baker is coming from Seattle, but might have a full
vehicle already.<br>
D. Several others (unknown)<br>

<div>It would be helpful for possible ride
sharing between events if there could be coordination between
attendees. I could either be looking for a ride or possibly rent
and therefore be able to offer a ride. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any ideas on how to put attendees in

Thanks for that info about Stove Camp 2016. That info will
be made available also at my website where there is info and
links to ALL FOUR stove and biochar event between 11 and 25
August (first three in Cottage Grove Oregon, and then US
Biochar Initiative conference in Corvallis, Oregon. <br>
1. Stove Summit<br>
2. Stove Camp<br>
3. Char Production Gathering (CPG)<br>
4. USBI<br>
<br>
I will be at all 4 events and look forward to seeing many of
you there.<br>
