It's been a while since I've seen any mention of an Inland NW rendezvous. If there is still interest out there, let's do it! The Potters will be at Pend Oreille Lake in July and I understand we are invited to join them. That would be fine, although I prefer to avoid crowds. I have no idea how big a group they'll have. By the way, I just did the overnight trip they are planning from Farragut State Park to Whiskey Rock and back this week. Nice trip, although those 30 mph gusts we had sure kicked up the waves. If you want to see a live web cam and full weather conditions of the lake near Whiskey Rock (including water temp. clear down to 400 ft., for pete's sake!) check out www.lpo.dt.navy.mil.

On another matter, is there still anyone on this list who sails Coeur d' Alene Lake? I'm planning on spending a week exploring that lake starting on about the 22nd of this month and would appreciate input on launch areas where I can leave my car, prime anchorages, highlights not to be missed, etc. Please reply off-list to leyake@juno.com. A rendezvous worked into that trip schedule would be very convenient, too.
