I was there. Gayle already beat me to posting about the meet up yesterday and is Featured! It was my first one ever in the 5 years I have been with Active Rain. It was put together by Debb Janes and Rene Fabre. Even tho it was in Washington a few of us Oregonians crossed the border. It was worth the almost 8 hour round trip drive. Some of them have been my friend for sometime in the rain. It will be special now that I know them! Thank you all!

Rob, I was SO happy to meet you and really surprised that you made that long drive--well worth it, my (new) friend! I loved your smiles in the photos. If I'd had more time, I would have gone and gotten that "profile" photo of our car, but hey, it took FOREVER to get all of these pictures together in a reasonable manner without missing anyone.
So, I'm #6, but what's in a number??!!

Gayle even beat the hosts to it - lol. I had to work yesterday afternoon, last night, and all day...just got an hour or two to catch up) It was a pleasure to meet you and I'm still so impressed you made the long drive. I've always thought Florence is a beautiful little spot - we'll make sure to call next time we are in the area.

Gayle: come on down and you can ride in the car. Meanwhile for a better look go to my website.
Debb> It was a wonderful time. I figured coffee an hour tops. Should have cleared my schedule for lunch too. Do we really have to wait another year for a meetup? Sorry Krista didn't show as she is someone I have known a long time.
Roger: Put it on your calender for next year!

Hi Rob, I know it was a drive, but it was so good to see you again my friend! Isn't it a blast to see the "live and moving" fellow AR'ers instead of just that little square box photo?

Rob, although I know a few AR members here in Huntsville, I've only been to one gathering of AR members 3-4 years ago. It was a RainCamp in Atlanta...I'm guessing there was at least 200 members in the same place...very cool.

How wonderful! I still have never been to one. I've been to RainCamp when they used to hold them, but not a local meetup.

Rob, it certainly sounds as if you all had a great gathering. As Peter den Boer mentioned, maybe we can have a big one in the Midwest next year. I would certainly make the drive to have the opportunity to meet some of the wonderful friends I have met here on Active Rain.

Im glad we got to meet in person at the Vancouver Meet Up. As I said somewhere else, I really enjoyed Florence, OR when I was there a few times. It's cool that I actually know someone from there...
