WA state veterans wheel/bbq/get together

I'm in, following...

 

I’m also new to the PNW. And would also be very interested in doing this as well.

 

awesome! great, another one to the list. Still no word back from WWP but I will try again this week. again, if anyone has any ideas or locations that would be great! https://www.wakeforwarriors.org/events this organization is amazing, its open to all veterans. VERY FUN , they have a event coming in june to lake tapps. I have been to several of these last year and had a blast. If anyone is interested in scuba diving and has been in OIR,OEF,OIF, and the GWOT, wounded, purple heart, anything, PM me, I am working with a non profit that helps teach diving therapy for PTSD relief.

 

Anyone want to grab a beer at Off-Camber Brewery in Puyallup on Saturday around 4?

 

uhh yeah! do they have food?

 

They have different vendors there each day, I think Saturday will be a hotdog vendor.. probably makes some different variants would be my guess. I follow their IG and that's where they normally say.

 

I am game. I do have an alignment at 2 tho in tacoma

 

Any updates on this event?

 

Events. No I am still asking for Input/suggestions and so forth drone everywhere. Do we want to keep it local? Go somewhere 2-6 hour drive? I am not a PNW native so not sure

 

Let's keep it local, if possible. I'm in Everett area. I'm a first timer at camp out, therefore I don't have any recommendation on whereabouts etc..

 

I agree. Maybe somewhere on the coast? Or onp?

 

The difficulty with finding camp right now is the snow. Most public campgrounds are closed for the season, and good (solidarity, view, cleanliness) dispersed camping is inaccessible due to the snow pack. I can scout a spot or two potentially on Sunday or next weekend if we want dispersed camping. Depends on what creature comforts y'all require.

 

Here is a possibility https://parks.state.wa.us/554/Ocean-City

 

hey all, is there room on the camping trip and beers tomorrow at 4, for one more?
I had a thought that a recommendation of camping could be at a MWR campsite if all are vets.

 

Room for beers at 4. I’m going after I get off work, they open at 4 and that’s what time I get off. I only work around the corner.

 

Can old Oregon Marines be involved?

be safe

It would probably be best if you were to keep us young guys from doing anything stupid

 

Of course you're welcome. Reguardless of branch, rank,gender, identify, but if identify as a attack helicopter we could be friends

 

Might be a little far for me to make but if you guys decide to do any wheeling trips south let me know.

 

I'm not a deployed vet, but did serve 6 years in the Army. Several of my friends served and were involved in conflict.
They changed. I understand why. They were involved.
While they were active, I was sent pictures by some, not seen by many, to pass around to others who were friends or related.
The PTSD, after viewing the pictures, I get it.

To those who've come back home, welcome back.

I think an off-road gathering/camping trip (Olympic National Forest is beautiful surroundings) would be good for your soul.
