Two weeks from tomorrow there will be a lot of feral cats on trailers (and at least one in the back of a truck) headed to the Wallowa Lake Lodge for the 4th annual Alpine Cat Jamboree - everyone travel safe! I am very very very excited for this event, it is going to be a GREAT time. From what I have heard there is going to be around 25ish cats and 50ish people attending (so far). It is going to be great to meet all the new people, see the friends from past jamborees, check out the different cats, both Tuckers and all of us non-Tucker two trackers, and of course see the Yurt Miester again.
This event is all because of Jesse (Alpine Cat Tours), thanks Jesse for sponsoring this. From what I hear he is bringing his 1966 543 that he gives folks rides in at Mt. Hood. He is also bringing his 1950 Taper back, love both of those machines. Maybe someday he will let me ride in one of them, I let him ride in the back of the Frandee once, I don't think he was impressed.
Jesse, his 543, and number one Super Fan:
Jesse also got Tucker Sno-Cat Corp in as a sponsor and they are sending a box full of swag to give away to the attendees along with the swag that Jesse is giving away from his company. It sounds like a Tucker Rep is not going to be able to make it this year, it is their busy time of the year. Here is Clyde from Tucker Corp from year one of this Jamboree helping put a new link on the "Gobblers" pontoon. He is either praying or his hands are cold, not sure.
And the infamous Yurt Miester Connelly (Wallowa Alpine Huts) is our local tour guide and sponsor. All I can say is what a character this guy is.
Here is the Lodge where Madeline will be our host (sorry didn't have a picture of their cabins next door). What a great place to stay, we had a great time staying here last year and the meals they served were great. I really liked how they had sack lunches for us every day. Just grab and go.
And last but not least, the US Forest Service, for letting us play in the snow within their jurisdiction.
See you all there!
