I'd be interested in coming if it's either the 20th or the 27th. I'll throw a link to this on the GPAS site also.

 

[bpimm]

First and second weeks in October are out for me, Last two weeks would work.

Nice to see GPAS showing interest.

Sweet, I can make that date. Looking forward to it. Any ideas on a format? Just bring what you can spare?

 

[bpimm]

This is going to be fun, since zer0zax has the driftwood covered I'll leave mine home, I have a bunch of small stumps I drug home. I will be bringing a bunch of ammania bonsai, Dwarf hairgrass, a little Downoi, hygrophilia sp. low grow, limnophila aromatica, I have a ton of java fern if anybody is interested. and what ever else I can dig up. Sounds like we will have a good selection to pick from.

I also will throw in a folding table in case we need it.

I'll be there, don't know for sure yet what I'm bringing. Probably Dwarf Hairgrass, Anubias nana, Downoi, Hygrophilia low grow, Ammania Bonsai, Java Fern, Marsalia minutia, Maybe some Limnophila Aromatica, Rotala wallichii and anything else I come across.

Dibs on some of the Ranunculus!

Big glass of hot Grand marnia followed by sleep.

I'm fighting to get over the same thing, still have a lingering cough.
Wouldn't bother me if you came with a cold.

You might try Vicks Dayquill, it seems to work for me and I'm not a Zombie when I take it.

Had a lot of fun, great to put faces to names. Thanks Robert for getting the ball rolling. I'm all for a Portland/Oregon planted tank group if you will allow those of us from north of the river. Promise I won't steal any driftwood.:slywink:

 

[bpimm]

I'm down for the Eagle creek trip, I can even share some of the wood from the north. [smilie=l:

Robert, January sounds good, Tanks should need trimming after the holidays.

Swift creek reservoir catches everything coming off the south side of Mt. St. Helens, The Forrest service contracts someone to clean out the reservoir every year. I don't know what they do with the wood, maybe pulp, but last year the pile was probably 40' tall and 60-70 feet across. once they have it in a pile you can't touch it but there is still plenty on the shores, I have found nice stuff around the camp ground. Most of the good stuff comes out of the many nooks and crannies down the edge of the lake. Maybe next spring we can make a trek up there with the boat.

 

[bpimm]

Any date in January works for me.

 

[bpimm]

The 10th is out for me now, the 24th is still OK. I have another meeting to schedule in January and a possible race to go to depending on the weather. If we could nail down a date that would help me schedule the other one and not overlap. I have a selection of rock to bring to this one.

 

[bpimm]

Sounds like it's the 24th.

Wilsonville is fine with me, I'm probably the farthest out on the north end so someone else will have to find a place to meet.

I like the idea of bouncing the meeting around peoples houses so we can see the tanks, but the logistics would be a lot harder to make work with the vast area we are coming from. I doubt anyone would want to drive all the way up here to my place and Eugene is a 2.5 hour drive for me at 138 Miles. Someplace in the middle would probably work better for most. I'm an Hour from Wilsonville.

 

[bpimm]

I'm bringing some Marsilea minutia.

 

[bpimm]

I'm not looking for anything in particular, slow growing plants mainly.
