2009 National Muster

2009 National Muster - Ken Mayhew NW Region Director and 2009 Muster Chairman

Greetings from the 2009 National Muster Site in Lacey, WA. - Plans are coming together for a very successful 2009 National Muster with tours, seminars, entertainment and games.  As of 10 April we have reached the 150 rigs capacity limit, with 10 members on the waiting list.  As mentioned in the last issue of the Traveler, we will probably have some cancelations as September approaches. So if you haven’t registered yet, we encourage you to please register soon. 

 For those of you that are flying out to the National Muster and planning to stay in a motel you must register with National and we would also appreciate an e-mail or a phone call to the Muster Chairman, so we may have accurate headcount for meals. E-mail address: klmhmayhew@nwi.net , or call 509-885-3606. For information on motels, the Pacific Northwest or the Lacey, WA area you can visit the following web sites:

Stayinwashington.com:  On this site you can order a free copy of the “Washington State Visitors Guide, a 136 page booklet with information on Campgrounds, Motels, and suggestions on sightseeing in our beautiful state. Postage will apply.

iGoogle.com to search for motels in the Lacey, WA area.

For those flying out and renting an RV you can do an internet search in the SeaTac/ Seattle, Tacoma, or Olympia, area for availability. I would encourage those attending the National Muster to allow some time for sight-seeing either pre or post muster. Thoughts could be the Lewis & Clark Trail, Yellowstone, Utah National Parks, Glacier National Park,  the Canadian Provinces to the North (don’t forget your passports), Mt Rainier,  Olympic National Park, Mt Shasta, and the rugged pacific coast beaches of CA, OR, and WA. These are just a few highlights for your trip coming or going.  (see article in this issue of the Traveler “On your Way to the 2009 National Muster,, Lacey, WA”. Courtesy of Jim Mims) 

MUSTER ARRIVAL DATES: The BOD, Nomads, Fulltimers, Committee Chairmen & Volunteers, and the 2 Caravans that are ending up at National will be arriving 10-12 Sep with the Muster attendees arriving on 16 Sep for Opening Ceremonies that evening.

REMINDERS:  Don’t forget that the hookups for sewer, water and electric connections are in the back of the site, so insure you have ample lengths required for your hookups. If you want to park together, you must arrive together.  Directions to the Muster site (Washington Land Yacht Harbor) will be provided in the next issue of the Traveler.   Their web site is: Washingtonlandyachtharbor.com, (under construction at this time).
