Dave (dave076) and I met in executive session Monday night via phone. Looking at the requests of when not to have the gathering, we have come up with the following proposals. Both are based on staying away from June because the weather can still be a bit iffy up here and everyone getting back before Labor Day to get kids back to school.
 
UPDATE: OPTION 1 WAS SELECTED: 
Option #1 - July 13th through the 17th. This is eight days after the 4th of July and allows ten days to get back east for Ebofest.
 
Option #2 - August 10th thought the 14th. This give you nine days to detox after Ebofest and ten days to get back for Corvettes at Carlisle. It also allows for plenty of time if your kids start school prior to Labor Day.
 
Dave and I also talked a bit about location, he has relatives in Fircrest (Tacoma) and I live in Gig Harbor. We'll start looking for lodging options with security, trailer parking and possible RV options in mind.
 
Hey Tom74, thanks for responding to our request for addition help. I realize Medford is a bit far away but perhaps we'll get you in on our next conference call.
 
So let's hear it !! Let us know if you plan to attend and which dates work for you !!

That's funny, please do not be concerned about ebofest....that date can always be changed and does not affect the whole group just some of the crazy eastcoasters.
Plan what ever date is best for the group and your area.
Ebofest will be fine.....the next one will be the 6th one..... so it really should be held 666.....
Carry on.......
Thank you, Evil Smile ebo

Thanks for taking charge of this!!

My one favor (for now) is that you try to find a hotel that has been built as recently as possible.  

Thanks!

Ebo - thanks, we'll take you up on your offer if we need to. Does either of the two proposed dates work better for you ?? I know you wanted to come out to see family in Tacoma.
 
Adam - no truck stops or outdoor toilets, we promise. Any preference on the two dates proposed ??
 
So far the July date has the momentum, Sarge is a go and I believe Cindy (cinor) liked that date from my earlier post. Two to nothin', but it's not over yet.

July looks good here.  The snow is finally melted in the Dakotas by then!

John, I don't think either will matter much, I know any time I have been there in August the weather has been fantastic. This year you had great weather from May till now....so who knows.
I'll either come in before the date chosen or stay after the gathering.
My brother will have me out on the boat (which he keeps in Gig Harbor) fishing every day!
I'll be flying in for sure and most likely riding with Adam in his C7 Shocked

July is good for me (Aug will work also), the earlier it is the longer the daylight lasts. I sure Ebo will agree that Ebofest does not have to co-inside with "Vettes at the Beach", we can get together anytime.
Thank you guys for taking on the planning for this,
Dave

Thanks Cindy and Dave - that's two more for July. I'm trying to stay away from the original Ebofest dates, but we'll use them as alternatives if we have any lodging or other scheduling issues.
 
My wife and I are heading down the coast for about a month to extend this year's sunshine as long as we can. We're planning to be back the second week of Oct. I'll try my best to get on-line during that time but there are a few areas of the Oregon and N. Cal coast where coverage is iffy.
 
I hope to have clear direction on the date of the gathering by our return and we will begin searching for lodging options and looking at possible events.
 
Thanks again !!
