Conconully, WA 6/20-6/25

We arrived in Conconully a day earlier than we had planned. When we left Toppenish, WA that morning of the 20th of June we headed for Grand Coulee Dam and then trekked our way to Conconully later in that day we arrived about 5pm, just in time for dinner!
We had a fun time with all who were there.. I would try and recite all the names of everyone, but I might forget someone and don’t want to do that!
LaDonna Mohler deserves a GRAND “Thank you” for all her hard work and being our camp hostess! LaDonna organized all the group meals. A lot of work and a lot of getting it all together! Thank you LaDonna!
Our group had a fishing derby that started noon on Friday and went to noon on Saturday.. I didn’t win .. However my nephew Phillip and another guy Jeremy tied for first place. Split the pot of $230!! wooo hoo with their whole 17 ounce fish! It was fun.. really fish weren’t biting.. What fish we did get were fairly small.. oh well.. everyone that participated, loved it!
My brother Rick and his family were the reason we were there this year.Rick’s 3 children were there and wife Lynn.. Jesse (Jess family couldn’t make it due to sickness), Phillip his wife Kristy and their son Max and Janelle with  her daughter Cadence.
This group of people have been getting together every year now for many years at the same time. Had a really fantastic turn out! If I were to guess how many people were there?? I would guess about 40 of us! We had a fun time! We did long walks, road the quads, went out in the boat, paddled the kayaks, fished, had parties every night! Went out to karaoke on Friday night at the local bar, Tamarack’s.. Everyone that went had a REALLY GOOD TIME And those that didn’t go, had a really good time at camp..
Conconully is noted for their “Outhouse” races in the winter time as well at their “dog sled” races..
The town consists of two grocery stores (one had lots of groceries the other one is very limited) 2 bars and a post office.. cute place.. can even ride your quads on the streets there.. pretty cool.
The weather pretty much SUCKED! The first couple of days we were there, weather was almost 80.. nice.. then the clouds moved in and then the rain.. nice for Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, rain Saturday/Sunday/Monday.. Thunder/Lightening for the past 3 days.. nice huh.. Over all the it was a fun fun time! If I based our fun on the weather?? well we all know that sucked.. However if it weren’t for such a wonderful GROUP of people that made everything FABULOUS!
We encountered many different wild life.. we experienced bear cubs,  doe’s, fawns, bucks, eagles, really an array of different birds, so much to see! Gorgeous scenery!
A big Thank you also go to our fabulous hosts/owners of the campground Shady Pines Resort, Steve & Dina.. They really put up with a lot from this fun group!
