CANCELED
Tesla Owners Club Pacific Northwest invites you to join a unique EVent in the heart of the Methow Valley–our Tesla Campout Weekend. This is a private event–open to members and their guests. Winthrop is a western theme town with plenty of interesting attractions.
Tickets, which include the Poker Run & BBQ dinner Saturday evening, are available now on Eventbrite. Please contact Jack (509) 293-1195 if you have questions.
Event
Friday afternoon we will gather at the Methow Valley Cider House for registration, icebreaker, and great cider and food.
Saturday we will conduct the Poker Run. This fun event involves driving to designated points along the route and drawing a playing card. Driver with the highest five cards is the winner. TOCPNW has designed several contests for which the winners will get to draw an “extra” card. The Poker Run will terminate in Twisp and the day will conclude with a western BBQ and campfire. If you are not interested in driving the Poker Run, check this site for other things to do: http://www.winthropwashington.com/things-do/family-friendly-fun/.
Sunday, after the awarding of prizes, we will break into smaller groups. We have some suggested activities ranging from a guided walking tour of the Shafer Museum (http://www.shafermuseum.com/) to visiting the historic western theme town of Winthrop. Our focus is on FUN.
Accommodations
Campsites can be arranged with Anna Kominak of the Pine Near RV Park; they have cabins, Tipis, tent sites and connections with hotels in Winthrop. Anna has blocked out facilities for us; however, each participant must make reservations individually. Contact her at (509) 341-4062 or pinenearpark@gmail.com. You can view the facilities at www.pinenearpark.com.
You can also join the weekend events but stay at a local hotel if camping isn’t your preferred option. Anna has offered to assist with making these arrangements as well.
Food
This is a “bring your own beverage event” – we will have water, but nothing else. Tickets include Saturday BBQ. Other meals are open. Some of us will go to town for breakfast Saturday AM before the Poker Run – others will probably form their own group breakfasts at the campsite.
Charging Plan
Up to nine big battery cars can be charged at the Pine Near RV Park’s 80A J1772 EVSE during a 15-hour period from 5PM Friday to 8AM Saturday. There are also plenty of 240 VAC 50A NEMA 14-50 charging opportunities available in the park.
A big THANK YOU to Plug-in North Central Washington for sponsoring the 80A, and to the Pine Near RV Park for offering free charging. As a courtesy, if you charge at the RV park, please consider bringing cash, as we will collect donations for the RV park (suggested donation $5).
