NOT THE OTHER 2009 ones that have been replied to and bumped.

For some reason, both my 2009 and my 2010 trades are posted near the top. Does anyone know how to get my 2009 posting deleted or at least moved down in priority?

Now to get ready..*G*

I don't know what I'll have to trade. We just had our back yard completely redone and all I have are empty beds. I'll find something to bring, even if it's just a few plants started from seed.

I have a huge collection of pots (all sizes) & trays (2 sizes, several different patterns of holes) donated to our non-profit camp in Auburn for my gardening efforts in zone 7 foothills at over 500ft.

I will generously trade these supplies for any labeled plants that are:

*low-maintenance (don't need a lot of fussing such as deadheading, cutting back, or dividing every 2 years to look good)
*drought tolerant once established
*container plants for established whiskey barrels or hanging pots
*okay in rocky, clay soil
*evergreen groundcovers & shrubs (cuttings okay)
*all the various light conditions & moisture as well, though many places are part shade.
**if at all possible pot up well enough to hold until Memorial Day Family Camp volunteers can transplant them. If not, make it obvious to me which plants need re-potting or heeled in compost.

Please label plants w/ at least a common name. If possible add light level sun, part sun, shade. If the plant doesn't take PM sun indicate that as well.

From North of Olympia:

1. Exit I-5 at exit 116. If headed southbound, turn left at the top of the ramp. If headed northbound, turn right at the top of the ramp. This puts you on Mounts Road, which becomes Nisqually Road, which is also the Old Pacific Highway further along.
2. Follow that road (40 MPH zone) over a curved bridge, over the Nisqually River, through the town of Nisqually (35 MPH zone), past Reservation Road (50 MPH zone) to State Route 510. At the stop sign, turn left (your lane will be slightly uphill) - there is a pull-out lane to facilitate merging onto Hwy 510.
3. Follow Hwy 510 to Meridian Road and turn right. (Note: Meridian road is on the outside curve of the road, and this is where people get lost - they overshoot it. If you find yourself at the Red Wind Casino, you went too far. Turn around and follow directions as if coming from Yelm.)
4. Turn left at TriLakes Market and Gas Station onto Spurgeon Creek Road.
5. Follow Spurgeon Creek Road to 80th. Turn right.
6. The clubhouse is dead ahead, at the top of the hill. You do not have a stop sign, so pull straight into the parking area and find a place to park.

From South of Olympia:

1. Take Exit 108. On the ramp, there are 3 exits. Stay left and take the last exit which becomes 3rd Ave SE.
2. Go to the light and turn right onto College Street.
3. Travel for about 8 miles on College Street. At 45th, there is a traffic circle. Take the 2nd exit to stay on College Street.
4. Go to 2nd light after traffic circle. There is a Safeway on the left and a Lowe’s on the right. Turn left onto Yelm Highway.
5. Get in right lane of Yelm Highway and take right turn at 2nd light onto Ruddell Road.
6. On Ruddell Road, bear left to get back onto Yelm Highway. After the road straightens out, you will see the AmTrak Station below and to your left from the bridge over the railroad tracks. Continue straight.
7. Continue to TriLakes Market and Gas Station at Corner of Yelm Highway and Spurgeon-Creek Road. Turn right onto Spurgeon-Creek Road.
8. Follow Spurgeon Creek Road to 80th. Turn right.
9. The clubhouse is dead ahead, at the top of the hill. You do not have a stop sign, so pull straight into the parking area and find a place to park.

From Yelm:

1. Take Highway 510 toward Olympia. Follow the signs to Tumwater and Lacey, which will have you turn left onto the Yelm Hwy.
2. Follow the Yelm Highway until you see the TriLakes Market and Gas Station, on the left.
3. Turn left at TriLakes Market and Gas Station onto Spurgeon Creek Road.
4. Follow Spurgeon Creek Road to 80th. Turn right.
5. The clubhouse is dead ahead, at the top of the hill. You do not have a stop sign, so pull straight into the parking area and find a place to park.

(NOTE: If you do decide to take the detour, there is one thing the WSDOT map does not show, and that is a traffic circle near the WalMart. If you find yourself in that traffic circle, take the 2nd exit, go to the light, and turn right onto Marvin Road. Follow the map as drawn.)

I am updating my page, and will soon have a partial list of the items I have available.

Barb, I'm so glad you and Don are able to come. I was starting to worry when I didn't hear. You are always so generous with your freebies, is there anything I have that you want? My list is posted on My Page.

Remember, I-5 North will be closed, either at Exit 109 or 111, and the backup is predicted to be several miles long. It might be worth researching alternate cross-country routes through Tenino or Maytown, or other points south. I have driven between my house and my brother's house in Chehalis many times using the back roads, and it really doesn't take that much longer than the freeway. Something to consider. We'll wait for you, no matter how long it takes.

See you there.
