The Site (and How to Get There)

Following our original flop at securing a site, Ian and Rachel Clemons have generously offered to host our mini-ale weekend at their farm in Gaston, OR.  This is a primitive site and not a full campground, so please see the Details page for more info on what to bring and how to plan.

To get there, find your way to Forest Grove (the map here may help), and then take Hwy 47 south out of Forest Grove.  In 6 miles, you'll reach Gaston at which point turn left onto E Main St. (at the fire station).  E Main becomes SW Gaston Rd just outside of town - in 1.3 miles, SW Gaston Rd will jog to the left, then to the right, then becomes SW Dixon Mill Rd.  The farm is just a half mile past that corner on your right.  Park anywhere on the grass - NOT on SW Dixon Mill Rd, please.

The farm has a main house, deck, barn, yurt, and of course, a large open complex for camping.  The main house is our "home base" which will serve as our kitchen, dining area, plus likely singing later in the evening.  Please do not go upstairs at all - this is a private residence.

The barn loft will be headquarters for pickup dancing and jamming to your heart's content.

Families may camp in the yurt should they desire - please let us know your plans.

Please set up tents in marked areas.
