Plaidman Posted September 18, 2009 Author Posted September 18, 2009 Smith Rock Weather from NOAA Here is the weather report for Smith Rock for the weekend.
Plaidman Posted September 18, 2009 Author Posted September 18, 2009 SWAG -- SWAG !!!! SWAG ---- I have been told that last year someone bought $20 worth of raffle tickets and walked away with over $500 of gear. This year they have even more SWAG and Raffle items. So everyone is a winner. Very politically correct.
