Hi Permies. Can anyone give me advice on where to either find a motel, camp out, or park my car and sleep in it? I'm driving up from Portland this weekend to do the butchery workshop by Farmstead Meatsmith at a dairy farm in Carnation and can't seem to find any lodging that isn't an expensive B&B type situation. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Kevin

Hey Kevin, if you're camping, you might try http://www.kingcounty.gov/recreation/parks/inventory/toltmacdonald.aspx, which is right in Carnation. In fact, some of the footage of Samantha talking about dandelions in Paul's latest video happened at this park.

I'll see if I can drum up additional ideas for you.

By the way, my son, Forrest, is going to just the Friday day, and I'll be driving him to and from. Be sure to say 'hi' since you might recognize us before we would know you.

Hi Jocelyn,

I wound up staying at a hotel close to the class, it worked out fine. Thanks for your help though.

Which one was your son? Was he really tall? I didn't get to talk to too many people the first day.

Hi Kevin - glad you found a spot. Yup, my son is tall and quiet; so I imagine he didn't talk much himself. I wasn't able to say hello as I thought I might.

Which day did you prefer?

The first day was more interesting simply because I thought the way we slaughtered the pig was unique, especially the way the head just popped off!
