The semi-annual NCH gatherings have proven to be quite successful. Brian has brought his clipboard of activities to Florida four times, thrice in California, as well as clubs in Michigan, Colorado and Oklahoma; even the Nudist Clubhouse Expo 2012 in Las Vegas was a de facto gathering for many NCH members who bought tickets to the nude pool parties. The ones at Cypress Cove Nudist Resort & Spa usually set attendance records and the most recent, at Oaklake Trails Naturist Park, was a wonderful opportunity for Sooners and surrounding state members to join.

A constituency yet to participate is the Pacific Northwest. One resort in particular would be well suited to host a NCH event: The Willamettans. The 40-acre forested club is about thirty minutes from Springfield, Oregon, where the 500+ owner-members make it the largest nudist organization in the region. The modern facility features RV sites, rental cabins, a heated pool and Jacuzzi, extensive hiking trails along with all the usual amenities and accoutrements to keep the most discriminating nudist happy.

For those opting to fly, Southwest Airlines provides daily flights into Portland International Airport, with The Willamettans located less than three hours south along . Also, PDX serves as a hub for Alaska/Horizon and SkyWest airlines as well as providing gates to a number of global and regional air carriers.

If a gathering in the Eugene/Springfield area of west-central Oregon is of interest — or elsewhere in the Pacific Northwest — please let Brian know via eMAIL or by posting your thoughts on this thread.
