VERY IMPORTANT NOTE

For those of you that may not know, the reception weekend is VERY much like camping out. If your staying the night you should bring a tent and all the other good things that comes with sleeping.
Also know that two meals will be provided for you, so if you are staying beyond the day of the reception you should definitely bring snacks or any other food items that you may want to cook over the fire.

Gift Registry/Donations to Allie and Zach

Allie and Zach have not registered
at any stores or anything like that.

We do not have a desire to have more tangible possessions.
We are trying to live a very simple life, one that can fit all of our possessions
in the back of a Honda Element if we needed to. If there is something that has a significance
beyond the tangible and you would love to pass it on to us, we will gladly accept.

Simple words from your heart would be good enough for us.

Allie and Zach also intend on going back to school so if you would like to donate funds towards that they would greatly appreciate it. All the funds that are received from the this reception will in fact be going towards schooling for Allie and Zach.

Directions

Rough directions for getting to Silver falls.


Find your way to Silver Falls from Interstate 5 by taking Exit 253 and turning east.

You will be on Highway 22 which runs from Bend to the Coast. Go east from Salem a few miles and take the Exit 7 offramp. At the stop sign turn left and go under Highway 22, then follow the signs. This is the main route to Silver Falls. It's about 24 miles to the Park from Salem.

Coming from the east (Santiam Canyon & Detroit Lake), the easiest way (without backtracking) is to take the signed Stayton-Sublimity Exit. There is no number on this exit sign so you'll have to watch for it by name. (If you miss it, go to Exit 7). You will exit right, then take a right to go north 1 mile to Sublimity. Go straight through town a mile or two and then turn right onto highway 214. Follow the signs.

With either route, these are paved rural roads so please drive with care. Logging trucks and farm vehicles may be encountered. The road has curves, so take your time and again, drive with care. It's about 14 miles from highway 22 to Silver Falls using the Stayton-Sublimity Exit.

Here is a link to the Silver Falls Park website if you are still confused.

To the right, underneath the picture of the falls, there is what looks like a search bar. From there you can type in your home address, or wherever you'll be coming from and it will give you directions straight to silver falls Park.

Place the reception will be held, and place we will be camping at.
