Heck if you live in Republic you are half way there. I'M in Spokane. The events are always the first FULL weekend of June and the weekend after Labor day. Many of us go up the week before. The Float Flys are loacted an Sandy Pointe Campground, Just outside of Salmon Arm BC There are many campsites with RV hookups and a few cabins that are very rustic. There are several motels in S.A which is only about 3 miles away and you can usually find someone who us camping to babysit you plane overnight if you don't want to take it back and forth
