Ken Caylor working on getting a templated frame approved for the Kiosks on the Byway. 

Tim A reported that the Expo that he attended in Wenatchee had driving routes and trails.  We need to get copies of these documents.  Lots of conversation about CCC and Ice Age Floods. 

December 1, 2012 deadline for getting articles to Tim A to be placed in the Dec Newsletter.  Each rep(?) should prepare a article for newsletter highlighting something in their area on the CC Byway for present or future newsletter. 

Suggested maybe getting a series of Geocaches  going along the Byway. Mayor Walton, Connell suggested that we promote CCC even more because people like himself like to travel off the freeways and see the country side. As an example,  Connell has sidewalk tables and people stop and rest and then go into businesses. 
			
CCC would like to know how many hits the CCC had on the America Roads Site. 

Ken and Roger would like to see the CCC extended to Palouse Falls as a spur.  Tim suggested that they do some preliminary  work so an assessment can be evaluated at a later date. 

Big Event 2013 - one site being considered is Hartline School - has large grounds - building with space in case of rain and room for lots of activities.  Food - could do tours from there - golfing near by - Maybe Wine and Cheese and Micro Brews - Bar-B-Q contest - chili cook off - home made cookies auction. 

Ken and Tim and Dale have cleaned out all CCC belongings from Don Nutt building and placed items in CCC storage shed.
