Yeah I think one guy is going to try and have something set up for us Tomorrow. I say we wait and see if they get something set up and then book.
Who all is going to come down with us them at 7am?
Jeremy
p.s. I would like the be on the road at 7am so if you meet and want to talk for 20min get there at 6:40am. We want to meet at BIC still or the Chevron on 64th and Hwy 15? its right on the way to the boarder and will be faster.

C'mon Matt! If it's still makin' power, who cares about a little smoke?! Throw on a cat, and most of your smoke issues will go away. I also use an oil stabilizer, seems to help a little.

I agree, Randy and I a few years ago when we went to the PNW meet in Portland He was smoking like a chimney. He made it there and back fine, I was coughing up black tar for weeks though after following him :icon_razz
I would bring the car Matt you know you will regret not bringing it.

Who cares if it is an na. A meet is about the people and having fun with their cars.

I think the problem is that he's 90% of the way through a GE - GTE swap.
Any word yet on that hotel?
I'm seriously considering turning west at Mt. Vernon, driving down through Whidbey Island, taking the ferry to Port Townsend and driving south to Bremerton from there. Longer trip in theory, however it's beautiful country to drive through and there's zero traffic.

For the time of day you're leaving, this is the only way to go. Just make sure you check the schedule on that ferry, I'm not sure if it runs real late :dunno:
I was considering taking the edmonds ferry, but I don't think my car could get on the ferry, the ramps are f'n steep.
GrimJack;1366586 said:
If you choose to do this let me know. I have a school I have attend that week but they should let me out early on Fri. I'm also trying to talk a guy that just picked up a 91 with a 1J into going. Also news on the hotel would be good as I plan to stay down there.
P.S. The keystone/Port Townsend ferry runs pretty late that day.

That sounds like a nice drive! The thought of trying to get my car on and off a ferry sends chills down my spine though. What time are you heading down Dave?
Wait , I am almost postiving the ferry from keystone is reservation only. I don't remember clearly but something is screwy with the schedule so CALL first
mattsplat72;1366913 said:
Keystone used to be by reservation only, but they have resumed standby service, though reservations are still advised. If we do make reservations, we have to show up 30min early.
The one time I went without a reservation, I got right on the ferry without any trouble. Though like they say, better safe than sorry
I probably cannot leave until after work. I'm off early on Fridays, but that still doesn't get me on the road until ~3pm, and I have to leave from close to Duane's place - I work right next to Brentwood Mall.
I do, however, have a nexus membership, so border wait will be minimal.
