Want to host again a breakfast and Artist Point Drive. Breakfast by Nord and Nate
at 9:14am then a drive up Mt. Baker.


August 10th or 17th, you guys pick the date, the most votes will be the day. Only
two weekends available so chime in and help pick the day.

Greene will be bringing the General if he can get her out of the pool. I have 3 bathes,
two couches, some airbeds if you want to stay and a BBQ to fix dinner and drink.
Large yard to put up a tent or Rich bring the Motorhome but you better tow the
Cream cycle. 242 is bringing his car not the BBQ. Rockey you have to make this one.




Plenty of notice for Elliot to get his car done and leave early

I really want to make this trip. It will all depend on my Physical Therapy status and willingness to sit in my car for a 3+ hour trip. I might have to have a couple rest breaks to work out the back. I'm only good for about 50 minutes in a car right now.

How about we pick the weekend it doesn't rain or isn't 100 degrees.

Posted by: Daiberl Jul 3 2013, 08:48 PM

I will try to make it, at the moment both weekends would work. Need someone who can help me getting the windshield into the -6 before!

N, which weekend is Ron's car show? that might be an issue with some of us.
Randy

Posted by: NORD Jul 3 2013, 11:51 PM

Randy; Ron's show is August 4th, Walkers Swap Meet is August 3rd.

I posted a thread to Ron's Show also.

This sounds good to me. At this point either date works so I'll go with the consensus. Guess I better get busy doing my brakes and shocks.

Posted by: aircooledtechguy Jul 5 2013, 12:11 AM

I'll be there,. . . but that was a given.

If you have never made the drive, it is a really a nice twisty drive that is about 100+ miles round trip. Beautiful views (well when you get a chance to take your eyes off the road for a second), fresh air and a good day with friends in your teener.

Posted by: PeeGreen 914 Jul 5 2013, 11:13 AM

There is an autocross on the 10th... nothing on the 17th

Posted by: Rocky Jul 5 2013, 05:15 PM

Arrrggg!!! I so wanted to do this Nord!!! I have crap both weekends that I cant get out of, and trust me I would if i could!

Posted by: Rocky Jul 5 2013, 06:51 PM

Ok, after setting my brain straight, by the wife, 10th no go but 17th is good.

Marty can't make either though

Posted by: aircooledtechguy Jul 5 2013, 08:24 PM

It appears that the 17th may be the day especially with an autoX going on the 10th. . . But I too will defer to the masses. . .

Posted by: TC 914-8 Jul 5 2013, 08:28 PM

I would be in for the 17th

Posted by: NORD Jul 6 2013, 08:31 PM

Well lets just hold off till after the long weekend and decide. A lot of people
are out of town for the holiday and Greene has been at the Bar for a week so we should give him and the General a few days to detox.

Posted by: NORD Jul 8 2013, 06:03 PM

I see the Pacific N.W. Region PCA is having thier Mt. Baker run on August 17th.

Do we want all those slow nineewebens in our way? They run the road with SUVs.

Posted by: NORD Aug 6 2013, 09:38 AM

Time to this thread.

This will be August 17th and that seemed to be when most were available. Nate and I went up last Wend. to proof the drive, the road is sweet. 6FREAK better make this for a breakin run or we better see a build thread about that project. Last checked and GREENE is still at the bar. We may need an intervention for him, life isn't all left twist caps, there are alot of right turn that need to be driven also.

Nord's House cell# 360 961 0593
291 Ten Mile Rd.
Lynden, WA 98264

There is plenty of room if you have a motor home to park or trailer your car and all are welcome to spend the night and drive home next day. Let us know how many so we can plan for food. I've invited a freind with a Mercedes SL to run point so he shoud be getting the tickets. Nord & Nate think of everything so be there.

Are our Canadian freind affraid to come down and play with us?

Lets see some of you show up. My house is only 9 miles south of Lynden Crossing down the Guide Meridian.

Posted by: JRust Aug 6 2013, 11:01 AM

Well damn I'll be up there this weekend. Although not in my 914 . My son & I are hitting the mariners game saturday night & sunday afternoon. Stopping by 6freaks to check out his new motor on the way up. A drive would have been cool too. I'll have to see if I can swing next weekend. I should have my 914 roadworthy by then

Posted by: PanelBilly Aug 6 2013, 11:23 AM

I can come up Wednesday or Friday night

Posted by: NORD Aug 6 2013, 11:50 AM

JRUST; There is a G 35 in the garage if you want to chase the SLR and keep police busy or we can find you a ride.

Posted by: Mr.242 Aug 6 2013, 11:51 AM

I've got marching orders to attend a 1st Birthday Party in Portland. Pretty special set of twins.

So I am now out. Sorry. Looks like me joining any 914 gatherings simply isn't in the cards as of late.

Have a blast ! I'm sure I will miss a great time.

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Aug 6 2013, 05:38 PM

I will more than likely be camping. Put in reservations last month before knowing about this drive. MIGHT be able to convince the better half to go for a drive..... I've always wanted to do this cruise...

Posted by: Rocky Aug 6 2013, 07:53 PM

Im in for sure!!! Haven't run the thing since WCR

What time to meet in the AM...0914?

Posted by: sixnotfour Aug 6 2013, 08:59 PM

Come eat and play with us. . .

Posted by: Rocky Aug 7 2013, 07:58 AM

Yes, I know you all would rather have my wife along but alas she must work to support our "hobbies"

Posted by: 6freak Aug 7 2013, 08:46 AM

Posted by: 6freak Aug 7 2013, 08:47 AM

Posted by: 6freak Aug 7 2013, 08:49 AM

have fun fella`s be safe

Posted by: Rocky Aug 13 2013, 05:53 PM

This needed a little update as its this weekend. So who shall join us for such a spectacular opportunity and wonderful offer by our good friends Nord and Nate???

75 degrees and sunny predicted

Posted by: NORD Aug 13 2013, 06:07 PM

Thanks for the bump Rocky, I was going to get a head count so Nate knows how many pigs he is going to have to slaughter for sausage. I've been going down to the neibors after dark and getting eggs, some have broken so they will be scrambled again.

So chime in if coming and if your from Canada, email me I need maple syrup.

Posted by: KELTY360 Aug 13 2013, 08:19 PM

Doesn't look like I'm going to be able to make it. Drive safe and have fun.

Posted by: messix Aug 13 2013, 09:15 PM

i'll be coming around the mountain......

Posted by: NORD Aug 15 2013, 08:48 AM

The rain is suppose to be gone by Saturday. How many on the fence thinking about it?

Posted by: greenie Aug 15 2013, 11:01 AM

I'm trying like hell to make this, always a lot of fun!

We have a wedding reception in Snohomish at three with family staying at my house, I'm having a bit of a struggle slipping out. If I can get my brother in law to drive with me I considered it family time so I'll be there.

Nord I'll let you know one way or the other as soon as I figure it out.

Posted by: rdauenhauer Aug 15 2013, 01:22 PM

I was informed yesterday the my presence was requested at work.

Posted by: Dasnowman Aug 15 2013, 03:39 PM

I would love to go to this but my car is in a couple hundred pieces.

Posted by: NORD Aug 15 2013, 04:45 PM

What is your daily driver? Can it make it up the mountain?

Posted by: messix Aug 15 2013, 10:25 PM

nord I should be up there about 9am and I will have a empty seat'


if any one wants a ride..... [ must be able to enjoy sustained "spirited driving"] i'm leaving millcreek Everett area at 7:30 ish.

Posted by: Dasnowman Aug 15 2013, 11:48 PM

lol yes both the wife's escape and my Frontier can make it but not a fun spirited drive either way. I would have ask to jump in with some one as I have yet to sit in a self moving 914! lol But I already agreed to take my son to one of his friends B-day parties.

I do how ever drive down that way and hit Dickey's BBQ on the way to the in laws cabin at Lake Whatcom and would love to see your car and talk shop on one friday night on the way down.

I wonder is speed metal army knows about this as he is a fellow teener up here in Canada.

anYONE GOING TO THE 22nd GCVWS UP IN Vancouver next weekend?

Posted by: NORD Aug 16 2013, 02:45 PM

For all that are driving up to Lynden Saturday, The Lynden fair is happening this week and I want to advise you all to do the speed limit on Hanigan Rd. and the Guide Meridian, HWY 539 as the Troopers are working both roads.

Posted by: JRust Aug 16 2013, 03:01 PM

I was hoping to make it but my car isn't ready. I'll be spending saturday working on it though . So hopefully by the end of the day I can drive it

Posted by: messix Aug 16 2013, 06:02 PM

Damn troopers....

Posted by: Rocky Aug 16 2013, 06:28 PM

Im in but the weather looks to be quite iffy for sure

Posted by: NORD Aug 17 2013, 07:43 AM

No rain, lets go.

I just checked radar, some clouds and blue sky.

Posted by: messix Aug 17 2013, 08:02 AM

I'll be leaving in 30min

Posted by: NORD Aug 17 2013, 11:23 AM

Greene

Were leaving without you.

Posted by: mightyohm Aug 17 2013, 12:02 PM

Have fun, guys. I always find out about these drives too late, just hours too late in this case.

Posted by: Rocky Aug 17 2013, 07:29 PM

Just got back home, 380 miles total! I5 sucked, but the rest of the drive was epic!

Thanks Nord for everything!!!

Troy probably needs to change his undies

Posted by: messix Aug 17 2013, 08:14 PM

what undies? ...... 2 days past laundry day....

Posted by: NORD Aug 17 2013, 08:16 PM

I'm thinking our next breakfast should have a 914 driving school. How about
September 8th? Autocross, Port of Bellingham Airport. I've signed up Troy, Nate and Chris in the blue 914. You guys, I need your $40 each.

Rocky: Thanks for being the long distance participant. Thanks to all the others that came along.

Posted by: messix Aug 17 2013, 08:19 PM

I would love too nord but I think that's the weekend that i'm working on a rock crawl comp.

Posted by: Rocky Aug 17 2013, 08:42 PM

Too funny!

Forgot to mention, 33 mpg over those 380 miles! God I love these cars!!!

Good to see everyone!

GO HAWKS!!!

Posted by: messix Aug 17 2013, 08:46 PM

I think the return run was awesome the way we went..... until I5...
