Hello all, I am going to try to get a bunch of teeners to get together on sunday the 30th of july for a nice little fun cruise out on the olympic peninsula the reason I am trying to get some of you together is that my lovely daughter Jennifer is coming out to vacation with me so I thought a fun cruise would be a blast for all! Depending on the turn out I may even spring for lunch for all attendees. Please post if interested AL

As long as the cruise doesn't take us 6,000ft up some mountain I'm game.

Posted by: Root_Werks Jul 21 2006, 08:30 AM

I might be in as well. Got to see if I can get the motor back in my car by then. Still waiting on my cams.

Bummer, can't do it. Got a http://mywebpages.comcast.net/jaransonT3/2006Invasion/ that weekend (very much like the WCC but for Type 3's only).

I have a PUDDLE of oilo under my car right now! I have not even looked to see where it is coming from...

I will be the mabey colum for awhile. Sounds fun though! 101 along the canal is a great drive...

Consider around the loop. Long day but, some great roads.

Dave

Posted by: ablose58 Jul 22 2006, 11:42 PM

OK, Let's do the loop as dave suggests I will let you all know where to meet up at later in the week unless someone has a good suggestion?? AL

You probably need an early start. It's a long way around. Look at a map. You might get a chance to stop and see John Kelly. Klalock is really cool. Good twisties up by the Straights.

Definitely a long day - did the Aberdeen to Port Townsend leg in about 4 hours beating feet a few weeks back. Busted a CV the next morning - still need to get on that. Absolutely gorgeous scenery - couldn't believe how much forest is out there. Crystal Lake is pristine. Would have liked to make time to see Hurricaine Ridge, but was trying to make a B&B by sundown.

What's the new route?

Posted by: DNHunt Jul 27 2006, 04:48 PM

New route. The area in the hook of Hood Canal has plenty of twisties. This is much more manageable with some time to rest the butt. Great scenery. Hoodsport has a winery. Maybe some Hood Canal oysters for a snack somewhere. And there are plenty of neat little side trips if we get a wild hair to take a flyer.

Nice pics Gerry and Dave. Thanks

Hannah and I had a great time. Had to take her across the narrows bridge on the way back (she asked that I never do that again).

Thanks again for the lunch Al. It was a pleasure meeting Jennifer.

On a side note - my wife agrees that my tailpipe sticks out too far.
I guess I have this to look forward to.

Posted by: ablose58 Aug 6 2006, 11:24 PM

Sorry for the late reply but Jennifer and I were out wilderness backpacking and she just lefy Seattle to go back to Allentown ,PA. She said she had a ball, and thought you guys and gals were great Again my sincerest thanks to all who showed up and we'll have to do it again sometime soon AL
