caught the 5:20 ferry out of bainbridge last saturday morning, then drove across the state and into idaho. met my two friends at a golf course north of coeurd'alene at 11:30. played my first 9 holes of golf in 5 years (they call me "ol' 4 putt"), then we headed down to a boat dock near wolf lodge bay and put the boat in the water. spent saturday and sunday night in a cabin on lake coeurd'alene, and all day sunday on the lake, drifting and swimming. drove to st. maries on the st. joe river on monday to see my grandma, then headed home. hit i-5 in spokane at 3:30, and drove onto the 8:10 ferry out of seattle. and that is with a stop for fish tacos in ellensburg. top off the whole way.
on hard, sustained right hand sweepers i end up laying down a smoke screen that would make an old tin can sailor proud. dino seems to think it is valve guides. makes sense. also notices some oil spray on the under side of the rain tray, though no big puddles, just wet. used maybe 1.5 quarts of oil in 700 plus miles. a great trip, and fun in the 914. driving it is way better than looking at it in the garage, lemmetellya. i hope no one minds me reambling about the trip; i thoght maybe some would like to hear about it. oh, between 28 and 31 mpg. not bad for a 1.7 liter with dual weber 34 icts, eh? |

Cool. Always fun to hear a trip report!
We just got back from Grants Pass Oregon, where we did lots of drifting and swimming too. The Rogue river is great for rafting. Also played eighteen holes.... but it was disc (frisbee) golf! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |
