Een for those that don't have their cars running you should plan to come. Remember... 914s have two seats.

Not only that, we've tolerated non teeners since the beginning...the Pac NW is always worth the visit....might end up being my retirement home...maybe Sequim......

Sequim? Why not Port Orchard or Port Townsend? Sequim has one of the highest levels of rainfall in the entire state. It is a beautiful area though.... About 30 minutes from the rain forrest and all.

Yes, We do have an actual rain forrest that records the highest level of rainfall each year. One of the reasons people think it rains here all the time. Seattle isn't even close to the rain forrest though, and the average rainfall in Seattle isn't very high at all.

Actually Sequim is famous for having the *lowest* rainfall in the state and over 300 days of sunshine per year. It's in the "Olympic Shadow." Now go around to the other side of the mountain and you get rain forest with 144 inches per year. Ouch.

Hi Guys,

Just a little update on the first of two "Initial Planning Meetings"

I think Rhody Guy is a little premature on the "all figured out" statement.

We had Bill, Dave Hunt & Kevin in attendance today.

Some idea's kicked around...

We want a nice Seattle flavor to the event ,

Is a Serial Killer theme in poor taste? Rhody guy thought that Ted Bundy tried to lure girls into his 72 914 , i thought it was a bug? Maybe a tour of the Green River & if time permits a trip up to BC for a visit to the pig farm. Poor taste ?, I'm up in the air on this.

Another idea to appease So Cal 914 was to have the event in late July when the rain is at least warm. Any thoughts?

Bill thought maybe a nice drive around that mountain named after the beer would be fun?

We also wanted to make sure that the Orygun fellow that thought we were in the
" middle of nowhere" knows that we harbor no ill will.

We tried to create a little "Sites of Interest " guide for the folks driving through Orygun to Seattle.

We couldn't think of any although Dave said there is a really nice rest stop south of Eugene, and a lot of cows to see...

If Tuesdays meeting is half as productive as todays we are well on our way to a nice event

It's a tradeoff. July might provide the best weather in Seattle, but the drive up I5 from Bakersfield all the way into Oregon is likely to be well over 100 degrees. That's no fun in a 914.
Trying to avoid that hot drive by holding the event in May or Sept will increase the chances of rain in Seattle.
Either way, you'll lose a few potential attendees due to weather concerns (hot or rain).
My guess is you're better off to go for the good weather for Seattle.

Demick

P.S. I love Seattle in the summer. Spent a few summers there doing internships at Boeing when I was in college. This was back during the anti-California movement (got yelled at and flipped off plenty of times for having CA plates). Almost moved there after college. Haven't been back since 1991.

Let me know if you would like SchipperDesign (my wife's design firm) to come up with a logo to the meet in 2008. (They did the logo for 2007.) They can get you pricing for shirts, decals, etc. No cost for any of the design work.

Something during the summer school break would be great! Maybe all of the socal/zoni/desert peeps could put all of their cars on a carrier and meet them up here.

Maybe Tuesday night with so many showing up we can shore up a date? Post something on the site to let folks know. Earlier the better for planning.

Chris,

I'll bring a 3pin for you on Tuesday. You showing up?
