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.

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.

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.

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

Ok, after setting my brain straight, by the wife, 10th no go but 17th is good.
Marty can't make either though

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. . .

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.
NORD

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.
NORD

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.

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.
NORD

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
