if you come up bring me some elk burger frozen i'll bring a cooler to keep it in til i get home

All; a little heads up on the artist point hyway. I was up there last sat and there was about 14 miles of fresh chip seal (around maple falls). we got thru (on motorcycles) and it was just dusty, not oily. not sure if they are planning any more of that this week. just didn't want anybody to be surprised by it.

....ill try.. ....careful go n north of marysville guys theres WSP in airplanes and they have some fancy new toys there just itch n to try out to

Mike

that must have been a long 14 miles. x2?

This sounds like a good idea, I'll be there at 3:00.

Ok 3:00 pm is good!

Nothing more I would like to do than honor Nord and see all you guys but I have the car on stands and changing my 1.7 HE's for 2.0. Also I am supposed to pick up the new, ready for it....Triad exhaust from Dave Saturday. Guess how long Ive been waiting and how many calls Ive made with him.
Unless something amazing happens, have a great time!
Troy, try not to do a 180 in front of a fat loud mouth bizzatch in a van this time

that was ALL my bad. replay aint gonna happen haulling rich with me

Hey Rocky, while you're there and have Dave cornered will you make him call me please?!? I need the hanging brace for his 4into1 headers/muffler system that I have! I traded phone messages with him and haven't heard back (shocker!)
I'd love you forever...

Will do Chris! I'm giving it 50/50 this happens Saturday.
Did you already pay for it?

Bought it used. Just need to know if he has the bracket available to buy. This is my second Triad, had Dave install my first, you're gonna love it!

My brother can't make it so I'm driving solo. Leaving from Kent if anyone wants a ride. Heading back home after the bbq

It's shaping up to be a good turn-out!! I'm looking forward to this!!

well the pos started and is running, i'll put fresh fuel in tomorrow and make a hot lap to make sure it holds together.


Rich get ready for a ride

I'll be late, but I'll make some of the drive. Leaving Seattle at 1630, probably hit Chuckanut around 1900. I'll be driving the opposite direction when you're coming back down.

I'm assuming Chuckanut to B'ham/Ferndale, then 542 east?

Im out sorry fella`s I really wanted to go to, someone bring a picture of Nord with um and drive it up the hill have fun B safe

MikeC

Hey we're you handing out crying towels for the guys who could make it?

I cant tell if thats funny or not which is funny ,I didnt think billy had a mean bone in his body

Mike

Think blackberry pie ala mode' and the funny guy in the other room

I'm super excited for tomorrow. Those who are coming, you can park anywhere it's convenient since we'll probably be the only folks in the business park Sat afternoon. Double park triple park, it doesn't matter. 914 or not; just come.

I'll have the grub ready by 4pm. I plan on having a cooler stocked with bottled water & some sodas.

If you need to gas-up, the Chevron station at the Swinomish Casino just on the opposite side of the hwy has the cheapest gas in Anacortes (currently $2.35 for Regular). Costco in Burlington is usually about 2-5 cents cheaper (I-5 exit 229 George Hopper Rd.)

When we depart around 5:30, the route we'll be taking is as follows:

hwy-20E, Bayview Edison Rd N., Farm to Market Rd N., W. Bow Hill Rd., Chuckanut Dr. N.(hwy 11), I-5N, take exit 255 onto hwy 542 East (Mt Baker hwy) follow that to Deming where we'll meet the members of the Chuckanut Sports Car Club. From there it's twisty road up about 4500' in elevation gain to spectacular views of Mt Baker and Mt Shuksan.

Nord on far right next to his silver 914. RIP my friend. . .

Gas up at Costco before going to annecortes. iirc it's the same exit off I-5 you would take going to nate's. Perhaps the next one up but close. Nicely topped off you can make it back south without stopping. Be careful. I-5 is a WSP gauntlet all the way home. Please don't drink.

I'm in! I wasn't going to since my trunk bolt sheared off so I'm rear deckless, but such a nice drive with such good people, who cares about the trunk. I'll be there with my wife Mary Anne.

So do we have a meet up place and time determined?

they were both good.and the old bitty at the end of the bar was roll n

Yes 128th exit chevron off I5 at 3:00pm. 214 128th Ave Sw Everett, WA 98204. Take the 128th exit just before you come into Everett, turn left go over the freeway west and the Chevron's on the left just past Denny's.

If you're coming up 405, we could meet at the Houghton park and ride in Kirkland. It's just off the 70th St exit. Figure we'd need another half hour to get to Everett.

Sounds good

I'm going to miss the Everett meet-up. See you all at Nate's!

3:15 and the BBQ is in work. . .

A great time was had by all yesterday (and last night), we got home at 1:00

Outside of the traffic getting through Everett Janet and myself could not have had a better time.

Nate put on a great BBQ for us, we had an exhilarating drive up the mountain once we got past a couple of slow pokes.

Standing on top a guy pulls up in a BMW Z3 and asks what's going on? I said we are doing a Memorial run for a buddy of ours. I told him how Nord use to organize a breakfast and then a run up the mountain each year, I said he meant a lot to all of us and we are not going to forget him.

Nate thanks for putting this together and making it special for all of us!

Sorry I missed it but my ride wasn't running till 6pm. Nate your the best for doing this! Nice to see the General came out, Marty would have loved to meet her!

Sorry I missed it. Was looking forward to it but my schedule changed for the worse. Thanks for the invite.

Rocky, did you install the triad at the shop?

What a great drive. Thanks Nate for organizing and hosting us all for some food! It was great to see everyone and meet some new folks.

No, I do all my own wrenching

Beautiful picture!!!

Brad's car really pops in that light.

I wish I could claim I knew enough about photography to suggest that I could do that on purpose!

Oh...appearently traffic was swell.

Great pic Brad. Guess we can see why they call it Artist Point. Thanks to Nate for putting this together.

Here's to Nord

Thanks to all for coming out and supporting the Nord Memorial run to Artist Point. We were blessed with perfect weather and arguably the best group of 914 folks anywhere (and that even includes Greenie! ).

I'll post up a couple photos when I get home tonight.

Kev, where were you bro?? I had half assumed that if you make 1/3 of the posts in an event thread, you would make an appearance. . . Next time take the train to MV and I'll pick you up!!

I had to go to a wedding. Sort of last minute. They wanted to get hitched before the baby was born. My idea of buying them a box of rubbers as a gift didn't go over too well. $20 gift certificate for babies-r-us is what they got.
