2010 Pacific North West Meet

[SynthDesign]

It's gettin to be that time of the year when you start plannin for the summer before it's gone.

I was thinkin we should start figuring out a meet for this year with enough time for everyone to plan.

I like the idea of starting somewhere around Neu's place in Oregon and heading north up I-5 and ending somewhere close to where we ended up last year by Petros' neck the woods.


Tentatively, maybe the first weekend in August, the 7th or 8th.


So lets hear what you think and who's in!

[Neu]

My birthday is the 6th, and Im' planning on a 2 day rafting trip.

Although next weekend or a weekend in the near future i could be up in seattle picking up a friend's car. He's having it shipped from hawaii.

I may ask to crash at your place synth, lol.

[SynthDesign]

So maybe another weekend. Good to start a tentative plan though.

Chad- Of course you can crash @my pad. You're welcome anytime.

[Petros]

we did It the 2nd week end in august last time, and that works for me. I have other plans the first week end in august 13-14-15th.

Also that is a long haul from Or to northern WA, we will not get a lot of off road driving done. It seems to me it would be better to pick an area where we spend the day. Not as many people would come if it was for more than a day I suspect too.

I'd be interested in attending a get together. There is an event in Seattle Aug 20-22 that I'd like to attend. That would be a great time for me.

I would come down and go for a ride, but we are expecting a baby that week. Its better earlier than later on my calendar.

Does Pacific Northwest include Western CanadaÉ

[Petros]

sure, why not? Anyone is welcome, even those from the east coast. I would not mind coming to a BC gathering either, but now I need a passport!

[SynthDesign]

The more the marrier!
I too would be down for a BC meet, but am also in need of renewing my passport.

[Neu]

I'd have to get mine O_o

[SynthDesign]

All right, I'm guessing most people have their summer quickly filling up. I say we pick a Sunday (2nd or 3rd week in Aug) and get a game plan together.

I think a meet up or combination of what we had last year would be great.

Ideas?

[Petros]

I like those dates. I think we should limit it to a one day event, not as many can come to multi day events. Or perhaps we can have an optional camping trip associated with it. I want to drive the Cascade loop, or perhasp the forest servcie road 15, Illaboot creek road. Fantastic North Cascades vistas. Or perhaps we can go somewhere south? Mt. Rainer Park? How about the Cascade Caves?

The second weekend in August would be better for me and my dad Logbear.

[Petros]

That would be the weekend of august 7 and 8? That works for me, or the one after.

[wmschaefer]

Would love to meet up with you folks, but the wife would kill me if I attempted the weekend of the 14th.
