[SILINC3R]

does this mean your going?

[legacylok]

[92.Legacy.SS]

i wish i had friday off >:|

[subaru_styles]

can't wait!

[Florin1]

<---- Might be going. It wouldn't be till Saturday. Is a non legacy subaru allowed? >:-)
Oh and Im really pissed about the no fires rule. That's like one of the top 3 reasons camping is fun.

[kimokalihi]

Does that include grills?

[SILINC3R]

what no fire, that's kind of upsetting. I would assume grilling would be fine. what else would we eat, leaves and grass?

[cj91legss]

wow, so much for having fun.... no fires and no mud pit...

Almost want my 8 bucks back!

Anyways, just a few more days fellas!!!

[SILINC3R]

ok time for departure times.

kleinkid will be leaving from Oak Harbor with his entourage around 10AM. from there pressuming he is not taking a ferry he will be traveling on I5 South to Vancouver, Wa where he has a package to deliver. On the way south he will pass through Everrett where Mike-Tracey can start rolling. just south of Mike will be Lynnwood where Florin1 will be able to join if he his able to. from there they will roll through Seattle where i will join the fun. it is roughly 93 miles from Oak Harbor to Seattle, and accounting for set and drift and Seattle being noturious for having some form of traffic whenever it feels like the time should be about 1230. moving on down the line we will pick up Jake15, EJ KILLA and cj91legss from the Lakewood exit seeing as they are within spitting distance of each other. by the time we reach Olympia we should have grouped up if we missed each other some how. the last pick up is Kimokalihi from Exit 88. from there we have a nice drive toward Vancouver were when we near we will start heading towards WCSS on 205 and then on SR14. kleinkid and his group will deliver their important package as we continue on. the Oregan guys will probably already be at the campsite and getting us a nice spot to call home. that would be awesome since ya'll will be the closest.

Start: 10AM/Oak Harbor
Everett: 1130/61 miles
Lynnwood: Noon /75 miles
Seattle: 1230/93 miles
Lakewood: 1320/129 miles
Olympia: 1350 /150 miles
Ground Mound:1420 /167 miles
Salmon Creek I5 I205 split: 1600 /250 miles
Finish: 1650/295 miles

these times are produced with a 60 mph average and accounting for traffic which will occur somewhere. i am aware that 295/60= 4.916666 hours but again this is saying we do the exact speed limit. times should not increase from this as long as there are no major hold ups...traffic, late starting, hungry

Also please note this will only go smoothly if everyone makes sure their cars are buttoned up the night before and gased and waiting by I5 ready to go when the convoy rolls by. the convoy will not stop except for emergencies of course.

Florin1 I understand that you might not be able to come till Saturday but I went ahead and threw you in there.

if there are any problems that you see or you dont want to arrive this late let me know by tonight if possible so I can change things, kleinkid was the first one to throw a date out so that is where I started.

Tony-
looking forward to hangin and havin some brews with everyone

[kimokalihi]

I believe you meant to write Grand Mound on that times list. I got your number Tony so I'll text you mine in case we need to communicate.

[cj91legss]

Sounds good to me


Tony I'm going to text you so u have my number.

[kimokalihi]

Those times sound great to me. Told my friends and its good for them. Glad this is coming together well.

[kimokalihi]

I don't know if anyone would be interested but if you guys are hungry on the way down we could stop at exit 63 and get some pizza. A regular customer at my work gave me a buy one get one free large pizza at his pizza place in Toledo. It's 4 miles off I5. Just an idea and a way for me to use this card lol.

Sandy's Pizza
106 kellog way, toledo, wa 98591

[kleinkid]

Good logistical planning there Boatswain Mate, backbone of the Coast Guard.

I'll call(cell) you when we are rolling through south of Everett. We will be on channel 5 privacy 10 on the walkie talkies. You know how things go, the schedule will probably drift to the right.

[SILINC3R]

awesome John, oh and I finally got orders for Aviation mechanic school so no more BM duties for me yeaaaa.

[subaru_styles]

car getting all cleaned up and ready to go! gonna sit in the garage till friday though

[DevC]

Me and 2 or 3 other cars will be coming down from Kelowna leaving at 6pm or so and driving 8.5 hours there, so we will rolling in there probly just after most people have ptfo'd fri night.

[SILINC3R]

wow you y'all are leaving really late. work im guessing? anyway that will be a sweet drive. have a safe drive and look forward to seeing y'all

[kimokalihi]

I can already tell this year's show is gonna rock with the amount of people going this time.

[92.Legacy.SS]

yeah lucky you guys that can get there friday lol i wont be there till saturday morning lol

[kimokalihi]

Well, last year I got there friday and left saturday morning before the show so it can't be worse than that. Unless you were in that convoy that got rear ended.

[SILINC3R]

so tomorrow is the start of a big day. hope everyones vehicles are ready or getting ready to roll. kleinkid is going to call me when he hits south Everett and if i have your number ill text you then and also when i leave from Seattle.

[92.Legacy.SS]

[Danny-G]

[kimokalihi]
