Whibey Island tour. This one comes straight out of the Destination Highways book. It'll require lots of road changes, so I'll make copies of the map and directions. Also, remember your two-way radios. I think the bes rally point would be the parking lot next to Deception Pass.

 

I love deception pass! The view is incredible! And of course, that weekend is my reserve weekend...so even if the doc says I can drive, I'll be working....AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

I'm just dying to have fun with my car...I can tell it's mad at me for just making it sit in the driveway not getting driven.

 

I'm trying to keep my schedule booked, so I'll be posting up drives on a regular basis. N Cascades just opened this morning, so that's going on the list soon. I've plenty of material to be scheduling a drive a weekend. That may get a little expensive, but that's what I'm shooting for.

 

maaaaaaaaan.....I always work saturdays...

 

Im in Kris. I'll bring my radio I use for snowboarding. What time for the meet up?
Im coming from Sammamish, you want to meet in Redmond so I can follow you? Im not too familiar with that area.

 

Yeah, a Redmond meet will work. Unless you come in 202, you go right past my apartment.

 

I come down from the plateau onto 202 to get into Redmond.

 

anyone mind extending an invitation to a S2K owner, or 350Z owner?

 

My feeling is always "the more the merrier".

 

I kind of think we could invite one or the other, but not both. We don't want to many pistons hanging out. Actually, I've been wanting to play with both, but no body I've met on the roads has been up for it. So, please come.

 

I have a map, but it's a 6+ MB pdf.

BTW, I'm thinking an 11:00 meet time.

 

i love the whidbey island drive! i drove through deception pass and i also took the ferry from mukilteo. i drove there like 4 times in 1 month to pick up my brother-in-law. lots of good views from there!

 

More details??

Next Saturday at 11:00 AM....

 

Damn it, where'd my post go?

Yes, Saturday, the 19th at 11:00 in the parking lot on the island side of Deception Pass. I've not been up there i years, so someone more familiar with the area should chime in. For those down this way, we could meet up somewhere near by around 09:30. There are lots of big empty parking lots on saturday mornings.

 

ah crap i gotta work!

take some nice pics guys!

 

Sounds good.

Where do the Eastsiders (Redmond/Bellevue/Issaquah/Samm.) want to meet for the drive up?
I think right now its just you and me Kris. Just name a place Im sure I know where it is.

 

Well, hell. I guess the best place would be the Fred Meyer/Home Depot parking lot, as far from the buildings as possible. Nice and big, close the freeway, usually empty.

 

works for me.

 

need more details ... time and place

 

What other details would you like.

 

is anyone meeting in the south end befor

 

well, for me, fred meyers and home depot are a ways away. are we talking tacoma, kent, seattle? taking I-5 north. where are we talking?

 

So, head count?

 

Allright. I tried to break the file up into pieces, but a 200K limit for PDF's is too small even if I were to do seperate pages. So instead, I'm going to post the map at my msn communities site and link to it I'll have it up in a just a little bit. It's a bit of a complicated drive, so I suggest you pring a copy. Also, if you can wrangle up a navigator, it's probably a good idea for this one. The middle part of the drive has around 30 road changes in 40 miles. Things are especially complex around Penn Cove. Also, remember your two-way radios. I'm hoping to have a navigator myself tomorrow.

 

Me.

See ya tommorrow morning in the Fred Meyer Home Depot lot.
