I was wondering if anyone has a drive set up or would like to do so? Maybe we could drive around Cda lake? or anyother ideas. I think that it should be open to all kinds of cars. I just believe that it would be more fun with a large group.

 

I'd definitely be in. That's a beautiful drive around the lake, and lots of fun to. If I remember right, it's about 50 miles. Any chance of tossing in some other local twisties too? When I set stuff up, I generally target the 80-120 mile range.

 

I have not driven around the lake all the way, so if anyone else wants to throw in somewhere else to go. I will see if i cannot find some more to add to it.

 

hey kristopher_d I was wondering if there was some kind of program that you use to make maps for these trips?

 

Honestly, I've not found anything I really like, yet. Yahoo! maps is good, but a little slow, and I guess Google maps lets you add multiple way points too. I've used Streets and Trips as well. It's much faster than the online mapping systems, but still a bit of a pain. I used to use National Geographic's Topo! product, but since I've switched away from Windows, that's not an option for me. Realistically, I spend a lot of time with paper maps and my expensive book collection, and once I've identified the route, then I sit down and start plugging intersections into a program. Paper is still faster, for the most part. Of course, my newest computer is about 6 years old, so maybe one of those quad core hyper threaded 64 bit jobs with 4GB of memory would make the difference, but even then, without a really big screen and really high resolution, you can look at a lot more paper at one time than you can computer images. If you want, I can go through my maps and such and give some ideas. I'm not real familiar with the area, so my guess regarding topology and terrain may not be the best.

 

ok so here is a rough draft of what I am thinking.

That looks like a good run to me.

 

this drive is where? and when? im pretty sure im in!

 

I'm not sure there's a when yet, but where = N. Idaho/E Washington

 

Ok now we need to decide when a good time to go would be. I am going to leave this one up to you guys since you are coming over here. Also we need to find more people to go. I will post this one on rx7club.

 

I'm already busy the 24th of this month, and 29th of next (probably the weekend of July 13th-15th as well). Really, whenever works for you.

 

im busy the weekend of the 13th as well so im with kristopher_d its up to you

 

Well what day of the week works better for you guys?

 

Probably Sunday. At well over the speed limit it was a 3.5 hour drive home from CdA 2 weeks ago. Saturday could work too, but I prefer being fresh for the fun driving. Either way, I'm probably camping Saturday night.

 

Well Sundays work better for me so lets pick a Sunday in July/early August?

 

I have pick the last sunday in july the 29th to do this. let me know if you are going by emailing me nemesis_audio@yahoo.com

 

I wont be able to make it that weekend (TWR's Freedom Run is that Sunday), but don't let that stop you.

 

ok lets change it to the weekend before that. the 22nd of july

 

Sounds good.

 

OK so we will meet up by the Exon Jiffy Stop @ 2105 4th St cda, id.
It is right off i-90 at 4th street exit. Gas is much cheaper there than in Spokane so I recommend filling up there =)

 

i'll see what i can do to meet you guys there too.

 

I am down with the 22nd... ****... maybe, I'll be in Portland the 20th, yeah I'll just hit it up on my way back! Hells yes!

 

We will be meeting in CDA at 10:30 and leaving at 11. I will be leaving Spokane valley at 10 if anyone wants to meet up here and head out.

 

Coming up this sunday hope to see you all there.

 

I'm heading out now. If I haven't shown up by 11, please give me a buzz.
