August 2, 201015 yr Since I see the other threads popping up I figured I would make one. At this time I am only posting it on the USMB (not Nabisco ). Times at this point are approximate and open for discussion in here. Meet Friday morning at around 6AM in Troutdale at I-84 exit 17, Meet at McDonalds see google streetview for detail. Its just after Arbys and the now closed up former western store http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=45.545733,-122.397641&spn=0,0.006856&z=17&layer=c&cbll=45.544322,-122.398686&panoid=c2BXtD6_l6f-POXd9O1n2g&cbp=12,164.85,,0,5 Address to McDonalds: 1002 Northwest Frontage Road Troutdale, OR 97060-9534 Get Directions (503) 665-9455 We are planning to go West on I-84 North on 97, West on 82, briefly west on 90, More north on 97, East on 2 to the show (assuming the wildfires don't change our location or date) Speeds will be kept reasonable, likely no more than 5 over the limit (thats why this isnt posted on NASIOC:rolleyes:) We will probably make a gas stop somewhere around Yakima or Ellensburg (whichever is cheaper) then if needed get some last minute supplies either near the show, or in Levenworth or Wenatchee if needed. This can be discussed later if needed. Who is in?? We should be there early to get good camping spots near when the gates are opening (I myself am going to the Canadian end, if you are early and want the quiet end, this is your chance to get a nice quiet spot) In so far: - Flowmastered87GL - 92_rugby_subie - Scoobyclimbs - Cmiller - MrGlegacy ? - Sinbin and guest - Pooparu?? - NV Zeno meeting in Toppenish at "Dads" Edited August 19, 201015 yr by Flowmastered87GL

August 4, 201015 yr 6:00 am??? You're getting soft in your old age Mike. Didn't you me and GD leave for WCSS6 at like 4:00 am?
August 4, 201015 yr Author 6:00 am??? You're getting soft in your old age Mike. Didn't you me and GD leave for WCSS6 at like 4:00 am? Yes, but I think it was WCSS 5 :-\ The lame parking lot one in oak harbor. Had to get there early because it was just a car show and no camping fun If you need a ride from Idaho brad, post a thread for it... I bet a local to you would let you ride along, especially if you chip in afew bucks for gas money! (I assume you mean thumb up as trying to hitchhike to the show)

(I assume you mean thumb up as trying to hitchhike to the show) Yeah my girlfriend would kill me if I just chose to leave her behind (she has a job, I don't, haha) but yeah thumbs up for subaru love too haha WHOOP WHOOP, I don't think there is to many Idahoians on here, I have tried to find some fellow ea82'rs and nothing so far......besides that 1 dude with like 4 rxs and some other sick parts,but he never called back (I was gunna look for disc brake swap, maybe some new rims) but anywhooo, HAVE FUN, REPRESENT USMB YO! DON'T FORGET SOUVENIRS FOR YOUR FRIENDS haha -Nomad
August 5, 201015 yr The biggest "maybe" in the history of mankind. I might get in on this. I have nowhere near the $$$ to go. But I was told I could (I think I only got an OK cause she knows I can't afford it....). Lots of things happened this summer (good bad whatever) that sucked up the cash, so I gave up on WCSS this year. If I skip a car payment on the daily driver I can go.
August 5, 201015 yr Author You can ride along with me if you like, but you gotta have your own tent :-p
August 6, 201015 yr You can ride along with me if you like, but you gotta have your own tent :-p Aww come on! I don't smell too bad........ I promise, no spooning. No, if I can make it, it's with my Soob or nothing. I wont camp without it. It's become the central part of my camp spots. Almost more important to have it than a sleeping bag or tent. There was a family reunion with my Fiancee's family down in AZ the WCSS weekend. It was a camping trip. I said if we don't take the Soob I'm not going. Thought she'd kill me but she understood. She ended up not getting the time off for it anyway. So my pickyness became a non issue. Thanks for the offer though. (and I would have brought my own tent)
August 7, 201015 yr we would love to join you guys for the early-bird Friday if possible. 4am to 6am sounds great to use, my # 541 738-2967:)
August 8, 201015 yr I noticed tonight that the old western store with the anatomically correct horse in the parking lot in Troutdale is all closed off. I know it was mentioned as a meeting spot. Can't use it now. Just a heads up.
August 8, 201015 yr I thought you where in this group of the caravan, are you not going up on Friday morning? just call me Mike:banana:
