July 29, 200421 yr Wow, 6:00 am is some early time, you gotta pay to play I guess. I would like to be part of the early group to help set up, so I can say I did something. More info would be good, PM?
July 29, 200421 yr It takes about 2.5/3 hours to get down there. If I wasn't driving the motorhome, I would go through Randle via highway 12 and then straight south through the woods to Hood River, we came back that way last year and it was fun. Zap, Qman, do you use CB or FRS radios?
July 29, 200421 yr We're gonna get a bunch of compatible two-ways. Cheap motorolas or something. (a whole different post I'll stat up when I'm back in Seattle in about a week) We also have cell phones, they work the best. As for more details about a caravan with Ken and I, I will also start up a thread about that with about 2 weeks to go till the meet. We'd love to have you along Scoob, more help the better.
July 29, 200421 yr I'll be leaving Olympia Friday morning. Not sure what time but might be a similar schedule to Zap's. I'm driving the motorhome so probably won't drive over 60/65, not sure if anybody wants to drive that slow.Are you kidding???? This is a subaru show you're headed to. We barelly do 60 down-hill with a tail wind! I'd love to hook up with one of those groups .... That 6am sounds like a real killer though.... Anybody still down for that Noonish departure time??? I'm Seattle local, can do Southcenter, or Tacoma... It does not matter.
July 30, 200421 yr you'd think that Hood river was this wkend...everybody is pumped..... don't worry there will be more news on the friday noon departure ...i know there will be a few of us hitting the road at noon /southcenter... sparkster
July 30, 200421 yr Well, I'm going to be hard pressed to get the kids and wife up and at em by 6am, let alone me. I just might take an extra day off (Thurs) so I can get to bed early. Yea right, like I'm gonna sleep
July 31, 200421 yr if you guys(well some of you) are meeting at 12 or something in seattle then i might be able to join your caravan... i dunno though... depends on how fast my 79 will go... but ya... you guys are talking about meeting on the the friday right??? thanks all

August 14, 200421 yr hey..:cool: WERE STILL LOOKING FOR MORE PEOPLE FOR THE NOON CARIVAN FROM SOUTHCENTER ON THE 27TH.......SPARKSTER I am not 100% sure whats gonna happen.. but count me in on that one....
August 14, 200421 yr Author Sooo... Money is gonna be SOOO tight for me to drag one of my delapitated cars down to hood river... With the legacy's frying an alternator and having just replaced it and having to replace the battery and replacing the muffler! Totally running out of money 150$ for a rebuilt alt 300 from the stealership and 75$ from the auto recking. It would be 13.00 if it was at pap!!! Guess I might just have to go in the wagon
August 18, 200421 yr Gee Matt, sorry I didn't hear about you alternator problem, I think I have one around here that would work, but I'm probably too late. I'll probably be leaving somewhere in between Matt's group and Zap and Qman, probably be leaving my place around 7 AM, that should put me in Hood River hopefully around noon (us old guys need to stop more often then the younger guys and I wouldn't want to hold anyone up). I've got Zap's and Qman's cell numbers, could I get one from the nooner group so if I get in trouble along the way, I can call someone and maybe they can help me out?

Hrm everyone seems to want to leave earlier? I will be taking friday sat sunday and monday off so I guess we can leave whenever if I am whats making everyone meet at 12. Meeting at 7:30am would be fine with me as well, beat alot of traffic... I did go out and buy a remaned alternator from action auto for 150$ but its got a lifetime warranty so thats good. But it also might screw plans up for people who won't be checking this post again and show up at 12 and wonder where the heck everyone is.
August 18, 200421 yr Author Ok SOO... I counted all the "I'll be theres" and the "can I meet up with the caravan somewhere cause i'm too far away from southcenters" lol. We got. Me (der.) Sparkster. 84 scoobaroo but he sounds like he wants to leave earlier now. Ratty2Austin confused about what hes bringing. Turbone wanting to leave earlier or meet us up at tacoma mall? Baccaruda wanting to maybe meet us somewhere? All Talk wanting to meet us somewhere? Subaru 420 can meet us at southcenter Zefy wondering if his 79 can go fast enough to meet us at southcenter in time for the caravan. Maybe next week we can all swap cell #s or something and be able to meet up with people along the way. Seems like a kinda small caravan right now but I know of a few more people coming. Or maybe we could scrap this and join the eariler caravan instead. :-\
August 19, 200421 yr I'm going to try and leave with the early group. Maybe I'll have the wife and kids meet up with you guys later J/K
August 21, 200421 yr I plan on leaving with the early group, Ill send out some pm's later. i need to get some sleep. I dont need sleep
August 21, 200421 yr Subaru 420 can meet us at southcenter Sorry... Familly is coming into town that weekend. And I have to cancel... TAKE LOTS OF PICS... I wanna see what I'm missing
August 21, 200421 yr Author Well poopy... Might as well just leave with the early people. Or else it would just be me and sparkster! How many people estimated for the early caravan?
August 21, 200421 yr i think ive heard something like 20+ cars or something liek that....but i dont really know if thats right or not
