Hey everybody from Washington!

 

I'm going to be heading up through your wonderful state later this week, and I'm looking for people to see along my route. It looks like I'll be heading up from Astoria OR on Wednesday and going up the peninsula from there to Port Townsend, then taking the ferry across from there and going up to Bellingham on thursday or friday. So, if you happen to live along the way, I'd love to stop in and say hi. PM me with contact info if you're interested.

 

Also, if you happen to have a good used EA82 heater blower resistor pack, I'd like to pick one up on the way through.

Im in Bellingham I have a 90 loyale parts car your welcome to the resister thingo bob free

Well, you will bypassing the majority of people here in WA. Theres a couple of folks on the Pen, but they havent posted in months.

I might be a little out of the way in Bothell (just a couple minutes off Exit 26 of I-405) but feel free to stop by if you like. I'm pretty sure I have a resistor block for you in my "stash." PM me if you can stop by and I'll drop and address and 'phone number on you.

What the...........................well if ya break down in seattle contact me you allways have a place to crash kelly ..................spark

throw out an eta for bellingham... there's a few of us around here.

Are you heading to the penninsula via Tacoma and the Narrows Bridge, or will you take a ferry from Seattle or Edmonds?

 

If you'll be in Seattle, maybe we can all meet up somewhere. (my house) If you're headed out via the Narrows Bridge, you'll miss almost all of us till you get back to the mainland near B-ham.

Hey Scott and Ed, PM me with your address and phone number. I've got time for a detour to Bothell, or I could pick up the part in Bellingham, either way.

 

All I know for sure is that I need to get on the ferry in Bellingham on friday afternoon.

 

Zapar, if it looks like people would be free on thursday, I could totally get to your area and meet up. I'm not familiar with the area, and who lives where, etc, so if you could suggest something, I would appreciate it. I'm mainly trying to avoid I-5 since I'm riding a motorcycle (yes, I am getting Soob-withdrawals. I haven't seen any of my cars for almost two months now:( .) Currently, my plan is to head up 101 from OR, stop in S. Bend to see Soobmater, then go up the east side of the Peninsula through Shelton to Port Townsend and get on the ferry from there. However, if people are free in the Seattle area, I could just head up I-5. I went through there during rush hour after WCSS7 and the traffic was pretty bad, but if I knew somebody was going to be around, I would do it again.

 

So I guess what it come down to is who is free on thursday night?

Kelly, I hope you have your rain gear. Weather report for Wed. and Thurs. is for lots of rain.....and cold. I'll have to look at a map to see how you're coming. If you're taking the Pt. Townsend ferry to Keystone, you'll wind up on Whidbey Island. Head north from there and you'll eventually wind up just north of Mt. Vernon and continue north on I-5 to get to Bellingham. If instead you head south from Keystone you can take the Clinton/Mukilteo ferry and take a small detour south to Bothell. If you're coming through late after noon, you're invited for supper and if you don't mind sleeping in our RV, you're welcome to stay the night. An alternate route is to take route 104 just south of Pt. Townsend and head for the Kingston/Edmonds ferry and you'll be a tad closer to Bothell. You've got my 'phone number; we won't be insulted if you bypass Bothell and just head up to B'ham. Safe riding.

After this point, I doubt I'll be able to have computer access for the rest of the trip, so I'll stay in touch with Ed, Scott, and Clay, since I've got their phone numbers. I'm still open to venturing into Seattle if something's going on, so maybe give Ed a call or something.

 

I think I will take you up on that invite, Ed. After a long trip in the rain and sleeping in a tent, a warm dinner and an RV to sleep in is mighty tempting:) .

Ed's got my #. What time Thursday? I can throw a rock and hit I-5 from my house.

Suck him into a poker game, Zap. Kelly's a rube at poker.

Just heard from snowman by 'phone. He's in South Bend, WA and will be heading for the Kingston/Edmonds ferry and then slightly south to our house in Bothell. Let me know if you can make it and feel free to stop by after dinner and say hello.

What time Ed? I'll run up and say HI.

Say hi for me as well. Graveyard and social events don't mix well.

lol:lol: yeah, long trip...

 

The weather gods were angry with me this morning. I hadn't thought about it before, but hail hurts like a mofo at 50 mph! Anyway, I made it up to Ed's today, and I'll be heading to Bellingham tomorrow mid-day.

 

Sorry I missed you Clay. I was in South Bend, but I got in super-late last night and didn't want to bother you then.

 

Scott, I'll call you tomorrow before I get to Bellingham.

 

To everybody I missed, I'll see you at WCSS8!

Hopefully on 4 wheels instead of 2?

Pleasant evening last night with snowman and a few Board members coming by. I'll let snowman tell you about it when he gets home. He left for B'ham later this morning and hopes to be on the Alaska ferry to Haines by this evening. Three day ferry ride so it'll be a while before he gets to post.
