Date: Sunday, October 1st 2006, RAIN OR SHINE

Meeting Place: Burlington, WA. Cascade Mall parking lot, the southeast corner, sandwiched in between Sears and Macys in the mall, and Applebees kitty-corner in the lot. To get there, head towards Burlington. Coming north or south, you'll take Exit #230 and then an immediate right on SR20 - it'll say "Anacortes / Oak Harbor" on the sign. Go 3-4 blocks and stay in the right hand lane until you get to Burlington Blvd. You'll have a Shell station on your left and a Jack in the box straight ahead on the right side. Take a right turn, south onto Burlington Blvd. Count the stoplights - turn right on the third one, as you're passing Cascade mall, then an immediate left when the road "T"s, and park HERE.





General Info: Please be at the parking lot no later then 10:00 AM so those with cameras can snap some pics and everyone introduce each other & what not. Short and informal "driver's meeting" will be held once everyone's arrived, to go over the basics, make sure everyone's set as far as radios go, then we will head out towards Baker hopefully before 10:30.
-Bring an extra layer of clothes "just in case"
-There will be a $5.00 per car fee payable to the National Forest Service when we arrive near the ski area upper "Heather Meadows" lodge to proceed all the way to artist's point and to use the parking lots.
-a picnic lunch and plenty of water/drinks, not very many stores on the way up
-a Motorola Talkabout-style "FRS" radio that's capable of using the security codes - we will be on channel 07, code 04.

Rules: No overly aggressive driving will be tolerated - you will be asked to leave. We're a bunch of driving enthusiasts going out on a spirited drive, not a Gumball rally . I trust that everyone knows the difference between having fun and romping on it in the right places, and being plain dangerous or stupid. I'm young, but I've seen a LOT of asshattery on group drives, and I'm not going to tolerate it on this one. I want to have the atmosphere where you can bring your girlfriend (or wife and kids for that matter) and not have them feel endangered or scared.

Consider: Fuel past Bellingham is CRAP not to mention expensive. there IS a Shell station in Maple Falls, but prices there are usually ~50¢ higher than Seattle prices . There is a Chevron directly across from the Cascade Mall parking lot and you pass a Shell station at the intersection of SR20 and Burlington Boulevard just after you turn off I-5.

We'll all drive back and start splitting off whenever people have to head, but don't plan on being back in Burlington before 3pm. Some people have expressed interest in taking a detour on the way home and running the fabled, fun, twisty-yet-very-short Chuckanut Drive. Who knows... As long as everyone has fun, I'll be happy.

Let me know if you're planning on coming, what you'll be driving. Please list your 'real' name, the make & model of the car you'll be driving, and a short description. If I've already added you to the list, help me fill in the gaps - And check http://forums.clubsi.com/showflat.php?Number=7217155 for the most up-to-date info and "Who's Coming" list.

 

That sounds great. Count me in.

 

Since it's a Sunday, I'll definately be there, and I'll bring people! I'll also post this up on some other places I visit too!

 

I'm there.

 

You might not want to announce the channel you're using until people show up...just a thought.

 

also, not sure if you want to announce the exact route, you never know if an LEO is reading this.............

 

Hmmm any snow up at Baker beginning of OCT? I can see the scoobies not having a problem

 

Shouldn't be a problem that early, they usually don't get snow until first part of November.

 

maybe i can make it.

 

I'll try and make it. Gotta flex the S/C and see how it does on some hill climbs

 

You can update my name: Hiro I actually JUST read that little note at the bottom, haha.

 

Hey guys, the 350z ppl are planning to meet in Northgate around 8 am and then drive up to Burlington together. Feel free to join us.

*some ppl have voiced concern about the safety invovled with 60+ cars on this drive...we were thinking that it'd be a smart idea for the 350z/G35 crowd to stay together - that way we have a bit more control of who's around us...

Darn if it wasn't on a Sunday i'd be down, :-(

 

Change of plans, sorry, I wont be making it. I'll be hung over from 21 bday party (lol) and if I do do much, I'll be going to M's game most likely.

 

I wonder if the Z guys will show up. It seems like the Gs always outnumber the Z's for meets. You guys have a tighter community.
