we just did it on the 13th - where were you guys?

 

at our izzy's meet in feb. we decided on the 21st . no auto crosses, no mothersday, no memorial day. i wanted to yesterday, but the wife was off so we spent the day with the kids fishin and swimmin.

 

That's cool. You know the stretch of I5 South of Chehalis is now 60 MPH don't you? There were seven unmarked troopers pulling people over right and left. Watch your speed going down there.

 

its only 60 pretty much from river to river. then back to 70. thanks for the warning about the cops. last year we had no problems. but the year befor...... well we had one guy get pulled over by an impalla.

 

id be down for this meet but i just went with everyone on the 13th to st helens. fun drive but not something to do more than once in a week ya know.

is there anyway we can do a cost run instead. that would be more fun i think for people.

i dunno just a thought.

oh hey i just thought of something. they guys from Evolutionm.net are having a big meet and cruise on the 21st. and they are planning a st helens trip as well. maybe we could combine the forums and have a really nice evo / mazda meet. all the evo guys are really cool and up for some nice cars added to the mix, so it would just be up to the people in the mazda group as to whether they want to co-mingle or not.

if that sounds cool then let me know. and ill try to get the groups together.

they are planning to meet up in chehalis at 10 am and take a nice backroads drive around the mtn. and last i heard there is talk about having a BBQ and watnot after the drive.

 

Of course I'll be in Portland that weekend... But not with my car. That figures.

 

alright well forget the evo's meeting on teh 21st. too many of the guys over there want to keep it a small gathering up north adn they are saying that even though it would be coolt o have some various cars along. the trip is just gettign to be too big. oh well.

Thanks

 

is there anyway you can post of map of where the route is going. im kinda confused on a few things. such as, are there any portland area people driving up? and where about are they meeting and/or caravaning from? also where are you going to go in relation to mt st helens? johnson ridge... windy ridge... etc.

im just wondering cause if i go ill be coming from the portland area and i wanna make sure i know where you plan on having this thing.


sorry if you posted this stuff already, i just cant seem to find it on the thread.

 

the last 2 we had a couple oregon people drive up and meet us at exit 49 at noon. then wwe just drive all the way up to the top from there. stopping t a couple places on the way up. ye the far south people would plan together on where to meet up down in poortland or vancouver. but truthfully we don't have that many people down there that get active enough to do things like this. this trip was actually planned the first time to get them to do things with us. cause its almost in the middle.
