I'm leaving my house at 8:30 - roughly in an hour - so if you want, PM me for details or my cell number.
Riverside Park sounds easy to find - the address is: Riverside Rd E & 78th St E, Sumner, WA 98390

First Post Back!
Great turnout!!!! And many of you took Kristopher's challenge to dress up very seriously! Nice looking gang 
I hope we get some good pics to share. Shaun, I think you had the British-super-spy thing goin' on for sure. Even little Kaitlyn was fancy!
Thanks again for the planning Kristopher, good job. It's so nice to be able to go fast and not have to worry about where to turn
It was my first time in the twisties with a passenger and it was great. Thanks to Pam (Mrs. Revlis) for being my co-pilot!
It was great seeing you again Darin and I'm really looking forward to seeing the pics you took. Bummer that you weren't able to go with us. We missed you and Mary and the kids.
Annibal - Looking dapper in your new suit dude! Thanks for coming out to see us off.
And, woohoo, Ryan you made it!
Nice to see all the new faces this time - hope to see you again! Krankor, CorranFox, Proxi and your brother, blue tool...
And a HUGE thanks to BunnyGirl for driving all the way up from Oregon to go with us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was so nice to meet you Tiffany!!!!!!!!
Happy Holidays! See you at the next meet!

RX8 and a Truk....

Hey guys - GREAT seeing you again, and meeting newbies! I have pics - but I've sized them wrong - when did the attachment limit drop to 145KB?? Lame...I'll look for an easy way to host 'em, then post them up.

LOL... I was just trying to find a way to fit everyone in the pic...lol But thanks.
I AM, however, going to start taking classes in March. I got Randy's Nikon D70 out and started playing with it, but it's too much for me to handle without some guidance. I tried to get Darin to give lessons....

Power!!
Great to see everyone and meet the new folks! I'm looking forward to the next drive. Kris I think we'll have to figure out how to fake out the rain. Maybe plan it for a Saturday and then secretly have the drive on Sunday so the rain will show up Saturday. A big round of applause for Kris for organizing a great drive and a great place to have lunch! We'll have to do some more meets at the XXX in the future.
Looking forward to seeing everyone and hopefully a few more next time!

Thanks, I appreciate the compliments. It's a labor of love. Some day I'll be in a position to do this stuff full time. Until then, I'll be happy dragging you folks out once a month. BTW, if that's not often enough, let me know 
Honestly, though, It's wonderful, from planning, researching, and occasionally scouting, to making the drive and hanging out with everyone, it's the highlight of my month. Trying to pick someplace new and a new way to get there, while moving the group around so everyone gets a run in there back-yard is a challenge I wouldn't give up for anything.
Enough sappy diatribe, here's the couple of pics I was satisfied with. I'm nowhere near the shutterbug that Darin and Volney are, but I did manage to capture Darin in his element.
I am looking for suggestions for where to go in January. Remember, last weekend of the month. You don't have to know of any roads, just suggest an area, and I'll find the roads, even if it means field research :D

Great pics, everyone! I particularly liked those up-on-high shots! I also like the diagonal picture, it makes us look like Batman villians.
It was great meeting everyone, I had a really great time (even if the driving was a little stressful for me), and look forward to doing another one of these in the future (though likely not January). If we go to the XXX again, someone remind me I want my root beer *without* ice.
Oh, and thanks again to Kris for organizing the whole thing!
