After talking with everyone yesterday, it was clear that we've been traveling a bit far for our drives, especially given the weather. So for January I think we should mix it up a bit. I propose we travel the most nut ball route from one end of Lake Washington to the other.

I'd like some help figuring out which roads to include. I've several in mind, but not quite enough to make the whole rout interesting. If you have any ideas, please let me know. Even if they're a bit out of th way. General boundaries are the area surrounded by I-5 and I-405. We can fudge a bit though, if you know of REALLY good one just outside the lines. I've never been fond of coloring inside the lines any how. :p

On an older note, I've been adding our past drives to the-winding-road.com, for posterities sake. If you see an error, please let me know. Especially if you made a run and I somehow missed adding you to the list.

 

I'm in. It's the day before my birthday, and I can't think of any other way I would rather spend it! =)

 

I work on Mercer Island and often sneak onto East Mercer Way on my way home. Nothing else compares to this road for twisties. Maybe add as a mini-loop?

 

I'll be there for sure.

 

Me too!

 

count me in...looks like this one is going to be a good turnout as well.

 

flomulgator! you just spoiled my surprise. Now I really have to go scrambling.

 

I'm in for this one. My apologies for missing December's (was wiring up a house). Looked like a great turnout. See you in January. By the way, Kristopher, when you go to get your windows tinted let me know. We can go grab lunch somewhere (I live about 5 minutes from precision tint) and I also have a $25 off token for the window tint for you.

Cool. I'll be over there to talk with Dan and pick colors on Saturday. Then I'll be back to get the job done between Christmas and New Years.

 

Sorry! You asked for help figuring out which roads to include! I mean, uhh, it's crap!. It's filled with old people and kids in mustangs, and its a straight line with lots of stoplights!

 

Count me in for this drive. And if it falls on a day where my wife has a day-off from work, she'll come along too.

 

Well, we're up to 12 cars so far. Who else is going to join the fun?

 

I know a lady that lives a few miles a way that has a nearly identical-looking RX-8 to mine. I am intending to ask her to go, although she hasn't been home on any of the occasions I have had some extra time when I have gone past her house.

Meanwhile, Robbie swore up and down he's REALLY going to go with me this time. LOL!!!!

 

Cool, let us know what she says. Sounds like you might have more luck getting her to go than Robbie

 

Work permitting I'll try to make this one since it's so close

 

No kidding!!!

 

You better, or I'm coming over to beat you!!!!!

 

Promise?? woo hoo!

 

Ha, ha. Your address is still programmed into my navigation. LOL!!!

 

Ok, it's official. I'll be in Poland on that day. Have a good time without me!

 

Poland?!

 

I miss that road , use to do it in my RX-4 it was a blast. Watch out for MIPD there not very nice.

 

unfortunately it now has a lot of trees over it

Don't fret if your favorite back road is littered with the detritus of our recent blow. There's more than a month before we plan to wiggle our way through the middle of pugetopolis. That should be plenty of time for the various city maintenance departments and DOTs to get it cleaned up. If worse comes to worst, we may have to get a bit creative, that's all.

 

Yes, Poland.
