I think with living in the seattle area, A mountain in the pictures would fit well

For meets I would recommend meeting someplace locally, then driving some good roads to a food destination. I used to do this quite a bit with a couple of motorcycle groups. We'd meet in Redmond, ride all of the good roads out to Carnation, eat lunch, then ride more good roads back home. There are some great roads between redmond and Carnation. Just my 2 cents.

Ok I just got my work schedule for May, Im working every freaking weeked Looks like the only time I can meet are monday's or tuesday's in the month of May...

Skinless, great idea... Can you put together a list of options for us - cool twisty scenic roads with good places to eat along the way?

And anyone else... ideas? See the list I started earlier....

I used to always take Fall City to 204th Place NE, right on NE Union Hill Road, Right on 238th Ave NE, Left on NE Union Hill Road, Left on NE Ames Lake Road, then follow that out to Carnation. Sometimes followed up by a ride to Snoqualmie Falls. However, I did a little searching today and found two great sites for good roads in Washington:

1. Alki on the east side, at the Don Armeni Boat Launch with the Seattle skyline in the background
2. Highbridge (is that the right name?) like our original plan discussed at Claim Jumper (before everyone started bailing on us )
3. Mt Rainier
4. Over Stevens Pass and back through Blewitt or Snoqualmie passes
5. Tacoma area (eat at dmp's place )
6. Cascade Loop - North Cascades Highway (20), then back on either Steven's, or Blewitt/Snoqualmie. Or even longer, back over Chinook or White pass through Rainier NP.

8.
9.

I like #5!! :D 'cept I only have seating for 4....including me

hehe

dmp

I wonder how many 8's we could fit into THIS frame...



:D

Skinless

Wow, that's a great picture. Where was that taken? It looks very professional.

05TiGr8Lady

Hey, I thought you said we'd do a BBQ in your yard!!?

It's your 8 in your yard, right...? We'll just party there...

[QUOTE=dmp]I got nothing that turned out great...but here they are:

dmp, What happened to the shot you took of all of us standing with our cars?

p.s. my brother likes the black/red shot so much he uses it for wallpaper...

dmp

Thanks... I snapped that gem on hwy 161, south of Graham, WA


yikes! No-no...I don't have a yard per se - we could do a bbq at 'TheHouse' where my wife and kids live.



The shot did NOT turn out - can't make out anyone's faces...lots of grain and harsh lighting.

05TiGr8Lady

LOL... We can do it where ever... just some place in Tacoma/so-end would work...


Oh bummer... I was hoping that shot worked...

I saw the version of it that blakew15 posted briefly - the one with you walking to your car to get in the shot, but it disappeared!!

kristopher_d

Darren, you need to enter the reflection shot in some photo contests. That's just plain sick.

kristopher_d

I guess I gotta put some time into my drive website. I've got lots of stuff to reccomend, but it takes too long to go through my notes right now.

05TiGr8Lady

Hey Kristopher, just give us your top 2 or 3, or even 1 for now!!

FABRO

yes that shot is quite sick, whoever owns that black rx-8 did a good job of keeping her clean.

05TiGr8Lady

blakew15

I'm not to blame for that one..

blakew15

I never had that shot, it was on FABRO's camera, I remember because he set it to auto and he didnt get to the car in time. I did snap another with his though..

dmp

Of COURSE not Blake...I had the camera set up improperly

05TiGr8Lady

That's so weird... I swore there was a pic posted of all the cars with us standing by them, and FABRO was by his car and dmp was walking toward his 8 with his back to the camera - his 8 was next to mine, so I know it was him. I thought that pic was part of the ones that you posted though... When I went back to look at it again, it was gone... Yeah, guess it must be FABRO's...

05TiGr8Lady

OK, I AM AN IDIOT..........

I found it.... It was FABRO's alright -- I was looking for a large pic and it was actually a thumbnail... Thanks Blake

blakew15

No problem. FABRO, do you have a larger version of that pic? it might be good if enlarged

FABRO

This is the best I can do, w/out it getting too blurry.
