If we can keep you here in the north a bit longer, its but a few weeks to Griot's and lunch with a bunch more NW SSRs !!! Why you might want to move into our Pacific Northwest to get out of the sunshine and heat of California!!!

Please let me know when you have registered so I can note that on our FANTASTIC post !


Sue (the assistant)

Sue,

We are also doing Penticton, I would have to move back to Sedro Wooley where I was born, to do all the events up that way.

Please check your calendar - Chelan to Coulee - May 14-15; Sue's Estate Sale, Bellevue, May 21-22; Griot's Garage and NW FANTASTIC FUN, May 28th -.... and Penticton, June 23-26; Peter & Cindy's BBQ, Sunday June 26th.............

Very funny Sue, only a select few would get your "inside"/"outside" reference. I was born in SW but we moved to CA when I was only 4 mos. old. I was too young to be diagnosed. Today, well let's just say I'm glad the "facility" is no longer open when I visit Sedro Woolley.

[tickledpink]

We still have a few reservations left for those of you who find yourselves craving an outing in the sunshine !!! Tom and Karen have mapped out an incredible adventure for everyone, and even shooed the critters off the IRON SEAT ROAD RUN !!!

Please PM me if there are any questions !

We are all set! We are leaving Redding on the 12th, spending the night in Bend OR, then heading to Chelan where we will stay at the Apple Inn
Friday nite. Have reservations for the Inn at Moses Lake for Saturday night. We are looking forward to meeting some of the PNW Bunch.

[Flassh]

Should have the new Nittos installed in time for our Spring Tour.

Just waiting for new TPMS sensors - the batteries on the original set were supposedly good for 6 - 7 years. It's been 6 years, so might as well start fresh.

Looking forward to running on round tires.

Also looking forward to meeting new Fanatics and renewing acquaintances with the old farts.


Well, old as in been around for a while.

[tickledpink]

Oh boy, Spring has almost sprung and our FANTASTICS are leaving their winter holes looking for their Sun Block and Sun Glasses!!!

A complete list of information and phone numbers for contact in Chelan will be sent as we near our BLAST OFF date.......... Can't wait for our first BIG AWAKENING on the road in 2011 and seeing new & familiar faces again !!! (See - I didn't say old....)

Any questions, please email or contact me -

May 14 & 15- NCW Geologic Tour and Iron Seat RallyJoin us for a 140 mile tour which starts in Chelan and follows the “other Columbia River Channel” formed during the Great Missoula Flood. The tour starts at 1pm Saturday May 14th at DON MORSE PARK, Lake Chelan and takes us to Grand Coulee Dam. After a break for some sightseeing, we’ll follow the former Columbia River channel past Steam Boat Rock State Park along Banks Lake. Then on to the dramatic Dry Falls State Park where 10,000 to 15,000 years ago, flood waters flowed over a falls 3 times higher than Niagara. From there we travel along the scenic channel to Soap Lake with the not yet completed 60’ lava lamp. We’ll finish around 6 pm in Moses Lake for dinner and dine together at a very nice waterfront seafood restaurant. Because of the length of the tour, you might consider staying Saturday night at Moses Lake near I-90 before your return trip to the Seattle area Sunday morning. You may also consider staying Saturday night at Ellensburg or Wenatchee. Some of the group will return to Chelan Saturday night to complete the trip for a total of 200 miles. Contact Skeet through the SSR Fanatic email system for complete details, maps, driving instructions, motel recommendations and phone numbers. If it is projected to rain that weekend, we will cancel the tour by Wednesday May 11 as this is a top down scenic tour.

There is still room for you to join up and enjoy the SSR FANTASTICS for another adventure........ I think we are all ready to DRIVE and have some good time fun while shaking the winter rust out of our limbs !!

Contact information will be sent regarding contact phone numbers and Friday arrivals for those who can come early. Tom & Karen have dinner reservations for a small group in Chelan !!

More soon !!

Lots of history with incredible photo ops along the way............ promises to be TOPLESS WEATHER as well !!

There is still time to join us and you know you are all welcome !!!
Don't forget your SunGlasses, Camera, and PERMAGRIN !!!

Should hit the road in about an hour - do we get to see all the secret engineering and paint projects, or are you driving it with the cover on?

We had the good, the bad, and (at least for me) the ugly.

Light rain mostly, some wind, some sun at the Grand Coulee Dam. Got a bunch of pictures to put up....

Last 100 miles to get home totally sucked in the pouring rain..

[hdflstf]

Thanks for setting his up. We need Sue to do here sun dance for the next one though.
It was nice to meet up with some of the PNW gang

[hdflstf]

A few more..

[tickledpink]

We appreciate you coming to join us - in the wild - crazy and not-so-pleasant weather/road conditions, but to be with the great NW SSR FANTASTICS and their commitment to our SSR functions - no matter what the weather is !

For Tom & Karen, I thank you for posting your photos...... they ran the course two times and wrote the Rally TURN-BY-TURN Info as a great team !!

We have started a new "Chelan to Coulee Photo Thread" to impress those who were unable to join the Iron Seat RUN Challenge and get them packed - ready for the next adventure on the table !! (Redding CA is ready to come back and join in our fun - I had NO IDEA they came our way north for just the Coulee Run with NW SSRs - WOW !!!)
