Is there a good place off of the 128th Street exit? It has been a while since I have been off the freeway in that area. What time are you guys planning on heading out? I will need to leave about an hour ahead of you to meet up.

I need to do some research. What are you driving up?

Greg_B · 08-08-05, 08:31 PM

Are all you Yanks just coming for the day...or are you going to camp out on Sat night, and do the trail ride on Sunday?

Dunno how many Coastal Cruisers are gonna camp either, however some exploring has been done in anticipation...

There is a camp fire ban that just came into effect...

Is "Yanks" a bad word?

Curious...cause it was not intended so...

"Question from a Canuck"!

Bull, driving up the 60. Didn't get a chance to do the wheel bearings or carb like I had hoped. Besides, it has A/C if it gets hot

.

If all else fails, we could meet up at the rest area past Alrington and Marysville.

bull · 08-09-05, 11:04 AM

Yank me!

. Oly I will send you aPM with contact info..Meeting up with the Seattle dudes tonight to discuss who is going...

GregB and Gar went to check out the trails today. Sounds like they found trails for novice/stock rigs as well as for more built/experienced drivers. I would imagine that they will post something up here or the Coastal Cruisers board later on.

We're planning to meet up at one of the camp sites on Chehalis Lake after the event on Saturday. Don't know yet how many of the locals will be camping Saturday night, but there will be some of us for sure. We will then wheel all day on Sunday, breaking up into groups who have similar vehicle/driver capability and then meeting up again in the evening. It's going to be fairly casual, and hopefully lots of fun. Mostly hoping to see lots of Cruisers there and meeting a bunch of you from MUD.

Greg_B · 08-10-05, 12:28 AM

Yup, a good day exploring for sure!

I am not going be able to lead a trail, tail gun, or camp out. I have been trying and trying to get my Satuday night shift covered, however it is not going to happen. If I am not up all night with calls I will show up in the morning...but with the way nightshifts have been lately...

We have a Coastal Cruiser meeting on Thursday night...more will be finalized then.

Deny · 08-10-05, 09:35 AM

I'll be camping and wheeling, though I am not local, but consider myself an ex-local! I'll probably end up doing some of the easy to mild trails, as I need to drive 14 hours home after wheeling. I can lead if nead be.
Cheers,
Deny

dieselDaryl · 08-11-05, 11:47 AM

It's a bit of a last minute decision, but it looks like a friend and I will be coming out from Edmonton. We'll leave after work on Friday and show up bright and early in the morning. Both of us have to be back for Monday so I think we'll have to pass on the trail rides on Sunday. But maybe we'll do a little bit of exploring on Saturday evening. I'm looking forward to seeing familiar faces as well as meeting new ones..

We're up for camping the Saturday night if there's room!

See you all there..

Daryl

P.S. If anyone needs anything Cruiser-expressed from Edmonton or area let me know ASAP..

bull · 08-12-05, 10:56 AM

Well we have 3 cruisers coming up from Washington state. Maybe more.

rodney FJ45
kelli FJ60
brandon FJ60

expat · 08-12-05, 01:45 PM

I can't come.

I just can't rationalize the day off of nightshift in a middle of a shutdown and the 5 hours travel each way (goverened by the ferries).

Oh well. Next year. Have fun.

Great! Looking forward to meeting you guys. Are you guys also wheeling with us on Sunday? How about Alan...is he coming up too?

Stone · 08-12-05, 02:41 PM

Well, tomorrow's the big day. I wonder who will be the one to take this home and put it up on their wall?

FJota · 08-12-05, 06:25 PM

I am coming out. I have been luking in the shadows for a while. Looking forward to meeting some of you and to check out some cool rides.

Thanks to Costal Crusiers for the effort in getting this show rolling again.

wussyPup · 08-13-05, 10:30 PM

Thanks to all who contributed to making this event happen. It was nice to meet some of you and to see all the great rigs. Too bad that I couldn't stay over for the camp out and trail rides.

Thanks, -Steve
