David Mau Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Follow Tacoma Mall Blvd until you get to Krispy Kreme (right near Sears). This is only about 2.5 miles from where I work - even less as the crow flies! Doing this caravan will be a blast and I hope I can make it on Thursday (currently planning on camping out at the ocean earlier in the week). If not, then I'll drive down to The Dalles by myself on Friday. Either way, though, I plan to get to the Western Meet! Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montecruiser Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Originally Posted By: Shadow Gray SS Sounds good to me. Why don't we just find something around our meeting location. Good idea.

About 8 to 10 bucks a plate. Is that too much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montecruiser Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Thursday??? I thought we were leaving on Friday. Ok, I just called Jake and he remembers me calling him and getting the same days off that he had. He has Thursday off so I must also. I gotta call the office tomorrow and make sure.

Shadow Gray SS Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 20 hours until Krispy Kreme!!! I decided to leave the trailer home and drive the Monte with the crew the whole way. Deb is gonna leave a little earlier and head to the campsite in the RV. We should catch her before Portland However, I did put a tuner on the Duramax...

72-CLASSIC_RIDE Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Hey guys, Just got computer back up and running! Red Aleret! Red Alert! Trying to firm up meeting location when passing thru Portland, Oregon Thursday on way to Western Meet. I had selected the Troutdale Travel Center located just off I-84 @ exsit 17. Some are aware from a previous post to this thread. What I need first is a confirmation someone had read this current post and can communicate to the group, specifically Aaron. If someone would contact me around Kalama, WA I can be at Troutdale before you arrive to meet up for the final leg. My Cell #971-227-8564 or Home #503-659-2293 is where I can be contacted. I will then leave for the hook up in Troutdale. Thanx for relaying my message to the appropriate members. I had planned on contacting Aaron earlier this date but as I have a TRACFONE, I forgot I can't call outside of US. So figured a message would do it. When I tried to type, the keyboard went nutz and sent me places I hadn't requested. So, just got new keyboard up and running. WHEW, cutting it very close here! Please advise receipt of this message and hope the communication is understandable enuff. Hope to see you guys in Portland, Oregon tomorrow. Drive Safe!

72-CLASSIC_RIDE Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Dave, Expecting the Norwest Caravan in Portland around 2:30 P.M. where I will hook up with them @ Troutdale for the final leg. Could be a close encounter! Glad your trip North was without incident. I'm sitting here going over my (things to take list) & think I am locked and loaded. Once the call comes in I will head out to Troutdale stopping just long enuff to grab a 24 oz. Mocha Frappe Freeze to ride shotgun. Say safe the final leg!

72-CLASSIC_RIDE Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Update on West Coast Caravan, Just talked with Montecruiser (Chris) around 1:15 P.M. Said they were just leaving Tacoma, WA. Got a late start as Shadowgray (Jake) experienced mechanical problem about 5:00 mins. after leaving his driveway. Solved it and in Tacoma another issue arose that needed attention. Latest is everything appears to be working and are on their way. A little additional time waiting to see if any others would arrive and then decided to head out for Portland and then the Dalles. The expectation was as many as 7 cars were going to meet in Tacoma, but just 3 arrived for the journey. Chis had no further info on the non-arrivals. So, the West Coast Caravan has been pared down to 3! Canuck (Aaron), Montecruiser (Chris) & ShadowgraySS (Jake). I will hook up with them in Portland for the final leg of the journey. Baring any further issues, they should arrive here sometime around 4:00 P.M. & into The Dalles likely by 6:00 to 6:30 P.M. Just around BEER:30 this Thursday! Will update any new valuable info as it arises until I get the call they are nearing Portland. So you guys who are staying behind or leaving later & our Easter Brothern wish us luck in finishing the journey without incident. As Rosanne Rosanna Danna so aptly put it, (it's always something)! Will post to General Forum so all will have the opportunity to root for us and send us good Carma! Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
