Canuck Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 It's been a busy few days chatting with the restaurant and hotel to get the last few items straight. I'll be needing a stiff drink when I get to Oregon on Thursday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chevyss Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Car is clean, packing tomorrow, load car on Wednesday, and leave mid morning Thursday. Dave and Red, have a very safe trip. Looking forward to meeting everyone. First Monte meet I've ever made. Please don't let anything go wrong. We had a scare on Thursday last w/Mother-in-law. She fell twice in one day. She's 99 and still lives alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72-CLASSIC_RIDE Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Have a safe & uneventful ride up I-5 Dave. Looking forward to meeting you & Red at the Meet. I am heading out Thursday also. Plan on hooking up with the Norwesters Caravan around Troutdale and tailing along with them. Gonna be a real treat seeing all those Montes cruising up the Gorge! Hope I got enuff storage capacity for the camera. Til then...... Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72MC Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Wish I could tell you guys I was packed and ready to make the 2838 mile trip to the meet as I would love to be there, but... I probably wouldn't make it there until after it was over. I am just getting ready to see all the fun everyone is having on the club site so post pics and updates often. - Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Hey Dave, we'd love to have you. Is it the drag tires on the roof that slow you down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72MC Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Yes Aaron, they're like a ship sail . My gas mileage to the EM was terrible and I think that was the reason. Normally I get 10 on the highway. This EM I got 8 miles to the gallon . - Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Yikes! I'm about 19-20 mpg on the highway (US gallons). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGD72Monte Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 That's good mileage Aaron, I can get a little over 18, but you got to like those Canadian gallons for 22+ or should I say 12.6L/100km . Too bad they are more expensive . Anyway, on a more relevant note, I got Friday off, so I plan to be there . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad they are more expensive . Anyway, on a more relevant note, I got Friday off, so I plan to be there . Using Canadian gallons, I get between 23-24 MPG on the highway. Good to hear you got the day off mark. I will see you Friday. I'm all packed and ready to go. April, the kids and I are leaving for my parents' house Langley (Vancouver, BC area) tomorrow which about a 4 hour drive. I then head straight South on my trek to The Dalles. Tacoma is where the meet will truly begin as a bunch of us will meet up there for the rest of the journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo's70MCs Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Doesn't look good for me this year. I wish I were going but work schedule does not allow it, perhaps next year guys. Anyhow enjoy the time together. Take plenty of pictures cause I'll be missing our biggest Western Meet yet. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
