jays55 Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Woohoo, love this trip planning! I was thinking of going from Bend down 97 to LaPine, take 31 to Lakeview and pick up 395 there. Really enjoyed 31 when I drove it last October. Open to Aaron's route, though. If you guys can plan an overnight in Bend, I envision a mini cruise-in / cookout at my house that evening
Canuck Posted January 9, 2012 Author Posted January 9, 2012 Woohoo, love this trip planning! I was thinking of going from Bend down 97 to LaPine, take 31 to Lakeview and pick up 395 there.

I also like the idea of the BBQ. I might have to start checking out the hotels in Bend.
jays55 Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 IMO, 97 from LaPine to Klamath Falls is a snoozer....plus there are a lot of semi trucks that use that two lane route (a bad combination). 31 is narrow, but no traffic.

Â Yeah, I'd rather cruise as a group with less traffic. And, who needs scenery when you have a Monte in your windsheild and in the rear view mirror.
Canuck Posted January 18, 2012 Author Posted January 18, 2012 I have updated the hotel information on the Western Meet page http://www.fgmcc.com/html/12meetwest.shtml
Canuck Posted January 21, 2012 Author Posted January 21, 2012 See some photos from last year here: http://www.nvshows.com/carson-city-events/sdcc/
Canuck Posted January 21, 2012 Author Posted January 21, 2012 I did not put it in the itinerary on the meet page but there is also a cruise on Thursday night (starts at 6pm) for those of us who are in town if we wish to attend.
Canuck Posted January 23, 2012 Author Posted January 23, 2012 I made a change to the itinerary for dinner on Saturday. The drive through Lake Tahoe State Park offers more scenery and should make for a nice drive.
Canuck Posted February 4, 2012 Author Posted February 4, 2012 6 Months until the meet! Â Â So far the attendance is looking like it will be great. We might even break a Western Meet record! Â
Montecruiser Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 I sure hope I can make it. I got a plan but it just got a little more complicated. If all goes right I'm hoping to make it to Penticton too!!
Chevyss Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 Hope we can all make it. I have a conflict for that weekend. NHRA meet at Pacific Raceway. Decisions, decisons, I hate it.
Canuck Posted March 3, 2012 Author Posted March 3, 2012 Only 5 months to go! Â It will be here before we know it. Really looking forward to this drive and going back to Carson City. Â I currently have a list of 28 members who are either confirmed as going or are seriously considering it. If you are planning to go to the meet but have not yet informed me, please let me know. Thanks! Â
Leghome Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Aaron where is the First Gen on the poster. LOL LOL
Vaughn Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Wow 28 members!!! That would be the biggest Western meet yet. I hope everyone has a good time.
72-CLASSIC_RIDE Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Just won't be the same without you guys Vaughn Hope to see you guys at the 2013 WM! Â Take care, Â Doug
Vaughn Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Very kind words Doug, thank you. We will sure miss being there with you all. 2013 WM for sure!!!!!!!!!!.
jays55 Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 Hmmmm, wonder if I'll get to all the improvement I planned to do after last years meet?
Canuck Posted May 4, 2012 Author Posted May 4, 2012 Hmmmm, wonder if I'll get to all the improvement I planned to do after last years meet? Â A year sure does go by quick, doesn't it.
Canuck Posted May 9, 2012 Author Posted May 9, 2012 I added a couple more names to the confirmed list this week.
