My ETA to Yreka is showing 1030, so looks like I'll miss you guys. Do you have any scheduled stops during the day?

Portland is the next stop at around 2:30-3ish.

Okay I'm in range of that. Can you let me know the address and I'll go there. Sorry for any errors as I dictated

I smell swamp ass making its way north lol
Hopefully I can join you guys! I'm doing a last minute seat install.

I was boiling on the highway and getting bored of driving so I took the 299 from Redding to the coast. Big mistake if anyone else is thinking of that detour, they're reshaping the road and have you stopped for 30 minutes 3 separate times while they let cars coming the other way pass.

[AbeSonic]

Hey guy change of plan. Since traffic is sucking balls right now us Portland people have decided to change out rendezvous point.

We'll meet up in Woodland exit 21. From the exit you'll come to a light, go left and then a right at the second light and Safeway will be up the road about a mile. They have fuel as well.

This is instead of Home Depot? I had to drop to surface roads cuz the traffic and about 25min to the Home Depot

On my way to woodland

Bummed I'm missing it (again). We'll be camping this weekend.

On the plus side, the boys are getting older, and they dig the E30 (they actually told me, verbatim, that I should enter it in car shows, lol). Also, I officially have the wife's approval to put whatever motor in the car I like, which if only symbolic, makes me feel pretty good about the E30. So hopefully by the time that is done, I'll be back at the picnic.

Seeing how big it's grown is crazy. A few of us remember when it was just a handful of cars showing up at a park somewhere in the Seattle area, with the subway sandwiches on a picnic table.. then we got kicked out by the fire marshal because there were too many cars, and now it's the biggest gathering of E30s in the world. Amazing.

Yes we're skipping the Home Depot stop. As we're in Vancouver and it would be kinda counter productive to head South into traffic, so we'll just head North instead and meet at Woodland.

Newcastle Beach Park is where it all started.

I was just talking to someone about that the other day. Bellevue Waterfront park. I remember the second year, we were already parking cars up the road coming into the park.
