PNW Picnic - SE Caravan

[Van Westervelt]

This was the route and about half of the stops we made. These are 90% of the fuel and food stops. I'd do it again. Maybe next year?! :)

Well, we have almost made it coast to coast. We are a few hours from Portland.

The reason for wanting to leave St. Louis at 6pm was to avoid hitting the large storm systems passing the area on Monday. We actually ended up hitting 3 storms, and getting some pretty bad hail damage. Luckily, or unlucky, is that it was all on the metal and the glass stayed intact.

Getting our e30s ready for the picnic in PDX the next 3 days.

Savannah Georgia to Portland Oregon with one hotel, 5 traffic halting storms and many bugs killed in one e30, and in less than 72 hours =)

So what do we get for furthest traveled? =)

[Hartge_H27]

hey i hope u guys made it ok.

It's $384 to fly from Miami to Seattle this week.

Cheaper than driving... pull the trigger.

[backtrail69]

I better see you up here Erick... I may even let you ride in the backseat of my turbo car. :razz:

[Van Westervelt]

Elliot and I just grabbed our one and only hotel for this trip up. Got caught in some nasty electrical storms around 3am. Had us parked for a few hours as you couldnt see a thing.

Wanted to have a mini-mob rollin into pdx. Ah well. Next year fellas. Erick and TJ, get your flights booked kids!

SLC tomorrow and then PDX sometime on Tuesday.

I have a pass seat open at the moment from PDX up to the Picnic.
