July 8th, Portland to Seattle BBQ Bash Convoy!

[LowGo]

I thought I'd open a new thread concerning the convoy. So far, it looks like there will be 3 of us leaving the Shari's Restaurant on Airport Way in Portland at 11:00 on Saturday morning.

I was wondering if any of you Olympia, Tacoma, or anywhere south of Seattle folks would like to join up with us when we roll through your town? If so, let me know and we can make plans for a meeting location. Then, we can all arrive at Mike's abode in one big convoy!


Tentative Schedule as of 7/6 - All times estimated from Mapquest:

11:00 a.m. - Leave Shari's - MyMaggieMae, Inked*Gamer, BigBoy, TheKidWitThe300

12:15 p.m. - Exit 71 - Meet iRock and drive to Starbucks at Exit 79

12:45 p.m. - Leave Starbucks (without iRock )

1:35 p.m. - Hwy 512 (McDonalds, 10417 S Tacoma Way) - Meet Magnum Maniac, Slim's Magnum, SyNyStR

2:00 p.m. - Fife rest stop - Meet reppr/Momsrockinride

2:45 p.m. - Arrive at Butweet's for a fun evening!

MaggieMae,

Hey, I live in Maple Valley so I guess I could meet up with you guys at Highway 18 (Auburn exit)...

Sounds good! I'd have to check times, but I'm guessing we'd be there sometime around 1:30 p.m.

Don, sign me up for Portland Ave. off of I 5. Does that work?

[Slim]

Man, I am soooo jealous. I might just have to drive farther south before I drive back up to Mikes.

[Slim]

Hey I was thinking Portland Ave., but I could meet you there if you want.

[Slim]

Ok, as long as Leesa doesn't give me the 'ol rolling eyes. We'll have to find out what time Don thinks he will be arriving in South Tacoma.

K, well let me know, you have my cell #. I would say we could catch lunch, but we are saving our appetite for Mike & Kathy's good ol' home cookin'!!

Yeah buddy! I am saving my appetite that day. Soon as Don chimes in with an eta we can work it out. We can sit on an onramp and ambush em, hahahaha

LOL, sounds good. We might not see him behind a Honda or something, seeing as how he is so low now!!

[Slim]

Yeah, I can't believe it. His AWD will make my RWD look like an AWD

[SmoovC]

LOL, we will get some KW's on there when you are ready.....

[LowGo]

Excuse me... I'm not interrupting anything, am I?

I will have to check with Mapquest or my GPS to see what the estimated times would be. All I know is if we drive straight through at the speed limit (or slightly above), it should take about 3 hours to get to Mikes.

I only know where Portland Ave is in Portland. Where does it cross I5 up there?

This could really be fun!
