So those who didn't make it, maybe next
year, but it was hot, how hot you ask? It was a hundred and eleven degrees one day. Trip down and back was great cars ran fine no problems at all. We met up with the group at North Bend Washington McDonalds at 10 o'clock, Friday morning, and left from there. Unfortunately there was a bit of a mix up, and Glenn got separated from the group. I thought they were in front of me so I tried to catch them, but found out in the end they were behind me. We arrived and settled into the hotel, and made our way to the pool. Did I say it was hot? Man was it hot! We had our get together and party on the pool deck, till about 8 o'clock that night, and then went out for the light exhibition in the back parking lot. Lots of great ideas there, lots of great lights. Some stayed up to party some went to bed. Woke up the next morning had a wonderful breakfast, complimentary of the Shilo Inn. Then we proceeded down to Jefferson Park arriving at about 930 AM. We got parked, settled in, and started cleaning. They needed a judge for wheels, wheel wells, exhaust pipes and I got volunteered. It was fun, seeing all the different vehicles and what went into them. We had a wonderful day with friends new and old and had pizza for lunch. We went back to the hotel and hit the pool again, for some, others went on wine tours, or museums. 6 o'clock rolled around we all went back to Jefferson Park for the awards ceremony and for dinner. We all won something for going and it was great. Dinner consisted of barbecued chicken, ribs, delicious baked beans, salad, and drinks. After the awards ceremony we did our ice cream run. For those who have been on that you know what that means. For those who haven't, it is an accelerated fun point, to arrive at Baskin Robbins for ice cream and storytelling. We all made our way back to the hotel to the guest suite and enjoyed stories pictures drinks and good tales. Would I go again? Absolutely. Great fun, well planned, good friends. Maybe next year to those who didn't make it. Many thanks to the organisers. Edited by Fieroman88 |

Glad you made it home safely, Glenn,
Had a great time. Some really nice Fieros, as usual. It was HOT!!!! I'm thankful for air conditioning, swimming pools, and big bottles of Powerade available at Winco 24 hours a day for 68cents. Pictures will be posted soon. Edited by beken |

Yesterday on the way back, there was an accident or something that created a 2 mile traffic jam. It took us about 90 minutes to get through that and we still 20 miles out of Everett. Emergency vehicles and a helicopter were up front and after the helicopter flew off, traffic started to move again. As we approached Everett, a car got between Jon and I and I realized it was a police car. I saw the top of the computer screen, and something that looked like a light bar inside. I was not speeding and when the police car slowed down, I maintained my speed, but did not take off, the police car decided we were not racing or anything and finally turned off. I stopped at Costco for gas while Jonny decided to head home on his home. I hope he got home safely. Nearing Bellingham, the radio said the truck crossing was 45 minutes and Peace Arch was 15 minutes. All the cars in front of me headed for Peace Arch. I saw the highway overhead sign change the truck crossing to 15 minutes so I took the truck route. There were about 8 other collector cars there but the line was nowhere near even 10 minutes. I waited about 5 minutes. I was somewhat disappointed when all the CBA officer asked was how long I was in the US, and even though I had this big box in my passenger seat (I bought a compressor from Harbor Freight), he handed me back my passport and said have a good day. Due to the traffic jam in highway 2, I got home around 6:30. Edited by beken |

(and/or phone numbers). |
