I received a nice phone call from Bob Opple, President of SSMC, this morning and I'm going to send him our proposed itinerary while we're in the Seattle area. Bob has a couple of different routes in mind for our trip from Sandpoint, Idaho, including one, that will take us down through Yakima where we can visit with Dough Dahlke and enjoy (and vote on) whether the Minor Burger is the best in the country/world. He has also suggested that we consider taking the ferry tour and crossing over to the peninsula side of Puget Sound which, I think, will put us in John Clear country. Bob tells me the riding up there is also spectacular. We're also trying to locate a centralized place where as many boat sailors as possible can gather for beverages, food, stories and a good time getting acquainted/reacquainted. More details later but it looks like our time in the Seattle area is going to exciting and memorable.
The photo was shamelessly stolen off of Don Gentry's BBS and was taken by Chief John Clear. Apparently that is a common view from his house. Must be nice; us flatlanders are envious.
What better place than the Horse& Cow if we're going to be on that side. They might even be able to do something for the group.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing. Might have to leave the bikes parked at a safe house if we do that though.
ReplyDeleteHorse and Cow in WA...I have BTDT! Went with John Clear, Ric Hedman and Don Gentry. A great meal and I remember writing my name above the urinal along with every one else too *_*
