Thumbs up Heads Up - Part 2

Now you see why that some "flight planning" is necessary even on road trips.
Anyone check the weather reports (on both sides....Vancouver/Richmond as well as Seattle) yet?

Weather Forecast - Vancouver: Vancouver, British Columbia - 7 Day Forecast - Environment Canada

Weather Forecast - Seattle: Seattle, WA (98104) Weather - Forecasts, Radar Maps, Video, and News

Looks like we have fair weather in our favor for tomorrow!
Wake up early and shine! See you over the other side guys.

Suggestion

Been thinking about it and would like to toss a suggestion since we are driving all the way down to Everett. We can all meet much earlier (9:15AM @ Chevron) and do a leisurely drive through Chuckanut Drive on our way to the meet.

Here's some information for you to read:

Chuckanut Drive

Chuckanut Drive - Chuckanut Manor & Oyster Bar Information - Larrabee State Park

Chuckanut Drive

Washington State Tourism Chuckanut Drive

If you are interested, let me know. I guarantee you this will make the trip down much more worthwhile.

Doesn't really matter Scorpmatt...border traffic during weekends are brutal. Am now moving up my departure.

Going for breakfast after crossing the border.

I might even do the Chuckanut Drive on the way down to kill time.
Maybe breakfast at La Conner.

I printed 3 extra copies. I guess I will give u one & one for feifei if he's showing up. I gotta find some AA batteries for the FRS radio too!

Guiness: Yeah no problem. It'll be easier that way to meet at the Chevron station over at truck x-ing anyway.

Fitster: U gonna head down to the gas station yourself or u gonna meet up with me somewhere in Rmd? Pls call or SMS me if u are planning to meet up with me in Rmd, tks!

Chevron Gas Station

Let's clarify that because there are 2 Chevron stations in Blaine; one at Peace Portal Drive (that's the one by the Peace Arch Crossing as you cross to the US side) and another at "H" Street near Cost Cutters supermarket after the Truck Crossing (straight down the road and LH turn on "H" Street).

So by Spoonek4's post....hope it is now clear that it will be the Chevron station on "H" Street.

Thank u sir. Yes I meant the Chevron station over on the truck crossing side, not the one over at Peace Arch.

Fitster: Oh ok then we will meet at the gas station after the border I guess.

IMPORTANT MSG:

Those who have two way Radio, please set the channel to 13 (Suggested by Fitster).

Beng, Le, and I will be at the Pacific X-ing Chevron @ from 10AM to 10:30AM. Please arrive no later than 10:30AM.

Once we assemble at the border, we will take I-5 to the Costco near Premium Outlet to buy BBQ supplies. ETA @ Silver Lake, 12:30PM.

If for whatever reason you will be late, please contact your regional Officer ASAP (Guinness - vancouver Area // Spoonek4 - Burnaby Area // Fitster - Coq Area // Beng - Richmond Area).

Get some rest and I'll see you all tmr~

well, I'm home now. Dropped by the park on the way back from Renton. Got there around 4:50pm, not a single Fit in the lot. So I guess you guys had left by then. Oh well, hope you had fun.
