Are you guys still shooting for a post Thanksgiving date on the Chuckanuk ride. I might be up for that depending on which day it ultimately ends up happening on... got some work related things to handle that weekend.
Theres also some big import meet up in Vancouver BC that weekend that some of the guys I work with were trying to get me to go to.

No Mohaj, we're looking towards THIS weekend, not after Thanksgiving.
That importfest show is on the 27th(thksgvn wkd), here's a link to check it out. Basically it's the biggest import show we get up in Vancouver and it costs $16.00 CDN if you use paypal. I :might: think about going.
I got my car yesterday. And mmm, can't wait to break it open on the country roads. C'mon any more takers? And for those unfamiliar with this nice drive here's some photos and where it is. Come, please.

I might be able to make it this Saturday, but I prolly wouldn't be able to get there before 11 or so, 'cause I'll be at a LAN party until midnight or later the night before. That, and the fact that it looks like it'll take 3+ hours or so just to get up there! How long does the drive take? It looks like its only ~40-50 miles long, but I suppose it depends on how much stuff you stop to look at...  Marty

Ok to Burlington Coat Factory, oh I mean Burlington  is ~220 Miles from Portland-ish, and that's about where it starts. The Chuckanut is 23 Miles long from what I've researched. I too plan on a later start, like noon/after noon. And theweathernetwork seems to point to only partly cloudy

Marty, it will take you 3-4 hours depending on traffic to get up to Burlington. Once there the Chuckanut drive really isn't that long, as Crispus said. One thing to consider, the later we go the more people are going to be out there. Passing lanes are pretty slim pickins. It's quite a nice drive though. I'm up for any time as the meeting point is 30-45 minutes from my house.
Who else is going?

It looks to be Goldenrod Rd, Burlington, WA 98233 for those needing an address for directions. 10am, I know is the prEfect time to be there, but that's kinda difficult. But I don't want to hold you guys up. I checked that I'm 70 miles away, so upto an hour, and can leave here by 11
If you plan on going back down it I can hit you guys up somwhere near the other end if need be?
