Nice work, Rick. I don't see anything wrong with the location or the date.
Thanks,

Good point Eric. I did see a sign. I think it said $4 per car.

Hey Steve

Thanks!

Hope we can get a good turn out. I'm working on another of our friends from up north(Hi Natalie

)

I'll post directions to the park if we all decide to go there. It's not too far off the freeway, but no one will ever find it on their own. BTW, there's lots of gas stations, grocery stores and burger joints in the area.

It looks good bro..Thanks for scouting the place.

Thanks Jay!
So, which car ya gonna show up in, the E500 or the E55? You need a co-driver so you can bring both

And maybe one more to bring the Audi

BTW, I'm trying to pull together some kind of GTG for the Audi bunch over at that forum. There's one up in BC in a couple weeks, but seems there's enough of us to do one somewhere around here.

Rick, $4 isn't that bad, it's $1 less than at the last GTG at the state park... Did you see any Texaco's or Shell's that sell diesel

rickg · #36 05-11-2003, 02:06 AM

There are several stations in the area. I'm sure one was a Texaco. Ferndale seems to be a major stopping town between Bellingham and the border, as there is a lot of stuff right off the freeway.

Hi rickg!

Is there anyway to check to see if anyone else is planning to use that park that weekend? What if... what if.... what if there was a RAP MUSIC festival on at the same time?? Gasp! We don't want anyone competing with the klatta klatta klatta music :p

Ferndale has some big event every year.... is it a rodeo?

Still get twitchy when I think about crossing the border, but at least my loony might just be worth something for a change! I could load up on milk, butter and diesel purge! What's a gallon of diesel cost in Washington?.

Right now a gallon of diesel sells for $1.539 in Central Washington, it should be around that same price range throughout the state, but some areas tend to be higher and lower. I'm sure by August that price will have changed...

Yah, I thought about that too. I tried to find out that kind of info before we used Lake Sammamish park last summer, to no avail. But I'll see if maybe they're a bit more helpful up there. I guess we should have an alternative spot picked out just in case.

iread · #40 06-07-2003, 01:28 AM

Looks like I'm coming too. August 2 works for me.

#41 06-07-2003, 02:21 AM

I don't know if I will still have my car in August, but I will still try and make it if you don't mind me showing up in something other than an MB

(my car is making me so mad, that I am about ready to drive it off a mountian)

rickg · #42 06-07-2003, 03:07 AM

Sure, c'mon out anyway. We'll consider it just temporary insanity, and trust that you'll get good counseling and be back in a Benz soon

Don't worry, I am still thinking about getting a 'Mog, but that won't be for another few years, I just need to get away from having a money pit for a while

#44 06-27-2003, 01:50 AM

So have we finalized on a date and time and location yet? Has anyone figured out if we need any reservations, and if we are going to have bbq of any kind?

I still think I am going to be able to make it, since my schedule is still somewhat flexible for most of the summer... I might even still keep my car since it has been behaving a little better...

Hi Rick , did a place get selected yet ? Anywhere in that area sounds good . Looking forward to it
