Just thought I would let everyone know that I just rolled into Chilliwack around 4PM today after a fantastic trip to Knotts. The breakdown south of Salem Oregon was a little tense but only left me about 6-7 hours behind schedule. When Henry caught up with me the trip really started to happen. The five car sprint from Tracy with Dale, Bruce and Paul was a ball. Thanks guys! After Knotts I drove south to La Jolla and went boating with friends. From there I duked it out with L.A. traffic to Santa Monica and up the coast via Malibu and spent the night in Cambria. Tuesday morning I had the greatest drive up Hwy 1 via Big Sur that anyone could dream of. Unbelievable is the best description! Another night with friends near Watsonville and I headed back to I-5 for the blitz home. I wanted to visit with Bruce in Medford last night but I was making such time, I was too early and drove until Albany (same place I broke down in) and smoked it home today.
I have to say to all I met, it was wonderful! We drove, we met, we partied and had one fabulous time! I'm curious if Dale F actually drove the s**t out of his car after I showed him some "driving techniques" on our Saturday night beer run. It was fun. Also to Henry and Dale B and Dale F, I'm still feeling bad about dragging you guys out at 6AM Sunday morning for that car gathering that actually happened on Saturday! I was still a fine drive and proved to me that I-5 does actually have a quiet time!
Gotta run and sort some business issues. I'll sort my pics and post some later.
Regards,
Rick
