Bill Cox M.D. has offer to host a BBQ(lunch) at his mansion :smile::-) in Yakima. Its a great 2+ hours drive i90 then 821 along the river to Yakima from here. I am shooting for Sunday May 3rd or May 10th pending weather and input from you guys. Meet at XXX Rootbeer at 815a.m. leave the same time at 845a.m. Lets make it a race to his house.... :-) at your own risk :wink: :biggrin:

A little OT, but this summer I'd like to do a long road trip... just somewhere into Eastern WA, or perhaps just down the coast. Do an overnight thing.

Maybe in June?

There's nothing east of the mountains. Down the coast would be a lot more fun. State parks in OR have yurts in them. And the Tillamook cheese factory. :wink:
 
Rhonda and I are heading over to Yakima that weekend to do the t-pee and horseback riding wine tour. Basically drink wine and ride horses from winery to winery. We leave Friday afternoon. But for an idea, Canon Beach, Oregon has a Ferrari meet in May where they close main street and have a car show. Its pretty cool.:biggrin:

We used to rent beach houses when I lived in Portland for the weekend...even a night. They're not that bad.

Perhaps we could get a little group together and go party it up. lol

Ok Ok ... :smile: i know it's mother's day. :tongue: May 3rd is too soon for many and looks like rain is coming Sat night...lets move the drive til later in June. I will be driving to Yakima regardless on the 10th and have lunch w/him. I will check out good roads to take for us. Anyone wants to join me that's ok too. Make sure you send your mom (or wife) flowers before driving w/me or she will pull your ears off...:-) I will keep you guys update.

i didn't know Bill lives in Yakima!!! I have a day off on the 10th, not sure if I'll do anything with mom on that day... tempting to do a little road trip with you guys.
 
My mother is on the other side of the country. A phone call and a drive to Yak sounds fun!

The ten-day outlook shows rain all through the timeframe around the bbq. I'm out if it's going to be raining.

I need to make sure I can have my call covered before I can commit to bringing anything. I'll know in a couple of days.
