EVENT: Organized drive to Mt. Baker Lodge for NSX and S2k owners
"IT'S OFFICIAL: AUGUST 27TH"
*****UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE*****
10:33 .am. 8-25-05
1. I spoke to the Kirkland Police Dept today and they will provide a traffic officer to help us on to I-405 as a group. They will be available at 7:15am, so everyone must be ready by 7:10am sharp.
2. I spoke to Duncan Howat - General Manager of Mt Baker Ski Area - and everything is a go for this saturday. He is asking for us to arrive as a group so we can keep the gate opening to a minimum. He has also informed me that most of the Mt Baker HWY from the town of Glacier has been repaved, and the drive is a lot better.
3. And the last update item - the White Salmon Lodge is usually a few thousand dollars to reserve, but he is asking for a small amount to cover cost of opening the lodge and starting the generators for us. These are not small Honda 5hp generators, we are talking about catepillar D9 motors. He is requesting a small fee of about $6.00 to $10.00 per person for use of the facility. We need $150.00 to $200.00 just to cover operating expenses. I think this is reasonable, and hope everyone is ok with this. I will collect the fee at the beginning of the drive (park n ride), so try to have 1's & 5's. The more people who attend the cheaper the cost per person. NOTE: This lodge is normally closed during the summer months. --- Dean
