The Puget Sound British Automotive Society is again hosting the "Run To The Gorge  Car Tour and Rally" May 24 - 25.  This is an event open to all makes and MINIs are very welcome.  We have had good participation in the past and those who have joined in have had a great time with a very nice group of people and some great cars.  Hood River is a super place to visit and the drive getting there is guaranteed to be "interesting".
 
Check out the details at: http://www.abfm.com/gorge.htm
 
 The organizers are the same ones who put together the Al British Field Meet:

H-m-m-m-m... this is the week after the Hauling Ash drive.  I'll have to think about this one.  If we have a good amount of MINIs that want to do this one, I'll join in.  Smile  How many MINIs came last year?

The information below is the latest from the Puget Sound British Automobile Society, Sponsors of this great event.
 
 
We invite you to enter the 10th Annual Car Tour and Rally
“Run to the Gorge”
May 24-25, 2008
This Event is open to all Vehicles

Pack a lunch and join us for this one or two day tour, leaving from Jaguar of Tacoma, Fife,WA.  This tour, on your own, will take you South around Eatonville and continuing through some beautiful country side around and into Mt. St. Helens. Stop for lunch then continue winding south to the Washington side of the Columbia Gorge, then east to our final destination in Hood River, OR. These are roads you have probably never driven on. This event is not a rally, there are no traps. Run in the style of European events you will be given maps and instructions to make your drive a pleasant one.

The Hood River Inn will be our host hotel. We have arranged a dinner, where you will have the opportunity to go over the days events with other entrants. You will arrive at the Inn around 5:00pm and have time to take a dip in the pool before meeting for Cocktails. Followed by a Dinner consisting of either Roasted Prime Rib served with a Baked Potato or Filet of Wild Salmon served with a Wild Rice Pilaf. All Dinners served with a Mixed Green Salad, Seasonal Vegetables, Rolls & Butter, Dessert, Coffee, Tea, and Iced Tea.

After dinner there will be an awards presentation and door prizes.  On Sunday morning, join us for a Classic Continental Breakfast Buffet of Pastries, Muffins & Scones, Seasonal Fresh Fruits, Chilled Fruit Juices, Coffee and Tea.  Afterwards there will be a drivers meeting, and return route options.

Can’t stay overnight? You can still join us for the Drive Only or stay for Dinner and you could still be home by Midnight

Hotel Accommodations: The Hood River Inn is holding rooms for Saturday night. To make reservations please call 1-800-828-7873. You must mention the “RUN TO THE GORGE” to receive the group rate.  Please make reservations early, as rooms are only being held through May 1, 2008

Proceeds from this event will go to support the Automotive Historic Institute a 501 C 3 non-profit corporation

Any idea how many MINIs are gonna go on this drive?  I've got that weekend off, but I don't want to participate unless there's a good turnout of MINIs.  Ermm

This usually does not get a large turnout - but those who attend always have a great time.  This year it is the weekend after another two day event (PSMIN wine tour) so it may not get much interest.  I am reasonably sure Linda and I will participate but we are waiting for some family issues to get settled before committing.

We're in for sure, sent in our registration today and booked a room.  This event is always a lot of fun, great group of people, and always a beautiful route.

We're planning on going- haven't registered yet but have reserved our room- waiting for the next paycheck which should be pretty fat. We considered the wine tour too, but this one was on our anniversary and now I can get a day off or two in May, as TV sweeps weeks are a thing of the past. I'm hoping our first MINI event has a good turnout, even though it is not specifically a psmini.org event.

Looks like a few of us will be making the "Run To The Gorge" this year - might still be able to get in if you are interested.   Going to be a great weekend for a nice drive on some "interesting"  roads with lots of great cars...

Dang I wish we could make even one day of this.  If the grass around here would just stop growing, I wouldn't have to spend every spare moment mowing.  Have fun and post lots of pictures!

Kristin, you are a poet!  I could loan you a couple more horses to help out with that mowing!  Anna
