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. How many MINIs came last year?

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.

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 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!
