    Posted: September/09/14 at 5:01pm
2014 PSMINI Presents Our Annual Family Picnic

When: Saturday September 20th, 10:00 AM until 4:00 PM

Start: Thornton A Sullivan Park/Camp Patterson, 11405 W. Silver Lake Rd. Everett, WA 98208

End: Thornton A Sullivan Park/Camp Patterson, 11405 W. Silver Lake Rd. Everett, WA 98208

Cost: This event is free but it's also a potluck. Please bring an item(s) to share with everyone.

Details: It's time to relax, have some fun (yes, there will be games), get-together to talk MINI (or all those summer vacations you have been on!), and enjoy the last few Bulldog Days of Summer. Bring a folding chair, a food item to share, and get to know the club and its members a bit better. There will be hamburgers, hot dogs, buns, condiments, and paper goods/utensils provided by PSMINI. We ask you to please bring one or more to share of drinks, salads, desserts, chips, veggies, or that new recipe you have needed guinea pigs for.

We are at Thornton A Sullivan Park / Camp Patterson on Silver Lake again this year (and not because it is conveniently next door to your club VP's apartment ;). This location provides us with excellent amenities like an open camp charcoal grill, a large covered area with electricity, a prep-sink, private bathrooms, private parking, and a large covered area with park benches. Plus, with all this awesome summer weather, swimming opportunities are plentiful! More information about the park is here.

Notes about parking, when you turn into the park you'll come into the gravel parking area. Keep going straight though the gate at the back of the parking lot and onto the grassy area which is ours for the day. We will help you find your way in in the event you find yourselves lost!

Notes about getting there, The address isn't exactly where the park is but the link above has an arrow at the gate into our parking area. Here are some suggestions to make sure you can find us: Remember, we will have the big field up and to the left of the swimming area near the big parking area. You will find a gate off the parking area that we will mark so you can drive inside. If you are a party of two or more you can use the Park-n-Ride exit at 112th. It’s a left hand exit from I-5 both southbound and northbound. Go up the ramp to the light on 112th and then turn Left at the light and take the next right and you’ll come out right by the park.

What to bring:
- A smile and some good stories to share
- All your MINIs! (some of us have more than one)
- A chair, blanket, etc. to sit in the grass.
- Your camera/phone for some beautiful panoramic shots
- Some sunscreen
- Your sharable potluck item(s)
- A swimsuit (there is a swimming beach near our location) – weather permitting
- Not your dog :( see below
- Your PSMINI badge! We have lots of new members and this will help us identify each other!

Some Park Rules:
- No pets allowed.
- No alcoholic beverages.

Drives: Due to time constraints, no official route has been planned this year

Event Organizers: Once again, a very special and warm thank you goes out to Jack and Linda Grouell for securing our spot at the park again this year as well as your event organizers Ryan McClune, Ashley Poeppel, Brian Rushby, and Dave Chrisman.

As always, please use this forum to let us know you are coming and how many of your MINI friends you'll be bringing. See you there!

Although family obligations and major home projects have kept us from participating in any of the PSMINI events this year - and have in fact kept us from being able to be actively involved in the Picnic planning, we will do our very best to be there. 

For those who have not joined in one of the previous picnic events, it is a great way to spend some time with the people from the club, enjoy some classic picnic food, and have a good time.  Hope to see lots of you there...

Bruce, Elliott and Hazel will be there, or at least we are planning on coming.  Stacie has a performance in Tacoma that day.  This plan is dependent on my front axles holding together- they are getting pretty noisy lately.  That will be my first project in the new garage!

Jinx!Unhappy  Axles were knocking so bad this morning as I tried to drive to work that I had to turn around and steal Stacie's car.  The wheel was twitching and the front end was hopping up and down as well.  There's no way I could drive my car to Everett, and Stacie has a gig in Tacoma so her car will be in use.

So for those of you who are big fans of Hazel and Elliott, sorry.  I promise the Hart family will attend an event some time in the future.

What's green and has 15 wheel bolts?  Napoleon II!  This afternoon I found that my driver's side wheel was loose to the point that the head of one of the bolts broke off, which accounted for the noise and wheel hopping.  Jacked it up and tightened the other three and the car drives fine now.  This wheel always does that, so I'm just going to get four new bolts once I figure out how to get the broken stud out.

See you on Saturday unless Stacie nixes the kids riding in my car.

I took more, but these are the only ones that have found their way from my iPhone to Photobucket:




Love the panoramic feature.  Sharp eyes will be able to pick out Hazel in the first one and even sharper eyes will be able to pick out her and Linda in the second one, as Linda returned from an errand just as I was taking these.
