We had a great time, too!  The weather held out (well, almost) for most of the run, but by the time we got back to Oak Harbor, it was pouring and has been every since.  Anyway, bunch of great people, and like Michael says... it's all about the ride!

   Had a great time too.  It was nice to meet our neighbors to the north.  Great group of people - nice scenery!

Wonderful day as usual. Always meeting new people and creating new events. Just 2 of my favorite pics of the day

 

On the mountain, and breakfast on the go. (actually at the waiting area in the morning)

Glad everyone enjoyed themselves. We had a great time too and enjoyed making new friends as well as seeing old (relatively)friends again. It was good that the two clubs could get together on such short notice.

Don't know if we can do Leavenworth but we'll sure try.

 I'd like to thank Kathy (mini in the middle) for helping make this run happen and all who attended. This was our first international drive, In conjuction with the Vancouver MIni Cooper Club hope we do more in the future.

Great Pictures from everybody! And I had a GREAT time.

Just a small note Mike.... Your first shot of "Baldrick" The Silver Cooper and the Canadian Cooper S (wont try to remember the color as I will surely mess it up) is great. However Baldrick is a Canadian Launch Edition wearing Washinton plates..... But I won't tell anyone.

"Baldrick" - 2002 Cooper Canadian Launch Edition #215/500.
"Rowan" - 1971 Mini Clubman Turbo - Plates: RELMINI
"Princess Aurora" (Named by our 6 year old daughter) - 2001 Toyota Sienna "Mini" Van

Wow! Those are some great pictures!

Could you post the route you took?  Looks like we missed out on a fun drive.

Route:  Up a really twisty, curvy (and scenic) road to the top of a mountain, and back down again.   Great fun, friendly people, wonderful little cars!

Yes you did :)

I-5 N to exit 255 head east on Sunset which is hwy 542  to the top. On the way back some of us took hwy 9 off 542 all the way to hwy 522 then 522 to I-405. The hwy 9 route adds about 2hrs to the drive.Speed limit 25 to 35 alot of the way.

Yeah, but it was a nice change from the monotony of highway travel. Hope the sheriff found his donuts
