PSMINI Presents
MINIs & Mums


When: Saturday May 3rd. Meet at 7:15AM, drivers meeting at 7:45, motoring to the ferry at 8:00.

Start: PCC Market 9803 Edmonds Way in Edmonds WA. We have an alternate meet point if are not taking the ferry (see below).

End: Gorst Wa where we will split off and head for home. For those headed back to Seattle the goal is to make the 5:30PM Bremerton ferry.

Alternate Start: If you are not taking the ferry, be at The Grub Hut 11130 NE State Highway 104 Kingston WA 98346 parking lot by 9:00am. We will regroup after the ferry in this parking lot and put the whole group together there. The Grub Hut will not be open.

Details:
Spring is in the air! That means flowers, Mother’s Day, and our first day-trip of the season! It’s time to grab the sunglasses, hop in your MINI, and join us for a pre-mother’s day scenic adventure along Hood Canal.

This event promises a fun day of back-roads scenery with a few special stops – This trip is sure to delight those focused on driving, and those who just want to take in some of the spectacular beauty so close to home. You’ll want your cameras, and your mothers, on this one!

Stops, with time to browse and shop, include:
Port Gamble General Store - A whimsical destination for everything a general store should have including local candies, crafts, toys, and an extensive shell and crab collection! Don’t forget to get your picture taken with the Skate (or as I like to call it, the Sea Chupacabra).

Whitney Gardens - Seven acres at the foot of the Olympic mountains. Over 15,000 people visit the gardens every year to take in its beauty. The gardens started in the 1930's and specialize in Rhododendrons (the largest I've ever seen) – Hybrids and Species, Azaleas – Evergreen and Deciduous, coupled with many horticultural selections such as Maples, Magnolias, Conifers, Kalmias, Camellias, Perennials, Ground Covers, and Vines, along with scores of Shrubs and Trees. Everything will be in bloom while we are there. It's truly breathtaking. The nursery will also be open if you'd like to select a bit of beauty for your own home.

Lunch! We will all be stopping together at a lunch spot. Specific location will be based on the weather and how many members will be joining us. At this time, we can guarantee it will be tasty. If the weather holds, there will be Oysters. If it doesn't hold, we'll be indoors. More details to come and we'll make an announcement about a week before the run.

Alderbrook Lodge: A beautiful resort right on the canal. We'll have some time to relax and take-in the scenic views from this resort.

More! We'll also be stopping for lunch (as mentioned), making a quick hike to Rocky Brook Falls, and, of course, the entire drive will give you endless views of the Hood River Canal and the Olympic Mountains. Don’t forget your cameras on this one. Also, if you are taking the ferry home with us, you’ll be treated to a spectacular view of Mt. Rainer as we make our way back to Seattle.

Cost: Lunch, ferry, and anything purchased along the way is on your own. If you are taking the ferry out and back you’ll save a little by buying a round-trip fair in the AM. Whitney Gardens requests a $1 donation per person to walk their seven acre garden (that’s a steal of a deal).

What to Bring:
     -FRS Radio set to channel 7, sub-channel 21. Come early if you need to borrow or help setting your radio channels. We’ll use the radios to communicate turns & keep in touch during the drive.
     -A camera, there will be plenty of scenery worth capturing
     -Sunglasses, sunscreen, hats & comfortable shoes
     - or, if weather dictates, sweaters, jackets & umbrellas. This is the NW after all!
     -Water & snacks for the drive
     -Fare for the ferry and/or cash to donate at the garden
     -Friend, family, or adventurous navigator (not required for this drive, come solo if you like)
     -A full tank of gas in your MINI!

RSVP: Please RSVP by responding to this thread. Let us know if you are starting at PCC and taking the ferry with us or if you will meet us at The Grub Hut parking lot. That way, we will know to look for you. A accurate count for lunch will keep us on schedule.

Rally Masters: An amazing scouting of this route by Jeff (SodaJeff) Waibel and Shari Allen made this event possible. Thank you both!

Hi olivemini, glad you'll be joining us for your first event! With you're Paceman I think this event will have the full gen 2 MINI model lineup represented!

Judging by the post i've quoted above, it looks like "the southies" will be meeting a McD's on 512 before heading up to the Grub Hut in Kingston.

Can't wait to see the caravan of MINIs on Saturday!
