Calendar Event: Rallye des Montagnes du Nord Posted: August/30/12 at 3:32pm |
Oh heck..my French isn't so good, but "Rally in the Mountians of the North" just sounds better in French! :) I guess you could just call it the Cascade Loop Rally as well. Anyway, as the fair weather driving season approaches its end in the Northwest I've got the feeling we need a good send off to Summer and a welcome to Fall. I'm leading a fall drive/rally over the weekend of October 6th-7th. The drive will incorporate beautiful scenery, great roads and stops at a minimum of 3 small wineries along the way. If you are not a wine lover don't worry as their will be plenty alternatives to keep you happy at each stop along the way. The overnight lodging will be in Pateros rather than in Chelan as Chelan rates are high that weekend and vacancies low due to "Fall Crush" festival in Chelan and Oktoberfest in Leavenworth. Pateros is only about 18 miles north of Chelan. I have secured a group rate at the Lakeshore Inn (Lodging information is below). If you haven't made this drive before you won't want to miss it. The scenery is out of this world and the roads are some of the best you will find. Cheers, Martin (& Anne) Planning on Participating:

This is a very nice hotel on the lake with an on-site restaurant. All rooms have lake views, continental breakfast, fireplaces, wi-fi, flatscreen tvs. There are some pet-friendly rooms available by request. To reserve a room please contact the hotel and ask for the special rate for the rooms reserved under Martin Wild. Reservations: 1-877-923-9555 Website:
www.pateroslakeshoreinn.com/ Rallye des Montagnes du Nord 2012 Trip Prep & Notes Start Point: Fred Meyer, 18805 SR2 Monroe, WA. We will meet up in the SE Driver’s Meeting: 9:15AM Departure Time: 9:30AM We will depart by taking a right onto N. Kelsey St followed by a left turn on to SR2-E. Not all cars will be able to make the light but we will pull off at a safe point outside the city along SR2 to re-group so no rush to catch-up (we are on this road for a long bit). Itinerary: Leader will distribute detailed Itinerary and route notes at the driver’s meeting.
Feel free to also visit Plain Hardware just down the road. It’s more than just a “hardware” store and includes a barista bar, arts & crafts and clothing. There is also a mini-mart there as well if you need a snack.
From here you are on your own to enjoy the town and grab a bite to eat. Don’t miss the great ice-cream at the Sweet Shop or get in a game of mini-golf. For those wanting to take part in the wine tasting at Lost River winery please have your tastes buds ready at 12:00 at the tasting room.
Take time to explore and take the short walk up to the overlook for gorgeous views of the valley below. Don’t forget to take a bathroom break as there are miles of twisties ahead!

I think we may be able to make at least part of this. We just need to make it back for the Sounders match Sunday evening.

We are thinking, drive over and spend the night in Chelan, then reverse course to be back in time for the match.

Martin and Anne, I finally recovered enough from a severly sprained tongue trying to pronounce the name of this event to make a phone call and reserve a room.
