Run to the Ranch South Drive

Sun Aug 17 22:57:14 MDT 2008

Ooooo Dawgie, it was might toasty this weekend.  The horse has been  
fed new oil and other essential fluids today and is about ready to  
make it over the pass and to the Ranch.  The southern posse of  
Desperadoes is growing.  The route has been planned and I've attached  
it for your reference.

The trailhead starts at the XXX Drive-in in Issaquah, near Front  
Street and I-90.  We will leave the trailhead promptly at 8:30 AM -  
better wake when the rooster crows.  Please be gassed, fed and ready  
to ride.  Those of you joining us in Issaquah, please note we will  
exit at Hwy 18 cross over onto the on ramp to pick up another Healey.   
Help remind me so I don't forget.

Anyone else wishing to join us along the planned route, drop me a note  
so we can make arrangements for a meeting location.

Sunday - the Return
For anyone interested, on Sunday after breakfast, I will be heading  
back on Hwy 2 and plan to stop in Leavenworth for a few hours to enjoy  
the towns shops, lunch and other activities.  Afterwards we'll head  
west over Stevens Pass in to Monroe.  From there I'll head down 203 /  
202 into Issaquah.

Cheers,
Southern Trail Boss - Carlos
