Run to the Ranch photos

[Carlos Cruz]

Fellow Cascaders,

The Southern Group had a great Run to the Ranch as well.  We had a great
bunch of cars gather at the XXX Drive-In in Issaquah.  Seven cars (6 Healeys
and one BJ9) headed east stopping briefly at WA-18 to pick up two more
Healeys.  We made it up and over Snoqualmie Pass in no time and into Cle
Elum so we could all fill one tank and empty another.  From there it was up
and over Blewitt Pass to WA-2 then into Wenachee where we hooked up with the
Northern group.

Thanks to Steve and Laurie for opening their shop, the warm hospitality and
the opportunity to make new friends.  The turn out was so great, I know I
didn't get to meet many of you.  I look forward to doing so in the near
future.

No longer a tour leader, our ride home was a nice leisurely tour with a stop
at Leavenworth where the car was a big hit with the shoppers.  We also
stopped at Deception Falls off of Hwy 2 where these two really hard-core
Harley bikers came over to admire the car.  I guess it's true, great rides
unite us all.  The first few rain drops began to fall after visiting the
falls.  Anna and I had the top up in record time - not bad given her first
time in the car.  I think it's safe to say the weekend proved to be a great
Healey adventure for all.  No one called while driving home so I can only
assume everyone made it home safely.

Cheers,
Carlos Cruz
