September 5th run to Winthrop

[phil daniels]

Beckie and i are planning a run to Winthrop Friday, the the 5th if any one
would like to join us.  The weather is supposed to be much better, maybe 80
here.  If it does not get better, then we will most likey go to a local pub
instead. The plan is laid out below.  I will send out a last minute go or no
go Wednesday evening.
 
Leaving North Kirkland at 9:00 AM Friday, the 5th of September.
(Meet us at the Park and Ride Lot at 8:30 to 8:45.  It is the P/R at exit 22
on the 405.)
Traveling East across Hiway 522 to Hiway 9 in Woodinville.
North on Hiway 9 to Arlington.
Turning East on Hiway 530 at Arlington, through Darington and continuing North
on 530 to Rockport.
Again turning East on Hiway 20 at Rockport, toward Winthrop.
We will stop at Newhalem for lunch or maybe to buy picnic stuff and go on to
Washington
Pass in the North Cascades. 
After replenishing our stomachs, we will continue down 20 to Winthrop.
 
Not sure how many are going so we will not be able to plan too much ahead, but
will make some inquiries about group rates at a few of the B/B's and motels
and hotels before we leave.
 
Stay and party at Winthrop Friday night.
 
Leaving Winthrop Saturday morning at 9ish, we will travel South on 20 to South
side of Twisp, turning onto the 153 South to Pateros.
At Pateros, we will turn right onto 97 to Chelan. 
At Chelan we will get on the ALT97 on the West side of the River and go to
Wenatchee.
In Wenatchee, we will turn West on 2 and head to Leavenworth.
Lunch in Leavenworth before heading up over Stevens and home to the P/R in
Kirkland.
 
Drop us an e-mail, telephone us or just show up before 9 Friday to join us.  I
am sure that this will be a very fun trip.  This is the planned route, but as
usual, we will most likely get detoured here and there.  Also, i would like to
remind our Oregon and BC neighbors they are welcome to join us.  (Please call
or e-mail me with where you might join up with us.)
