what were gonna do is sell tickets next time. That way, if ya bail, ya loose yer $10. Then we takes the money and on the trip, we eats/drinks
Trip was good. Travis and honey are nuts to get up that friggin early!! I slept in, had a shower and went on down
But then I have relatives there, hehe.
Meet was good, saw some cool tech, met some nice people (even a girl with a GSX), smelled nitrous on the hiway, cruised at 155 for many miles, drove thru some gorgeous twisty areas, with mossy trees, waterfalls and many rainbows, stopped at a nice pub, talked tech, and life. Great time.
Hit the hiway, but the 205 north was blocked off, so I had to take Trav on a detour. He thought we were lost, I had done it before, but sometime in the mid 90's so it was not familiar, tho I knew it would come out ok. Lost alot of time in the parking lot called I205 north tho.
Stopped for gas at a little station with a real skanky bathroom. Gahh!
Hehe, yea there was an odd state trooper tho, he did pass us, and we were going 75 in the fast lane
Oh well, scared me for a bit.
Got dark, and rainy. Got to be able to pick out the front of Trav's car from 5 lanes of swerving, speeding traffic mayhem in the dark, and in the rain
We both missed the 405 bypass, which flows around Seattle's gridlock, but that nite, all was pretty okeydokey, so it was shorter.
I saw it at the last min, but it was 3 lanes over, and Trav was ahead. No way we were both gonna make it. Next time. It's a nice drive. :thumbs:
Lost Travis in Seattle. He took the regular hiway, which is usually pretty nasty. I was right behind him, and I was signaling, and stayed in the left lane. I even flashed him the brights, but to no avail. I sailed on left, and under the city, or so it seems. Like a track in "Need For Speed:High Stakes" Kinda cool, and usually really fast, as there are no on or off ramps, you just drive 70mph. When I got back on, I hit the middle lane, and slowed down to 60, till I saw those familiar lights in the mirror. "I think I found a black 1g from BC" Is what I said to Carmen just before I tached it up to 75 again and joined on his 6.
Things are a bit different at night. I have made that trip 30 or so times since 93, but never at night. So we were in the right lane a bit early for the Bellinghoohoo exit, but that is better than a trip to Point Roberts
Trav scraped his ass on a bump coming off the exit ramp. How's that BTW? Need a bandaid or some cream
Resisted the need to hand some punks in an Avenger thier asses, despite my 200lbs of crap in the back, and horrid Yank gas.
Made it threw the border easy.
Said goodby to Trav and (dangit, I forgot her name, sorry) and headed home, with good Canadian air thru the intercooler, soon to be filled with PetroCan 94!
