Okay I'm just throwing this out there, is anyone from the North West planning on driving to Mid Americal for the Annual Gathering in May?  If I can get the Pacer running by then, I may be making the trip.  May is not very far away, better get planning Wink

Clap  Yah, I am glad this fire is going again. I was beginning to think the excitment had lost its potential.  PLAN to make the trip. You can catch Spielman when he comes round the montain.  The BEST is yet to happen.  M-n-S

Mark,
I hope you and Terry can bring a whole bunch of NW C3ers.
Looks like it will be another blast.

Calling on all NW C3VR's, get the cars ready now do not procrastinate, same goes for west coast states..For thoes who are going to use interstate 70 or 80 lets plan a hook up point..I'll be coming from the north it will take several days to cross from west to central USA ( depending on your driving speeds and the wife) we can meet in Kansas City Missouri for the push into Effingham?? Cilrah and RadarB8 which Hwy are you taken?? What about T-mans and T-Mans II?? Who else will be heading East from the west side?? Chime in..Terry

Just found this thread!
Well we have a room but are still WAY up in the air about the trip.
We just moved from the Rochester house (and 20 years of "stuff") to the farm in Satsop and that at least is done. Now I live with the cars and thats way cool.

If we drive  looks like we would take the 73. But we would take a week to drive out and just drive fast and stop at cool places.

Really I doubt we are going to make it but who knows? Stranger things have happened!

Hello John, I have not been on the site for a while now so not up to date with things, just found this forum. I am still in the running and would like to go to Effingham, not 100% sure yet but working on it now as I have to book the time off work to go. I have it at just about 2300 miles for me if I met you at Idaho Falls, would that be the way you would go? Larry are you driving the 04 and is Dee Dee going as well? I see Mark may be on the road, if not support vehicle anyone:):):) They did such a great job going to Bend, anyone else coming from that area? The Captain is up for it I know, so if I am not going he needs a ride:):):) Look forward to hearing from you guys.

Well time has come, I will not be attending the Effingham gathering. To take enough time off work to make it happen will not work for me this year. Will try to get Captain C3 down to Larry for the trip east and get a visit in. Cheers to all that will be there, safe travels.
