I was just thinking the same thing, Any word on this years rally, I see Aaron hasn't logged in, in a while. Really looking forward to this year.

You would think the older they got the more independent they would be come, hence more free time. But things that seem so obvious really never are :D

This event sounds like it could be a lot of fun. Not sure which vehicle to bring. None of them would be very fun to drive 352 miles. Thinking about it hoping I'll be up to participate.

tburk/Tim,
Danielle speaks the truth.
For the last few years Varyag and crew have made it from Garfield down to my place in Kennewick, as a first leg.
Then we head over to Napavine, via yakima and hwy 12, the following morning.
There is plenty of room for your rigg and a place to sleep if you want to join up to our convoy.
Or if a better route is for you to come down I-90, we could me up in Yakima.
Slow and steep over 12 is better on the ol' warriors than the interstate and kids flying past you at 70.
Plus a back up crew is always nice.

Would be cool to find somewhere more local to meet up for a rally. See if the wet sider's have the right stuff to put in some true seat time. :)

Our first trip up for the first convoy, both Danielle and I drove up the m1009 and m818, respectively.
430 ish miles each way was a lot of driving, a lot of fuel, and a bit of fun.
Now, it's about 13 miles each way, MUCH BETTER!

I should like to catch up with some locals! A convoy would be great as well. We should make sure to keep up...

400 miles in a deuce, no problem, Portland to Sun Vally, ID and back a few times in mine. about 600 miles each way. I really would like a set of air rides though. Looking forward to doing it again this summer with the 395s, would really love to compare the time/fuel consumption over the stock tires.
