NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Honda Passport rear disc brakes and wheel bearings almost finished up.

 

Ah one of my fav infernos making its way up to the PNW. Visiting or relocating?

 

Relo! Ginger is staying at the canyon for a little bit longer. Then she’ll be headed north

Hey.
Me again...

two inquiries.

1. Snoqualmie Pass. What time of year is it generally free of snow and ice? Yea, gotta make one more moving trip up there and that's the route. I just dont want to do that in a Uhaul...

2. Vancouver, BC. The city. I have an opportunity to spend up to a week there. Late April, early May. How much is there to see and do in the city proper? We would try to use public transit/feet to get around, so no rental car... If we stayed the full week, would we be bored by the third day?

 

BC or Washington? BC has tons of cool stuff, Vancouver Washington not so much

 

Oops. I did that. going back to fix. (the city in Canada.)

 

You could probably hop on a ferry to Sydney and Victoria over on Vancouver island for a couple day trips. Victoria is pretty cool.

 

Theres a trail over on the island that Im itching to hike... West Coast Trail. Permits will be hard to get.

I've got free night hotel vouchers I need to burn and since we're near Bellingham, thought this would be a nice trip to see the area. since DH is retired military, we can use base lodging for cheap in the US. So I figured I try to spend those vouchers on places we can't get cheaply (out of country...)

 

Cuffs,

I know you asked about Vancouver. Which has a ton of things to see and do. But the last time we went, we went to Victoria and took the BC Ferry from Nanaimo to Tswwassen. Man what a treat. That ship put our Blackball Ferry to shame. Felt more like a cruise ship. Highly Recommended. We went when Butchart Gardens were in full bloom. Stayed in a nice hotel near the Empress.

 

exploring all of that area is def on the agenda. We don’t like to cram 100 things into 4 days. We take time to learn and explore each area in depth. I think Victoria and the rest of Vancouver island is its own trip.

I’m working a new itinerary. Fly to Seattle, hotel for 2 nights (free with vouchers). See some sights, maybe a Mariners game. Amtrak Cascades SEA to Vancouver, biz class. 3 nights (free with vouchers) in Vancouver. Fly home to Phoenix from there.

 

Hey yall, selling the GX for something bigger (probably an LC200). If you know anyone interested, send them my way!

Nice ride! Does that tape deck still work?

 

It does! I think the black album is in there right now but i mostly use carplay haha

 

With your avatar I thought it might be this tape.

 

Damn what a missed opportunity

 

thank god that place was the biggest ripoff " Tell them the BONE ripped you off"
