Fall PNW Tech Meet #13 - October 11th

[escapefjrtist]

Any plans for a breakfast meetup?

The north-end group typically meets at the Carnation Starbucks for the ride down. Figure ready to leave at 8:00 ish.

Mrs. Auburn generally has quite a spread of pastries and breakfast fixins...

Y'all have fun without me. That happens to be opening day for deer season and I'll be busy doing my part to keep the roads safer for all FJR riders by eliminating at least one suicidal forest rat!

Hell take out three or more. I am sure nobody around here is going to complain!

Just don't forget to bring more jerky next time. I'm old but still remember.

 

[audiowize]

Yeah, luckily for me, Auburn is only about 15 minutes away. Carnation and Cle Elum are tempting, but it'd be a mighty early morning!

Not sure there are any other Canucks on the attendees list, going to try to attend in order to make this an international event.

Just how bad is the driveway? Do I need knobbies?

Tire choice will depend whether you choose to stay on the pavement or not.

That's why I always park on top of the HILL and walk down, it's a lot safer that way

Auburn FJR's driveway is short and steep but it made out concrete and is in excellent shape. There is even a good run out at the bottom were several peeps park. Truly it is no problem.

 

[sapest]

Ok, thx, other comments had me thinking of the Ponderosa Country Inn.

Make the run down, you won't be disappointed. Leave the knobbies at home...you'll want all the traction you can get for the climb out...

The Mrs and I will be putting Tyler up at our place the night before, so I'll bring him over to meetup with the Carnation crew before heading down.
