Sunday won't work for me. It'd be better on Saturday. And on Sunday the returning traffic on the Pass can be a real hassle.

And there should be more than 5 people, even if no other drivers turn up. I'll be bringing a friend, and Rearro mentioned bringing his parents. Not sure about the others. Any other restaurant is fine with me, if Gustav's isn't suitable.

I'll be bringing a camera, for sure. Scenery in the Pass then will be amazing. Just hope my WHITE X doesn't disappear in all the snow. Oh wait, mine is the X5 that ALWAYS needs a bath - even while it's still wet from the previous washing!

Wearing new Hakkapeliitta 4 SUV studded snow tires. Should be an easy ride. Will be nice to test them out.

Anyone else coming along? Should we meet near the Starbucks in the Fred Meyer parking lot in Monroe then? Say about 10 AM on January 5th?

BTW

1) Who has made reservations if any?
2) Does anybody have two way radios?
3) What is the address for the Starbucks we are meeting at?

I know as the "organizer" I should know more, but I just havn't found the time lately.

Cpatzer, We can exchange cell #'s to keep in contact, Jeepguy ( Dave ) and I have already done so I'll pm my info!

I have no clue where the Starbucks is at but I'm sure I'll find it. Fred Meyer is pretty big I guess I'll use that as a landmark.

I have not made reservations anywhere I thought we would just show up and watch the restaurant staff Freak out!!!

The Starbucks is in plain sight at the westerly end of the Fred Meyer parking lot on the left side of the highway as you head east into Monroe. Easy to see, and a convenient spot to meet up, regardless of which direction someone is coming in from.

No reservations have been made in Leavenworth yet, since we aren't sure how large a group we are or when we'll arrive, and there are plenty of places to eat. I recommend Gustav's (in the big onion dome building) because it's easy to get into, and there is a lot of street parking nearby. But any other suitable place would work as well.

I think staying in touch via cell would be easiest, at least till we know who is and isn't coming. I'd ask that if anyone decides to not come, please let the others know so we don't stand around waiting for you.

So is anyone else planning to attend? Post in this thread, or PM me.

Dave

Okay guys, I just got off the phone with a friend of mine who works in the weather department at KOMO TV. He tells me there is a SERIOUS heavy snow warning for Stevens Pass through Saturday, with the worst of it coming during the day on Saturday. He strongly advises we not try this drive this weekend, due to the weather.

Now, I don't know about you, but I'm fine in snow. It's the other lunatics driving on the same road that scare me. (Not you guys - I know you'd be fine.) But considering someone was killed on this road just yesterday, I'm hesitant right now to do this. I think we need to postpone till another weekend when the weather is better.

Let me know your thoughts.

Dave
