Was thinking EF Lewis, but could rally for something else like Truss/Farmlands, Wind, or Yellowjacket . Any interest? |

There might be a few of us catboater types heading down to the Wind. For Dave and I, it will be a day trip only. Which day will depend on level but probably Sat. --Shelly |

I had been talking to folks about EFL daytrip on Sunday, but could possibly redirect. Some of the folks I have been speaking to may not be up for yellowjacket. I haven't committed to anything yet, other than heading to Baker tomorrow. ------------- |

If I'm part of the "crew" I'll be driving down from Everett on Sunday am then... If anybody wants to carpool thats cool... Are you planning to do the "upper putin?" I'd definately like to check it out. However I don't know everybody's comfort levels, it looks like a different flavor than the normal run... ------------- H2O please |

I'll be driving down from kirkland, unless I can get someone else to drive me down from kirkland, though I probly have to take my rig to accommodate Franz's frame.

can I join your "Crew" on sunday? 
It's like all those sitcoms in the 70's when WHITE PEOPLE (honkies) would attempt to speak "jive". And the sit com writers of the day got so much mileage out of that one.
Can I "Rally" with your "Crew" on this "Mission" to run the "Gnar"?
I'm just palying around here, and not really asking the question. Consider me on my own "i can't decide" bandwagon. At least until I talk to Chipper tonight. ------------- 🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋 |

I vote for Yellowjacket - IF - we can eddy out /with cats above the 40'er. Does potential carnage help change anyone's mind ?

If we pull this trip together... 'm bringing an HD helmet cam... Should capture any carnage nicely! ------------- H2O please |

We have one of those also - between the two of us, it should be well documented
