Was going to go the the Parade for the whole week, but how about the wife and I visit a few of our 924 friends?

You know you're always welcome up here.

But even for an Aussie, Salt Lake City to Vancouver is a long drive!

Of course, if you could make it to Portland on Saturday 6th...

The first thought was home to dinner with the Omaha gang then SLC followed by Boise, Portland and Vancouver then a stop for Pizza at Nelson, WI on the way home.

But maybe I should skip SLC and chase Kevin from Boise to Portland since it sounds as if most of you will be there.

I thought you might loop back the other way... hightail it from home out to Portland by the 6th, hang for Saturday night and Sunday, then meander back to SLC and so on...

Sounds like a plan either way; we'll keep the light on, and the pizza oven warm! And, the beer very cold as usual!

Sorry, mistook the date. I meant Saturday 7th.

Either way, Booze Bear says: "Party in Portland!"

Booze bear appears to be ready with some mighty fine rum.

Longer than San Diego to Milwaukee in 2 days?

Thanks for the endorsement!

So what is the plan, just show up at the track sometime Saturday morning? The better half says: "Hotel" since with all her other stuff, there is no room for camping gear. Anything nearby?

Who all is attending?

Anybody need anything small from WI?

Plenty of hotels nearby, the track is ten minutes from downtown, with rail service.
