Overview
TSNW hits the Peninsula with our cruise along US 101 to Forks, WA. This cruise will be full of spectacular views including includes forests, mountains, lakes, rainforest and of course, the Pacific coast. Forks, WA, most recently known as the setting for the Twilight movies, has more to offer than just sparkly vampires. With the Hoh Rainforest, ocean beaches, waterfalls and many other outdoor activities nearby, Forks is a great place to visit. Be sure you have a friend coming along, as this will be a long cruise. But with all the beautiful scenery, this cruise promises to be one of epic proportions so bring a camera! We are hoping for great weather and, as always, great friends!

There will be many a picture to share. Was hoping to have another Yaris along, but that's ok, we will get there. Decided to keep mine after all. ...almost traded it for a Corolla XRS, but the dealer wanted to give me $4k for my car and not a penny more. So I walked. :biggrin:

Anyway, hopefully we get a few guys and gals interested in going. I will be there for sure!

HA! Good stuff.

Anyway, you guys sure missed a fun day, although it was raining pretty much the entire time, we got a few sunbreaks at perfect times. I ended up leaving the Yaris at home because my passenger bailed on me, so the Mrs. and I just took her Camry. Had a great time there, also had a RHD Celica on the cruise which turned a lot of heads. I have pics, but need to get them off the camera and onto the photobucket so I can share em. Stay tuned for photos...
