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!

Sweet thanks for the exposure. The more the merrier. I live right by the mall here in Putallup. Worked in Tacoma for a while, in federal way now. I've probably seen you or at least passed by ya once or twice.

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.

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...
