Rootes Rendevous
We had a real kick as usual. The weather "JUST" complied as we moved around on our doings. We arrived "The Port of Entry gate" Blaine Washington, about 3 pm Friday. I do not think anyone at these facilities will ever get it together. For about an hour we putzed along as you know 1/2 to 1 mph. Then just as we are getting there Deb Stienbeck's car the Maroon Tiger gave up the spook "way too friggin HOT" we wound up pushing it cross the line..
Langley Accent Inns was a nice spot kind of centralized. Pub and a IHOP close by and good parking.
Sat AM we breakfasted at 8am,, Ohan "Keep The Beam Alive" guy called me at 06:30,,,~~~~'zzz'''~~~ . alls well there. From there we drove over to the Air Museum and spent a good 3 hours and lunch..bonus was a fly-in going on, we were invited to cross the field to park under a Beaver air craft's wings. Photos going on and a lot of small local craft to view.
After lunch we were off to the "RACES" at a Go Cart track and just had a kick in the pants drive.. Dang little Canuck kid, kept running me down. I finally waxed him into a bumper. .>)
Sat evening we were off to a real nice restaurant by the river.
Whewee Sunday, it rained, rained and finally blew its' way on to Hope Canada.. We went down to see off Ohan's Soap Box Derby car, and it was good there, they had been rain delay for the time trials so we got there to watch Ohan's car with his designated driver, James, "For Make a Wish" take 2nd, in the first heat. Then off to the south,, another blessing of the US that damn gate. 1 hour there, Ron Simcox pushed Debs car back across the border, we had taken another line and they were way behind.. The guards wouldn't let us go back to help out.
