Beautiful sunny PNW day. Left the house and headed south to the April DROPS meeting in Renton, WA-

Image

Record day according to Ted as 14 roadsters were present. A couple people had problems on the way or there would have been two more.

Thursday I drove up to Hollister, with a couple hour stop at Willow Springs..

They were running some weird Plymouth and Dodge things on the big track..

Image

Friday morning, drove from Hollister to San Miguel..

Image

Image

Image

While at lunch in San Miguel, there was this cute little VW parked on the side of the road..
Image

After lunch, ran the rest of the way down to Solvang..
Image

Image

Image

Saturday, after the show, went for a short fun run with Spencer, Izzy, Monte and Peter..
Image

Drove home Saturday night.. CalTrans finally opened the road into the local mountains after 5 months, So Sunday I ran up the hill, saw friends, ate lunch, and enjoyed the mountain air.. Photo by Johnny Chen

Great weekend..

Drove through the Marin headlands and stopped in Sausalito where they were firing up a copter as you can see behind my car, pretty quiet actually.
