3 Roadster Drive today. 10-29-17. Foggy AM. Beautiful afternoon. 293 miles.
DROPS Tour of North Whidbey Island with Garth and Kathy from the foreign country to the North and Jerry and Ted from Seattle area.
Explored many side roads and found some good views.

Pat-

I like the shot without the silos. B & W or color, the car is the same.

Drove to Barlow Pass with Ted and John V. last week. Nice day but a little cool to start then lovely fall color the rest of the day. Somehow the rock on the hood scratch then the broken windshield took some of the fun out of the day.

Not a barn find but an old abandoned car on the side of the road-

Stopped at the Verlot Ranger Station then found a spot along the river for a photo shoot-

I had an enjoyable drive with Ted, Garth and Kathy. The day started off quite foggy on my drive up to Bellingham to have breakfast at an old college favorite (they still have my favorite item on the menu - same name even (number 9), almost 35 years after graduating). Met Garth and Kathy in Bellingham and drove down Chuckanut drive to meet the group from Seattle. Ted (the group from Seattle) led us on a nice tour of North Whidbey Island.

Garth, Kathy and I had a nice lunch at the Oyster & Thistle (they have the best Oyster Stew!) in LaConner.

Should probably be wearing a fire proof suit and crash helmet every day to be honest.
