Re: Where did you DRIVE this weekend? (Roadsters only!)
Roadster Drive today. Sunday Nov 1 2020. Skagit Valley. 206 miles.
A sunny warm (60) very clear Fall day in the PNW.
Drove the Skagit Valley loop to Samish Island.
The air was exceptionally clear with Mt Baker very bright.
Drove Norman road (one of the best in the valley) 4 times!

Re: Where did you DRIVE this weekend? (Roadsters only!)
Roadster Drive Today. Monday. 11-2-20. Paradise on Mt Rainier. 238 miles.
The last day of the beautiful sunny warm Fall weather in the PNW.
Forecast for Sunrise (5400') was 50. Amazing for this late in the year.
Forecast was right. Even warmer. Cold and snow by Thursday so the Park will probably close until Spring.
Got there just ahead of the clouds.

Took a little extended weekend drive to the local Santa Monica mountains for some peace and tranquillity before the “ election madness” tomorrow.
Stopped in at the car/ motorcycle mecca, Neptune’s Net, in Malibu, for fish and chips lunch. They are hangin’ in with Covid adjustments for to go /outside dining....

Ted, was that Minneapolis Moline tractor for sale? It looks like the paint on it is probably original. It could probably sell for more than my roadster
It was so hot here in southern NH that I was forced to run over to the Maine coast for relief.

Re: Where did you DRIVE this weekend? (Roadsters only!)
Roadster Drive today. Wednesday.12-2-20. Snoqualmie Falls. 109 miles.
Amazing turnout of 7 DROPS roadsters for a sunny cold Fall drive. Mid 40s at the start but up too about a warm 58 by 2pm.
Drivers were Dan R, Art B, John V, Dave F, Dan O, Rick H and Ted.
Short loop in the Snoqualmie valley including lunch break at Snoqualmie Falls and ending at a great Mt SI view spot.
Infrequent beautiful Winter days need to be driven. We do not put our roadsters away for the winter in the PNW!
