Heading east over the North Cascades, although I have not been that way in several years there were no services between Marblemount and Winthrop which is a distance of 85 miles. As such, when we were on our motorcycles we always topped off in Marblemount just to play it safe.

Sally and I are in. Hell we have to be since this is our back yard. We also hope to organize a GTG Saturday evening near downtown Winthrop.
We have some rooms reserved at a very nice lodge just south of downtown Winthrop. (walking distance from town)
This event will coincide with a large car show which is held yearly in Winthrop.
Hope many of you can join us for this fall 2015 GTG in the Methow Valley of North Central WA.

I have yet to drive Hwy 20. I've heard a lot about it from friends that live in the area. I'll put it on my calendar for next year and see if my better half is interested. She does like seeing new places so she should be agreeable to it

Just a note to bump this up and remind anyone interested who is on the fence. If you've never driven the North Cascade Hwy it's one of my favorite roads in WA state.
Every year many sports car clubs visit the Methow Valley and over night in Winthrop, including Corvette, Porsche, Lambos & Ferari clubs transit this great PNW loop route. We as Corvette owners need to gather and add our cars to the list of attendees in 2015.
I'm shooting for 4 local couples to join us in their C-6's and C-7's for this GTG.

PS: My dad pays for some of my Ferari fuel. The good stuff, 87 octane!

So who's in for dinner Sat. Sept. 12th at the Freestone Inn near Mazama? Once I get a head count I will make a group reservation for those interested.
Sally and I will sponsor a Happy Hour (snacks, beer and local wines) at the lodge prior to dinner. Please let me know if you are a party of one or two.
Things are not looking real good at securing a shuttle bus to take us to and from the lodge out to the Inn and back after dinner. But I'm still trying to source a vehicle and driver.

Looking forward to Happy Hour....thanks! Is there a pool?
Regardless, I'm not driving after Happy Hour....especially if we do it right. Isn't there some place within walking distance for dinner? :

Small family run operation that has expanded from Winthrop to Wenatchee and Leavenworth restaurants. They are currently closed for remodeling following a near fatal incident a couple months ago when carbon monoxide nearly killed 5 workers while the restaurant was closed one morning. All 5 were med-e-vaced to either Wenatchee or Harborview for treatment for CO poising. All were staff or family. The problem has been resolved and they are using the spring down time to update the restaurant. Last I heard they expect to re-open for the summer in May some time.
How about pizza Friday evening at East 20 Pizza? Short walk from the lodge. They have indoor and outdoor deck dining if the temps are favorable. http://east20pizza.com/e20p/East_20_Pizza.html
Both are within walking distance but we'll need reservations for sure given the car show will have town and the eateries packed these two nights. So we'll need a head count.
