Default Leavenworth Beer Run 2017 - July 29th.

Historically the driest date, so it should be a nice dry and fast drive out there. The wife and I never spend the night there, but if you want to that's up to you all. Now I hope since we didn't do this last year that we get great participation this time! Someone else can add the Hotel info, I bet they'll be happy to see Vettes coming back again.

So save the date and lets set up some meeting spots and lets have a great drive out there!!!

I live on the dry side of the mountains (just outside of Chelan) and it would be nice to meet a few folks from the West side. I'll keep and eye on this for where you plan to lunch in Leavenworth.

We usually eat at that place with the big Pretzels and Hot Dogs.....for those of us in the south we tend meet at the Safeway in North Bend at 7:30-8am. We take I-90 to the 97 and have fun driving it all....

Would love to come hang with you guys for a few hours but I've got plans Saturday and can't make it down for a catch up visit. The Corvette needs some exercise since it spent all last year in the garage as we were out playing in BC, the Yukon, AK, Alberta and Glacier N.P. in our RV. 3 months on the road then came home for a week to do laundry and repack before we left on a month cruise around the Panama Canal and hanging with friends in the southeast USofA. Next cruise is coming up in the near future. We've got to many ways to play.

Where is Fred. Did he sell his car? I know he was talking about it but I've not been here in a long time.

Unfortunately, Fred passed away about a year ago. It was a shock to us because some of us had seen him not too long before he died. He did sell his beautiful Victory Red, highly modified Z06 to someone, I believe in Oregon.

He is missed.

WOW, that is a shock. I had no idea. Like I said I was out of the state and country much of 2016 when he passed. A truly great guy who I always enjoyed talking Corvette and aircraft with when our paths crossed.
