We're doing a road trip August 17th-21st (possibly longer) and all EvoXForums members are invited/encouraged to join us!

A little background: Every year our group here in Washington does an Ocean Shores cruise from the Tacoma Mall (in Tacoma; go figure) to Ocean Shores. After this years cruise we will be road tripping to at least San Francisco. I have a professional photographer friend who will be accompanying us and taking photos along the way and at the beach. I believe a few other people with some photography skills will be going as well for at least the Ocean Shores leg.

Schedule as it stands today:

• Saturday August 17th:
  • 9:00AM - Pre-meet at Krispy Kreme Doughnuts in Tacoma, WA (Tacoma Mall parking lot)
  • 10:00AM - Drivers Meeting (**MANDATORY**).
  • 10:30AM to 12:30PM - Ocean Shores cruise - Driving to Ocean Shores, WA from Tacoma Mall
  • 12:30PM to Dusk - Ocean Shores. Photo shoot, beaches, meet, and shenanigans.
• Sunday August 18th:
  • South Sound Summer Jam - http://southsoundsummerjam.bigcartel.com/
• Monday August 19th:
  • Ocean Shores to San Francisco - Taking Highway 101 (and other more westerly highways when necessary) all the way down and enjoying the scenery. This will be an all day road trip with many stops for photos and food along the way.
• Tuesday August 20th - Wednesday August 20th:
  • Hanging out in the Bay Area.

If you plan to go on the Ocean Shores cruise I believe there will be an event posted on the NWEvo Facebook group. If there isn't or you don't know what the group is then PM Tye1 on this forum. If you plan on going on the road trip portion please chime in here or PM me.

(Tye backed out on the road trip because he didn't win the Monopoly game)

This will happen whether you guys go to it or not but you should totally go cause it'll be worth it.

Oh and... bump.

Bump.

Still looking for some Idaho, Oregon, Canada, and NorCal people to chime in.

My favorite leisure drive of all time, 101 down the California Coast. Have fun guys!!!!

Ya it's a great drive. If you're a Northwest person you really shouldn't miss this trip it's going to be a lot of fun.

did you mean 101 to highway 1 along the coast? also they have a FB group called bay area evos for whoever was interested in this info.

From our perspective we say 101 'cause that is generally the one on the coast. Whenever it switches to other ones we'll be on it. Thanks for the FB info someone will check it out here in a bit (I would but I don't use that crap).

Everyone.. there is only 3 weeks left until we do this. If you want to go to any part of this please say something! We will have a photographer present for the Ocean Shores -> San Francisco leg for rolling shots, group shots, etc. You don't want to miss this!

A lot of the Seattle people are going to the South sound Summer Jam event the next day (18th), for those making the Ocean Shores Cruise, if you dont' want to drive to Cali or back home, you should stay the night and attend, its for a good cause.

Hmm... That might fit into the schedule pretty well since Vegas is looking like a no at this point. Is it a big show though? Looks like it will have a ton of variety but I've never heard of that track and from the looks of it it's just a 3/8 mile oval and a lot of parking lot?

First post updated to reflect changes in schedule. We have a small beach house that we're renting for the weekend at OSC (about 20 miles up the coast) and we will likely be building a bonfire and throwing a small party Saturday night. Sunday will now be South Sound Summer Jam with the road trip portion commencing on Monday. Tye just backed out on the road trip (after guaranteeing that he would go...) so we only have two Evos confirmed as going so far. If anyone else is planning to go on the San Francisco portion please let me know soon so we can figure out the logistics.

We will be doing photo shoots at Ocean Shores (day & night) and in San Francisco so this is worth your time! Come on guys... it's summer! Where y'all at?!
