bananahamuck Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 I must say,, the drive from Soap lake to Grand Coulee dam is one of the best in the state of Washington. Quote Link to comment
crackerjack69 Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Just passed through Grand Coulee on my way back to Portland :D I'll be moving up that way soon, would be nice to know some Ratsun folks up there. When is this supposed to take place? I'll be headin that way again after Canby. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Its a bit of a drive, but if planned out I have no issues making the drive. Id have to find a place to crash there so since I probably wont want to do 9hrs of driving in one day. Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted May 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 I must say,, the drive from Soap lake to Grand Coulee dam is one of the best in the state of Washington. Agreed! There is so many beautiful back roads around here! Just passed through Grand Coulee on my way back to Portland :D I'll be moving up that way soon, would be nice to know some Ratsun folks up there. When is this supposed to take place? I'll be headin that way again after Canby. No one "passes" through Grand Coulee ;) You have to come here intentionally! Are you moving to GC?

crackerjack69 Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 No, moving up near Tonasket/Oroville/Wauconda. I ended up taking a wrong turn and tried to correct it by headin up Hwy 21. Looked good till we got up there a ways and found there's a ferry that only runs 2x a day >:( had to back track a bit and ended up crossing at GC dam. Sucked wasting so much time, but beautiful scenery! Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 It a pretty good haul from our side but might make the trip. Naner is right, thars a great drive, too bad I've only done it in a truck Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 What month do the apricots in George and what may be the worlds largest cantaloupes ripen? Woulds sure love to buy me some off the back of a truck as long as we`re over that way...I realize this isn`t YELP but i was thinking maybe you could plan it around that time of year.. God i just made myself hungry thinking of buying some Soap lake beat-up chevy truck on the side of the road fruit... 2 Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Maybe merge this with the drive that mntgoat has a thread for? Quote Link to comment

freekwonder Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Not sure my wife would be up for that long of a ride in the Datsun yet, but I'm sure my son would be. Quote Link to comment

Guest Rick-rat Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 set a date and we can see if it will work 1 Quote Link to comment
crackerjack69 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 I'd be up for that. I spent a lot of last spring and summer in Omak/Oroville, know that drive by heart! I live up by there now. I'm by Beaver Lake between Wauconda and Cheesaw. I hit up Tonasket and Omak pretty often for supplies. I saw an orange 510 in Tonasket the other day, was stoked!!! I'm very much wanting to do this. Who is down? Anyone in the surrounding area? I would wanna cruise down from the above mentioned areas once my goon is rollin. I could bring some of my secret recipe buffalo stuffed burgers to grill, and some homebrewed apple cider :D Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted July 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 It doesn't matter if you drive a datsun down. I'd just like to hang out with some people that like the same shit I do. :) How about Saturday, August 3rd? Quote Link to comment
Guest Rick-rat Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 That works for me Quote Link to comment
