Tristin Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 haha! q-tip, where do you live in Tacoma? Let's meet up before blue lake and drive down. Half the fun is the drive there! Basically right where the 5 and 512 meet. Im hoping to attend this year since I missed it last year. I wont know until a few weeks out to know when I can get the date off from work. Im getting the car ready just in case. 1 Quote Link to comment

bananahamuck Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 I attended Canby this year and had to leave my Datsun at home. I'd really like to make it to Blue Lake this year! I'd like to meet up with any Puget Sound guys and convoy down there. Hamuck, are you going? We might go ,, we can really only make 1 event a month as, whoever stays home for the weekend takes care of the youngest.. Get yer shit dependable ,, there is usually convoy down and there is usually a convoy back. Might be different rollers in each as the curmudgeons leave about the time of the drawings and the mellowers stay till they are told to please just leave.. Traffic coming north as far south as Vader can be bumper to bumper on Sundays in August so have your cooling system up to snuff for sure. Markie Mark and the funky 510 ,,,, i sent you a PM about summer jam Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 The south sound summer jam? Are the y doing that this year? Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 I hope so but last year it was posted months in advance so it probably isn't ,, but i still have my hopes up. Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Yeah, I haven't seen anything about it. I hope they do it again its a good show....other than the nanner dance that I witnessed at the end.... ...now back to blue lake talk!!! 1 Quote Link to comment
Stretch Bolts Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 I'm gonna make it out and take pictures. Blue Lake should be easier than Canby since the fronts of the cars are usually all visible. I should have the SUs on the 521 by then as well. Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 I've had 2 nice pictures of my car ever taken, both of which were any blue lake, maybe I'll get lucky and it will be 3 for 3 :D Quote Link to comment
danfiveten Posted June 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Well we definatly need mroe 510's to show up, i feel like most of the 510's show up to canby now, and we get everything else LOL. And some of u wagon and 4 door guys to register, we get 2 doors regestring, and then no wagons or 4 doors and have no awards to give out to them. Look forward to having you guys show up, i cant believe this will be our 30th year, ive been part of blue lake as long as i can remember, can never imagine a year without it. This show means alot to me because its been apart of my life, so look forward to seeing everyone there for our big year. Hell weve lasted through some peoples 4-5 marriages LOL Quote Link to comment

Busta Nut Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Is it worth the drive up for the day?? Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Its no party like canby, more laid back. Good show though, always a good turnout. Quote Link to comment
Just Joel Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Then red door after downtown ;) 1 Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Then red door after downtown ;) I might do that this year if I make Blue Lake. Every time Im down in PDX on a Sunday I always forget to go... Quote Link to comment
Just Joel Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 lol... I'm usually too lazy :p but I'm going this year. Need to get a huge group of Datos down there early and take over! 3 Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Is it worth the drive up for the day?? 26 hours of driving round trip for a 5 hour show, I guess it depends on how much of a Datsun fanatic you are. 2 Quote Link to comment
danfiveten Posted June 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 We used to have people make longer trips than that, back in the days when people would drive super long distances for shows when there were only blue lake and shasta. Now we got so many good shows in so many areas alot of people dont have to do the long car trips just to go to a datsun show. I remember when shasta was the only show in cali pretty much, and blue lake was the only one for up here, then canadas show for up there. We are so lucky nowadays with how many shows there are. 1 Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 I am so lucky to live in that "golden rectangle" between Canby, and Blue Lake, with at least two Nissan dealers who are happy to look up parts for 44 year old Datsuns! 2 Quote Link to comment
CorAce Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 I'll be making Blue Lake this year and I like the idea of bombing down to Red Door after that, sounds like fun. 2 Quote Link to comment
