We're working on finalizing the plans for our next series of road trips on our coast to coast freedom tour. We hope to visit all 50 states during the full tour (may take a couple two or three years to accomplish this) and visit as many of our chapters as we possibly can.
We were hoping to visit all of the Pacific Northwest states this year including Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah and possibly the Dakotas, but Chris is not going to get enough time off from his classes, so this trip will be broken up over several weekends and limited to the Pacific States. We'll have to complete the rest of the Northwestern States trip next year.
Here is our tentative itinerary:
July 23 - 24 - San Diego - to meet with the San Diego Chapter and welcome the USS Ronald Reagan to her new homeport and to man a voter registration booth. Dinner on Saturday with the San Diego FReepers.
July 31, Aug 1 - Ventura and Simi Valley - to meet with the Southern California Chapters and tour the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. BBQ on Sunday afternoon.
August 7 - 8 - Seattle and Tacoma - to meet with the Puget Sound Chapter. BBQ on Sunday afternoon.
August 9 - Portland - would like to meet for dinner with the Portland area FReepers on Monday night, the 9th of August.
August 10, 11 - Lincoln City and Bandon - lunch in Lincoln City on the 10th and then on to Bandon to meet with 68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub (Tonk) and tour his Coast Guard base on Wed the 11th.
Aug 12 - 15 - Northern California Coast - Eureka, Fort Bragg, Mendocino, Monterey - hope to meet up with Syncro somewhere along the Ave of the Giants and caravan down the Northern California Coast from Eureka to Monterey. Would be grate to have a FReep Meet in Monterey!
We're also planning on traveling across the South in January and down into Florida, then caravan up the Eastern Coast to Washington, DC, in time for the Free Republic George W Bush Inaugural Ball II. Woo hoo!
And then next Spring, Summer and Fall, we'll make three more trips to visit as many of the remaining lower 48 states and chapters as we possibly can and then it's on to Canada, Alaska and Hawaii the following year!!
BTTT!!!!!!!
But actually a computer genius, he apparently doesn't allow remote hosting.
His website gets interest from around the world, so he needs to protect his server space.
The only way around that is to put the URL in the address window and open, then it appears on the thread.
Too much work...here it is re-hosted (Thanks to Dr. Zoo):
JK that is GRATE, yer tri-tip is the best!
I went to the "tree house" website (was up wandering around at 2:00 AM with nothing to do, LOL), sent your nephew an e-mail too. Very interesting site, and very cool tree house! Don't think I'd want to be in it in a storm though. :-)
Too bad we'll be out of town when you're in Ventura County, Jim n' Freewheelin' Freepers! By the time you get to Seattle area, we'll have returned home from that area! Are you driving? In a recognizable (labeled) van, bus, or motorhome? If so, we'll HONK LIKE CRAZY when we see you en route! Have a WONDERFUL and SAFE trip--you're going to plant powerful seeds to yield a FABULOUS voting crop on your way, for Bush-Cheney and all conservatives in Presidential Election 2004!!!
Best regards,
SoCal JB
Also, I need to know what time you want to eat as the marinate needs to be exactly 27-1/2 hours before cooking.
:-)
And no wonder my tri-tip doesn't come out as good as yours.
I just cut it off the cow and throw it in the microwave...for 27.5 hours.
:>)
Ok We see you are going to be just up the Road from us in Lincoln City for lunch....Is this a open invatation lunch or private as it does not say where in Lincoln City lunch is.

Dang!! I LOVE Lincoln City - we were just there over July 4th, had a great time. Where are you having lunch? I would suggest the Blackfish Cafe or the Wildflower Grill, but Mo's down on the bay is great too. Wish we could be there!
Our timing is terrible! We're gonna be at a family wedding in Bakersfield July 31-Aug 1 :-(
