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!!
Where in Oregon are you?
My 21 year old son and I were just saying we'd like to attend that George W. Bush Inaugural Ball II. It would be the perfect way to send him off to the Navy (He leaves Jan. 24th, 2005). I wouldn't mind him meeting some sweet young conservative Freeper-ette (He doesn't know I said that!! LOLOL!!) while there. So keep me and Mr. sneakers and sneakers Jr. up on the details!
Hey Jim! You gonna be coming through Indiana, Pa.?

Glendale. MM 80 on 1-5. Blown up by ELF.
I don't understand?
Where in Oregon are you near?
MM 80 on I 5. Grants Pass is nearest "large" town, ELF blew us up about 4 years ago. Bandon one of our favorite places to go.
Got you!
I'll let you know as soon as I hear from Jim Robinson>
Heading to Alaska via Portland Oregon on the 9th. We leave California the 8th. So we just might be able to pull off the 9th depending on where it is.
Sorry we are going to miss the Coast Guard tour though! If we weren't on a set time schedule to see family and friends we'd stop and take our time, but we are on a tight schedule. May not even be able to do Portland, just depends on the time of day etc.
Thanks for the ping!!
