Default GOOD weather weekend in the PNW, up for a drive?

Looks like we will have SUN, dry roads, & ok temps.

Anyone in the PNW up for a little drive & 993 gathering? I'm dying to get the C4S out!

Thinking about a 30-1hr drive to a pastry/coffee shop, & just hang out. Or we can do a longer more fun drive. :big bye:

UPDATE
8am Griot's Garage
Griot's Garage
3333 South 38th Street
Tacoma, WA 98409

Meet up hang out, then head out for a fun drive to a great pastry/coffee shop, with great roads back.

Guys, as usual everyone wants a different day. Kind of surprised about the response!

Sunday is SUPERBOWL Sunday, so that will make for empty roads, but not sure who would wan to go. If you guys want to make ti a longer day, I know a couple of awesome German pubs, & a kick *** Craft Beer/hotdog spot.

Here are the routes I'm thinking, meet up around 8:30 leave around 9am.

Brain fart, Griot's is also doing their C&C on Saturday. Sounds like a PERFECT meeting point for a short drive!

I thought everyone was leaning towards Sunday? The Griot's deal is tomorrow.

Superbowl kickoff is at 3:30 on Sunday.

What do you have to do on Saturday AM?

I guess we can do one drive on Sat, & save the other for Sunday? I'm down, really need to get out of the house!!!
