Fall Colors Tour 7 - Run to Bavaria
Yes, the longest running SVX tradition in the Pacific Northwest will continue!
This year will be Fall Colors Tour 7: Run to Bavaria After not running a driving tour for a couple of years, I'm going back to my roots and laying claim to my original creation now! Date will be announced as soon as the Vancouver guys figure out when the Columbia Gorge Run is. FCT7 will take place after that but before the snow sets in to the passes. Probably sometime in October to enjoy the fall colors. As the name implies, we will be driving to the Bavarian village in Leavenworth, WA. A fairly straightforward highway shot there, with an extra scenic and challenging loop part of the way back. Overall keeping it fairly simple and fun. Actual tour mileage and time will be a lot less than the past few - less gas, more time in Leavenworth, and allows for a later start/earlier finish for those that have to travel (and more time to hang out afterwards if anyone wants to make a weekend of it). Keep watching this space for updates and don't forget this is coming up soon!

Just a note- It won't be the Gorge again (since that was last year). If everything is still "the plan" Mark and I talked about, we have something "uber" in mind. When we get details I'll make sure one of us gets something posted ASAP! Talk to everyone soon!

Re: Fall Colors Tour 7 - Run to Bavaria
I talked to Mark on Saturday and sounds like he's pretty excited about doing something that should be fairly easy for everyone to attend (kinda in the "middle" distance-wise).
Just a matter of coming up with an interesting route, which is always a challenge, but at least in the NW it is a little easier than some other places.

Re: Fall Colors Tour 7 - Run to Bavaria
Have you thought about a date for this yet?
I have a friend coming from the Eas Coast and she really wants to see the Fall colors here. She will be here the end of Oct. And her b-day is Halloween

Re: Fall Colors Tour 7 - Run to Bavaria
My weekends in Oct are quickly filling up and I might do this 2nd weekend of Oct just because there is nothing else open.
I'm also shying away from the end of Oct as in the past we have had worse luck with weather the later we go in the month. Not to mention most of the leaves are dropped by mid month. Also, with going over the pass this year, snow is a consideration. Not the SVX doesn't mind snow, but some drivers might.

Re: Fall Colors Tour 7 - Run to Bavaria
Yeah still debating between Oct 11th or Nov 1st.
The 11th is just a couple weeks after Mt. St. Helens, so might be too close? But as mentioned, the 1st of Nov brings greater risk of worse weather, less colors.

Re: Fall Colors Tour 7 - Run to Bavaria
I agree. Even though it is right after the other meet, I think that would be the best time for colors and better driving conditions.

Re: Fall Colors Tour 7 - Run to Bavaria
October 11th it is!
Mark your calendars! Only a few weeks apart, but it will make up for our lack of other drives the rest of 2008. I'm debating the Leavenworth idea as it will be the middle weekend of Oktoberfest. It would definitely add to the Bavaria experience, but also make it even more impossible to find parking. hmmmmmmmm

Re: Fall Colors Tour 7 - Run to Bavaria
OK well I have a month to:
* Paint my 86 turbo sedan & get it ready to sell * Figure out why my 87 Turbo wagon runs like $*%*$ and fix it (hopefully) * Fix the dent in the front corner of the SVX Told the wife I'd wait to fix the SVX until I got the other cars fixed... These are the 2 that are left! If I don't quite get it that far, I will still try and come but I'll either be in my POS non-turbo Legacy wagon, or my wife's Turbo Legacy (Probably be that one since it has a way better chance of keeping up!)

Re: Fall Colors Tour 7 - Run to Bavaria
Hell I'd be game for this one for sure. I start a new job on the 22 and there is three weeks of training, which means that I would be available the weekends b/c training is Monday thru Friday. YESSSSS!!! I'm super excited now. I'd go up for it, then come back and start the official job. WOO!
