And what's up with Tahuya Ben, is that still on for Saturday? This thread has me
This thread has taken a few turns

We are still on for Tahuya we haven't set a time in stone. So far we are going to meet at Top Foods off the Union Street exit (SR16). Most of us are coming from the south end. If we were to get some people from the Seattle area and north they may take the ferry and we would meet them at the Safeway in Belfair. I think it is a 15 minute drive form the ferry to Belfair. So with that said what is the earliest you could be in Belfair or if you drove around what time could you meet at Top Foods?

So far there looks to be about 6 rigs.............this is going to be fun.

Shane, you may want to contact MNBOY since he will be coming from Everett.

He wrote <Ben, shoot me an Email and let me know who's going and I'll try to get back to you. I may not have access to YT for a couple days.>

I sent him a e-mail.

Assuming that there will be alot of other folks that have the 5th off, we should plan on getting an early start before the trail gets crowded- meet at the main parking lot at 7:30 am?
I could be there by 8:30. Maybe we should start a different thread for this one because I am getting

New thread...? What's that? All of YT should be on one thread so we don't have to browse all the topics. Kinda like IRC...

Lake Isabelle is a fun run. Those with lockers and aggressive tread on their tires will do fine. People with open-diffs (me ), can make it but it is less than ideal. It is a pretty gnarly trail for rigs on the semi-stock level, so expect trail damage...it could happen.

At this point I think I'm only going if it's dry up there.

For clarification, Shane's on the money- I mean the gravel lot to meet up. 8:30 sounds like a more reasonable time, so that's what its going to be. I'm leary about starting another thread, lets keep this in stealth mode- all kinds of bozos may show if they see a Reiter pit thread. To keep it on the down low, please PM me your email address if you are planning on coming.

It's a half-hour drive from Bremerton, an hour from Bainbridge. However, coming from the Seattle dock Bainbridge is the quickest route due to the shorter crossing time. It's usually best to pick a time and those of us taking the Ferry can work it out from there. From my place going through the Seattle dock I'm looking at 1.5-2 hours travel to Belfair so how does Belfair Safeway at 9 sound?

Brutal. I'm technically not back yet. ATM I'm sitting at the conference center waiting for my co-worker to finish up his last test, then we're off to the airport to sit with our thumbs up our asses waiting for a 7pm flight back to Seattle.

8:30 sounds much better to me too. Besides, we're talking about Reiter here, there's always bozos there. PM sent.
