We are at it again, off to Pendleton, OR this time to the Northwest Regional Model A Roundup. The coupe is rested and fit, all the spare parts are tucked under the seat and in the rumble, and it's running like a top, so I think we are ready. Just need to pack a couple suitcases, and a few snacks and off we go on Thursday, July 19, 2007. We have about
15 intrepid Model A travelers in our group. We will be taking the long way round to get to Pendleton, up the California and Oregon coast on Hwy 101 all the way to Ilwaco, Washington and then up the mighty Columbia River basin to Pendleton. We are in no hurry, we will take 5 days to get there, with lots of stopping and sightseeing and poking around. So stay tuned, and we will keep you up to date.

Here we go again. Just a bunch of Model A's and good friends traveling in the slow lane. Of course there will be lots of time for chatting and eating on the way.

This will be just a Hop and a Skip for us, after the Looog one last year!!! Right Patti & Bob?
Look forward to any "A" trip. Know we'll make lots of memories...again.

Have a good trip. If you get to Lary and Joan give them a hug for me. Love, Mary
Happy trails! Can't wait to read your scintillating commentary and see all the fun pictures. Have fun! (And come back as fast as you can -- how could you leave me alone with the twins?!)
Hi Bob and Patti,
You will be on the road before we are, but we will meet you at the bar-b-que stop. I hear root beer floats await tired travelers.

Meneelys - As of today your house is still intact. I'm afraid to go inside! Tomorrow morning I'll take your ant spray and venture inside. All of the birds are well fed, fat an sassy. (so are my lizards) Don't ask! If you think you might have left something on, or somethink that may be leaking, be sure to let us know so that Al can take the appropriate tools down.
Your "neighbors on the hill", Mary and Al
