PNW2007 Day 6

[soareyes]

Plan is to leave Packwood at 8:00, but first Dion needs an alignment:

The pipe wrench ended up being the right tool for the job:

No lack of advice from fellow Seveners:

Note to self: Next trip .. remember to take pipe wrench.

 

BTW: I have the exact same Yokohama tires!

The first part of the day was through Mt. Ranier park:

Hopefully Ed will post the shot he was taking. I can think of some interesting captions for this photo, but maybe I better not post them:

Seven Sevens on the way out of the park:

Not Ed's shot but I took a similar one:

Today was exhaust day: Ed's broken exhaust mounting bolt (hose clamp fix) and Louise and Tom's exhaust broken straight through at the collector (no picture but that will need welding).

A couple more before dinner:

 

We were out of the forest into the desert in just a few miles:

Goodnight! :cheers:

 

hmm, can't post any more pics. Mazda, are we out of space?

 

 

 

 

[JohnCh]

Doh! I just discovered that Canon doesn't make Vista compatible drivers for my camera. Oh well, it looks like no pics from me on this thread. :banghead:

Nope. Working OK for me. What does it do when you try to upload a pic?

Guys, thanks for the posts and pix. Wasn't Chuck Spera supposed to meet up with you guys? I had sent some club swag out with him on this assumption...also, exactly how quick is John's Duratec car?

 

And didn't someone else (I think the guy who bought Rex's Yellow car) have that exhaust cracking problem too? I think it happened on his drive home from Arizona. Used that fiberglass tape stuff to patch it up IIRC.

[JohnCh]

Al, my car isn't that quick (it only has about 210hp). Now Ed's car...that's a different story

 

-John

[soareyes]

Al, Chuck wasn't able to make the trip.

 

edit - Mazda, I guess loading pics is working ok, test picture of me on the 2005 tour:

[Al N.]

Stan - you fit in a Seven? Wow.

 

Do you guys know if Chuck sent the stuff out or should I follow up with him...it's a shame if not, I had set aside some notebooks and stuff for you all.

[stevet]

Hopefully Ed will post the shot he was taking. I can think of some interesting captions for this photo, but maybe I better not post them:

 

I think that's called the Lotus Position

 

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Al,

 

Chuck shipped the goodies to me, I gave them to Gert, and he distributed them at the kick-off barbeque.

 

Thanks,

Woody

Chuck has a seriously ill family member and had to cancel. He was really looking forward to it. Hopefully he will be able to make Run N Gun.

Small correction....Yes I got the stuff from Woody but no, I did not distribute this yet because people have little luggage space. It is on the support truck and I will distribute the goodies as we part ways.
