Fiat Enthusiasts Northwest Capital Tour
Saturday September 19th
Sponsored by: Diana and Bert Cripe
Times: 9a.m. for breakfast, 10:15 for driver/navigator
meeting
The route is ~70 miles long and takes ~2.5 hours. There
will be no gimmick questions, its not a poker run, just a
simple and pleasant tour through forests, farmland, urban,
and suburban areas. We have altered the route from the
one run in 2006. We will end the tour for lunch at
McMenamins Spar Café (http://www.mcmenamins.com) in
oldtown Olympia. This was a hot spot in the 1930s and
40s and it retains much of its charm (meaning it probably
hasnt been remodeled in its 70 years)!
The plan is to meet at I-5 exit 114. Exit to the right
(southbound direction), the ramp goes up and over the
freeway. After the traffic light you can turn right into
the commercial area where there is a gas station and two
restaurants, among other businesses.
Driver/navigator meeting at 10:15 a.m. and on the road at
10:30. Diana and I will hang around in case someone is
late if you call us on our cell phones at 360-731-8758 or
8768 to inform us beforehand. Anyone wanting to eat
breakfast at one of the two restaurants there can arrive
earlier OR you can decide on a different place amongst
yourselves. I have no idea of the quality of either place
at exit 114. We expect to arrive about 9 a.m. and intend
to try Normas Breakfast and Burgers.
And as is usual, bring any car that you have to the event
- Italian cars are not required!
