Pics from South Puget Run

[EricG]

What a great Gathering!! Owen, Len, Dave (MXRoadster), Kathy and I all met at Joemma Beach State park to camp and run around Puget Sound. Owen and I were the only vessels to make it into the water, but Dave's Hornet was there on the trailer. I've got a bunch of pics I'm going to get somewhat organized...but here's a few highlights for now....

Owen, Len, & Mt. Rainier

I particularly like that last photo Eric! You do nice work... :D :D

Believe it or not, I was so lost in all the images, of the different waters, the scenery, the way the boats looked at speed that I actually ran out of gas coming home cause I was so lost in my head... it wasn't a problem though...... :)

...I think I recognize that dog :p ...man, What a "blast". Eric and Dave. You missed some nice water on Sunday around Jarrel Cove. 2-3 footers, small caps, in a following sea. I got my 20 minutes in'em and when looking back, (still right side up and floating) Owen said turn around, "I want some of that". It was NICE.

Again, thanks guys. That WAS FUN.

Eric,
Thanks for the pictures! Looks like you all had beautiful weather and scenery. I've been to Portland, OR once on a business trip, but didn't have the time to go on to the shore. Hope to get back out to the West coast again. If Owen can make the trip to KY, I'd sure like to give the West coast a shot sometime. :)

So that's a definite six boats for next year???
Scott, this place is magic.... wink

Wow, what a great weekend. I’m sorry I missed the Sunday run, but I did get the manifolds off and should know something soon.

Owen, good thing you have those extra gas cans on the Jr. heah… wink

Here's two more shots

I wondered if you might like that Photo Owen....I'm just glad you have the original paint job....it wouldn've been tougher with checkered flags and stuff... wink

Great pictures, but being there is even better.
Was stationed there for 4 years with the USAF.
Can just imagine the view from those boats.
One of the most beautiful places I have been.

I Know you've been waiting for this Owen - so here's the MPEG of the Formula JR I took. The quality is pretty bad because I was experimenting with the camera....I'll have it all figured out before the Scramarama.....

Eric, was that when I drove by in the FJ...
after we left from Jarrel Cove area, after being tied to the tree, and then went down towards Herron Island, which I can see us passing by, on our way back to Joemma?

[Formula Jr]

Alittle blurry on the vid, but still; very, very cool!! :D Wished you had let me take a vid of your boat....
I think that WAS Len driving.

P.S. Thanks for speeding up the replay setting. wink
