Larry LordI'm putting together a Prowler Fourth of July trip from SoCal to Seattle with a return down the Pacific Coast Highway to Bodega Bay.
Departure will be from Colton at Noon on Thursday June 29, 2017
Return date will be Sunday July 9, 2017

Overnight stays will be:
6/29 Las Vegas NV
6/30 Wendover UT
7/1 Meridian UT
7/2 Yakima WA
7/3 Tacoma WA
7/4 Seattle WA
7/5 Florence OR
7/6 Eureka CA
7/7 Walnut Creek CA
7/8 Bakersfield, CA
7/9 Colton CA

The trip will be mostly on two lane roads with many interesting stops along the way.
Gambling, Ghost towns, Great Basin Park, Wendover Air Museum, Bonneville Salt Flats, Shoshone Falls, Races at Meridian Speedway, Apple orchard tour, Mt. Rainier National Park, LeMay America's Car Museum, Normandy Park Fourth of July parade with Roger Freeman, huge fireworks show over Commencement Bay, Evergreen Air Museum, Spruce Goose tour, Loleta cheese factory, Avenue of the Giants driving tour of the redwoods, Oregon Dunes, scenic California coast driving for 3 days, Blackhawk Museum and finally a race at Kern County Raceway Park on Saturday 7/8 to meet Johnny Beddingfield and watch him race a car that I sponsor.

This tour is like all of the tours I plan.
There is no cost to join the tour.
You can feel free to fall in or out at any time. Stay with the group or find your own side adventures along the way.

If you are interested, send an e-mail to Larry@fmbto.com and I'll send you an outline along with motel information.

RPLWish that I could go along! If you have an idea when you'll be at Shoshone Falls, CJ might be able to stop by and say hello.
Larry LordThat would be nice Bob. We would like to see you both again. I sure wish we could have made it back to the 20th event.

We will be in Twin Falls from about 11 AM - 3 PM.
I'm not sure the exact time yet but I can call as we get closer. Are you going to be in Colorado? Maybe you can join us for the strip to Seattle / Tacoma for the fourth?

CJBob won't be there but I will be. I am leaving on June 20 for my granddaughters' birthday and will be there four weeks. My son works in Shashone
Larry LordThat's perfect! I'm sorry Bob won't be there but we would love to have you visit to say hello. I hope you're feeling better. I saw the note about the groin strain. Ouch!
WildCatboy, don't give much notice

Guess you don't want as many tag a longs as your 2001 invitation to join you on vacation.

What did we have in deadwood? 58 Prowlers

Have a great trip!

Wildcat,

I was trying to be sure not to conflict with the 20th anniversary event. I would have loved to have been there with everyone. It looks like it was a great event.

Here's an idea with two options for you:
(1) Just fly into Las Vegas to meet us on Thursday. Rent a car for the week then after the Saturday Bakersfield stay, just return your car to Las Vegas and fly home on Sunday.

(2) Just fly into Ontario to meet us on Thursday. Rent a car for the week then after the Saturday Bakersfield stay, just return your car to Ontario and fly home on Sunday. With this option you can extend the time for some rest at the mountain house if you like.

There you go! It's just that simple!

Jim R.Larry

Sounds like a great plan,I would have added this to my plans. Just went to California.. OOPs.

Maybe next year... longer notice would be nice...

Enjoy the ride.

ed monahanI wish we were a little closer as that is one trip I would love to make, in a Prowler or on a m/c.

I'll make you the same offer I made Wildcat,

MIKE GATLINOnly previous plans keep us from joining you Larry. We would love to renew great memories from the trip to visit Roger in Seattle some years ago. Beautiful part of the country and a great bunch to run with. Our trips with you guys, Grand Canyon Tour, Crazyhorse Tour, Deadwood, SD a couple of times, Route 66 twice and the Seattle run were just the best.

Hate to miss this one.

RPLLarry's "vacations" are always fun. Sometime a 100 Prowlers join the trip. Seriously, these are bucket list trips! Larry does know how to have a good time.
ed monahanL.L. thanks for the offer but we can't swing it. Too much going on the next few weeks, as usual. Have fun, as I am sure you all will.
DublinOHWould love to make this as Larry's trips are always top notch. We'll definitely look up our Prowler friends out on the left coast next summer when Amanda and I are out your way.... Have a safe, uneventful, wonderful time.
Larry LordThanks Steve!
I wish you could have been here with us.
We're in Meridian ID this morning. Tonight we'll be staying in Yakima then tomorrow going to Mt Ranier National Park before we meet up with Marvin Gohl then tour the LeMay Museum in Tacoma. July Forth will be the Normandy Park parade then a relaxing day at Roger and Bev Freeman's place on Puget Sound.

It's been a fun trip so far. If anyone wants to follow us along the way they can either go to Judy Rogers or Larry Lord on Facebook. We're posting pictures every day.

DublinOHLooks like a good time. Missing a few regulars like Stallings and Jim Angle?? Tell Jim, Tony, and Vince I said hello. Don't recognize the orange car...Does Vince still ride shotgun? I know he used to like your coonskin tail dangling in his front grill.
Larry LordWe miss you Steve! You would have enjoyed this trip. Jim and Jim couldn't make but Jim did. :-)
The orange is Mike Rutherford. Mike bought that car in St. Louis while driving his black car on one of our previous trips.
Vince doesn't get too far off my back bumper.
DublinOHWish I could have made it. I remember Mike. I believe I was around when he bought that car in St. Louis. Speedway motors as I recall. Have a safe trip home!
Larry Lord

Yes, we do what it takes to have a good time and explore new places!
