Arrow March Drive - Sharmock Shuffle

All right, we haven't been north in a while, so I've got a pretty good outline for the March drive ready to go. I need to check a few things to be certain on the exact route, but Chuckanut Drive will definitely be in the mix.

I'm assuming there may be a large number of people planning on being hung over on the 18th but I'd like to know what weekend works best for most of us.

I think you guys are getting a bit confused. This is the monthly drive I've been setting up since June of last year. There's still an April RX-7 meet. This is the drive for folks who care more about the driving than the cars. And there will still be an April monthly drive as well. This one, however, will be in March.

OK, it seems to be highway 11, running along the coastline from approximately Bellingham to Burlington, of which the northern half seems to be fairly rural.

here is chuckanut for anyone wondering.

chuckanut is pretty, the state patrol station at the start kinda scares me tho, especially with a group of cars taking to it.

Yes, it is a lot of fun when you can avoid the RV's and the Snow. March will still have much of that highway (especially the best bits) under more white crap than I care to take my car any where near.

I'm planning a sneak attack on Chuckanut Dr., so someone will have to be paying close attention to cause us any trouble. If I get my wireless modem back today, I'll have updates this evening.

are you talking about the 180 degree over the little bridge next to maybe a coffee shop ? <--its at the end if you start in bham and at the begining if you start near the state patrol side.
that turns usually a 30-35 mhp corner imo

Ah, excellent.

Won't the Chuckanut be full of Winnebagos? Or are they still hiding under their rocks?
