Going to Puyallup for MAFCA Meet...
 

For those of you going west to the 2014 MAFCA National Meet FROM THE EAST SIDE OF THE CASCADE MOUNTAINS AND DRIVING YOUR MODEL A...Which route are you going to be taking?

There are at least 3 ways to get there:

Going North of Mt. Ranier on I 90;

Going through Mt. Ranier Park on Highway 410;

Going south of Mt. Ranier.

Which route are you taking?

Thanks.

Pt Reyes National Seashore just north of SF.
Reds Headers at Ft Bragg.
Antique railroad ride at Tillimook Or. Also the famous cheese factory.
Museums, aquariums historical sites at Seaside,Or.
Antique trolley rides at Astoria and historical stuff museums.
If you head east to Portland from Astoria, there is probably more to see
other than scenery, than going up to Aberdeen and east from there.
If you are interested is watching racing there are several tracks along the way that will be running on weekends.
Once you get into the Puyallup area, Mt Rainier is probably one of the biggest
sight seeing attractions. You go right by my place going up there.

Pluck, are you trying to organize Model A convoys through the Cascades?

If I were driving a Model A from the East, I might be tempted to drive the Columbia River Gorge and then when through the Cascades head north.

If I am able to go, I will be driving a modern Ford with a trailer.

Pluck, I am taking my Martin-Parry woody this year. We are now in Bend getting it ready mechanically. Coming from the south using a trailer.

Re: Going to Puyallup for MAFCA Meet...
 

We're planning on bringing up our AA truck from the SF Bay area (on trailer); anyone headed up about the same time?

Re: Going to Puyallup for MAFCA Meet...
 

Dean,

I will be going with a modern Ford pickup towing a "open" trailer with my 1929 Coupe.

Have three choices of going to Puyallup from Walla Walla...see original post.

Hola Pluck! I am looking forward to seeing you there!! :)

Re: Going to Puyallup for MAFCA Meet...
 

Just bought a 2007 Ford F150 and a tilt-bed trailer last week, Model A is getting a ride from Pasco to Puyallup. After that, we're going to drive the Model A onto a ferry and go to Victoria Island for a few days.

The Model A is going to have to wait until fall before it gets new paint, too busy driving it.

Re: Going to Puyallup for MAFCA Meet...
 

Pluck, I read your original post. Thought that you were talking about coming from the East, not necessarily coming from Walla Walla. That is why I mentioned the Gorge for those driving a Model A coming from the East.

I have driven all the roads that you mention. In the old days I would just drive up a Forest Service road and camped where I please. Times have changed, so have I.

This time I will overnight in Spokane which is about half way for me. Then I will continue on I90 since I, too, will be hauling a trailer.

See you there Pluck.

Re: Going to Puyallup for MAFCA Meet...
 

I think that I will be going the I90 route also...Let's keep in contact...maybe we can rondivue somewhere on the Model A/AA trail.

Will be good to see you to Ben!

Steve: We are taking the I 90 route, leaving the Spokane swap meet Saturday pm and driving to central WA and grabbing a bed. Then up Sunday morning and up over the hill. Hope to see you on the trail.

Re: Going to Puyallup for MAFCA Meet...
 

Hey Mark, do you have any more information about that Spokane swap meet?

I do enjoy a good swap meet. Had a great time with Larry Seaman one time at that meet.

Re: Going to Puyallup for MAFCA Meet...
 

Dean: It is at the fairgrounds on Fri. Sat. and Sunday before the meet. I am driving the coupe over and Dad is bringing my pick up and trailer with a cabby body to deliver. Usually a good meet, but can get hot.

Re: Going to Puyallup for MAFCA Meet...
 

Steve...would love to come...too damn far from Iowa. How are onions doing....forgot when I bought them from you last time!

Re: Going to Puyallup for MAFCA Meet...
 

I'll be there but with my Model A and a friend's in my enclosed trailer.
