Default Re: Ok, I'm in! MAFCA NW regional meet in Bend, OR

IN the 80's we drove to a Model A meet in Bend, OR.
On the back of my Model A I put a big sheet of white cardboard on the rear of my bumper mounted leather trunk. On the cardboard I had in big black letters,
"Mend We Must, Bend Or Bust"
There must have ben a hundred cars that passed us with thumbs up and hands waving. We went through many states, into Canada, Victoria Island, drove the A on to a ferry boat,drove Mucho many miles and on the return trip to California, 5 miles from home, the crankshaft broke in half at on the center main. I still consider that one of the luckiest days of my live. If that baby would have busted in Canada, I'd still be up there!!

Maybe Ford Barn members could meet one morning at the Old Mill district. This would be a nice parking lot on a week day morning to meet at. (Or the mall parking lot across from the river house, but, that's just a lot!)

Not sure how good these links work! LOL

That's kind of on the wrong side of the river. If you look across the river to the right, in the photo, there is a big parking lot. That is the lot for the Mall, but also for the theatre, so in the morning would be pretty empty.

It would be more accessible.

Pretty much any of those in the Old Mill would work.

Even the River Bend park, on the far left with circle drive. There is a handy restroom there!

I am going round the Bend also, hopefully will bring 3 other cars from MT with me. It would be fun to get together one day and put some faces with the handles.

See you there, I will be judging vehicles in areas 18, 19, 20 and 21, helping run the Hubley race on Thursday and with my fellow club member on Wednesday putting on the seminar "Servicing your speedometer" we put this seminar on at the 2010 Meet in Vancouver.

See you there, have a safe trip and keep the oily side down!!

I'll be there in my black 29 business coupe, and I'll put this sign on my windshield. Stop by and say hello!
