Bash on Vashon and June SAMOA Meeting

Schedule:
11:30 - 12:30 Meeting with donuts and coffee
12:30 - 2:00 Drive around Vashon Island
2:00 - 3:00 Lunch at Back Bay Inn

Where to Meet:
The Vashon Island Coffee Roasterie, located on the corner of Vashon Highway and Cemetary Road (19529 Vashon Highway). This is in the middle of the Island, about 15 minutes from the north or southend ferries.

Ferry Connections to Vashon:
From West Seattle just south of Lincoln Park at the Fauntleroy Ferry Dock. Ferry leaves 10:10 and 10:45 a.m.

Southworth (Kitsap) Ferry leaves at 10:00 and 10:20

Tacoma (Point Defiance to Talaquah) Ferry leaves at 10:10 and 11:00

Either time will bring you in time for the meeting. Be sure to get to the ferry dock early enough, as Vashon High School Graduation also takes place on the 14th, with may increase traffic. Tickets are roundtrip and include car and driver only. Passengers must pay extra (65 and older passengers can get senior rates).

ANY QUESTIONS, CALL PETER AT 206 683 1017

I like to know how many cars and passengers will show
up on Vashon, so I can make some further plans.

Peter, Robin and I will be taking the 10:20 from Southworth. See you at the roasterie. Also, if anyone wants to meet at Port Orchard Shari's on SR-16 & Sedgewick Rd for breakfast let me know.

[Dixminion]

We'll join Ed at the park at 9:30. Don

[Cheleker]

Pres and the Staff Car will be there for sure.

Please note that Peter has picked out a new place for us to lunch this year. It is a no host lunch (SAMOA will be picking up the tab for the following two meetings/BBQs, but not this one) at what I'm sure you'll find to be a good spot to finish the day's adventures. Even if you don't stay for lunch, stop for a while, have a coffee and park your Mini with the rest for one last photo opportunity.

[Peter J Larsen]

Just want to encourage all of you to come to lunch - Back Bay is a great place for lunch and given good weather, we can sit outside on the deck. There will be a choice of hamburgers, chickenburgers, veggieburgers,or brats and includes fries and coleslaw or potato salad and a nonalcoholic drink all for $10 each. ALcoholic drinks are also available! Peter

Just to make things a little more interesting for those traveling to The Bash, the very low tides are causing problems. According to today's The Seattle Times, some runs (especially Vashon) will impose load restrictions for some vehicles, like those "with ground clearance of less than 14 inches" and "some small sports cars." Before we set ferry crossing times, we'll need to check tides!

[Peter J Larsen]

I checked with the Wash state ferry
webside for june 08 they have very
low tide:
6.4.- 6.7.08. and
6.17.08 - 6.3o.08.
Trucks with a clearance of less than
14" should not travel from and to
Northend vashon and Tacoma side.
So I hope weare ok for June 14,
but I will check during week too.
Actually I will go off the Island to-\
morrow and checks things out.
