So lets figure out a time and place for a meet and greet with all the semi-local guys around washington.

So what dates or days of the week work best for you guys?
i am open from the 19th of December to about the 2nd or 3rd of January cuz i am out of school on winter break. so any time in there would be good for me.

and we also need to pick a location.
i figure we can find some place like a restaraunt or something to meet at that is about the same distance for all of us. we all live kinda spread out so it may be a drive for all of us.

everyone interested post it and give your opinions!

I am new to this area so I would pretty much be good with anywhere.

well in Oak Harbor on Whidbey Island <if any of you guys know where that is!?! like 2 hours north of Seattle and about as west as you can get!!! but ya I go on leave the 28th so anytime before that and I'm down, oh and about the place we should be just see who lives the farthest (thats honestly wanting to have a "club-type" group and going to wheel!) and pick a spot right in the middle of us

Walker Valley would be closest for us Whidbey Island folks from Oak Harbor. The Reiter area would be more closely centered for the guys coming up from down south. I haven't been there in years so it would be a good time. I believe one of you guys mentioned going to Evans Creek around 26 or 27 December????? Actually, I go on leave the 19th and I don't go back to work until 5 Jan. If anybody goes to Evans Creek between those 2 dates, let me know. It's a bit of a drive but I want to go there BAD!!!! Let me know when and I will be there.

are we going to just meet up? i mean aside from going to wheelin' together...cuz i was thinking we were just going to do a meet and greet to hang out and have lunch or something and maybe talk about making some stickers and coming up with a name? maybe exchange numbers and check out everyones rig's but thats just me

Okay, Grip and Grin sounds good to me. Whatever or wherever is good for you guys. I'm back from my temporary duty in Vegas. Got the new Vibration Dampner put in last night. My XJ is ready to go tear up some trails, now.

aircrewallan

hey buck? what squadron you in? cuz my buddy just got back from from vegas and were Q-2 so pm me cuz i think were closer to eachother than i thought

I'm over on the Prowler side. Well, Growler, now. I have done sea tours in VAQ-131 and VAQ-138. I was most recently in VAQ-129. I, now, teach over at the Electronic Attack Weapons School. Pretty much wherever the new EA-18Gs go, I get to go. Which was why I got to tag along to Nellis and hang out in Vegas for 2 weeks on the GOV's dime.

alright well i dont know about you guys but i am pretty busy for the next week so i dont know if we will get a meet and greet put together before the 27th. but i figured we could just use the run on the 27th as our meet and greet.

we will be meeting in the fred myer parking lot in Bonney Lake the morning of the 27th. i dont have a set time right now but i will soon. please message me if you are interested in going so i can get an idea of how many people are going. there will be a few cherokees, a couple trucks, and my dads yellow cj-5 on a trailor all waiting at the fred myer.

Hey, will you be driving your dad's CJ or will your Dad be coming along driving his CJ? I was just wondering because since this will be our first PNW chapter of the Cherokee Forum, Meet and Greet, I want to check out everybody's XJs including yours.

98CherokeeSport

my dad will be driving his cj and i will be driving my xj. he is coming to pull us out if we get stuck!

hopefully i will have my new front bumper and rear bumper/tire carrier done and installed by then.
