Sandy and I are planning a trip for later summer into fall. We are flying to Seattle WA. and taking a train trip south to San Diego CA. We plan to stop in a number of places for a day or two rent a car and hope to meet up with people along the way to say hello or maybe fly a kite. So far we are planning on late August or early sept. to start.
So if you think you can handle hanging out with a couple of hobos for a day let me know.
I do plan to bring a couple kites but no buggy. Sadly that would be tough on the plane ride!
Dave.

You should try to make it to SOBB. I'm finally going to make it this year. It's at Seaside Oregon.

You should definitely make SOBB a stop. There will be no shortage of buggy's for ya to use.

I would be happy to taxi you around Seattle when you fly in. let me know if you need a buggy and kites.:D

Thanks Guys Sandy is checking out dates and directions. SOBB would be a cool stop if it works out.
Jeff it would be cool to spend some time with you. Although Rich warned me about your driving on YOUR familiar roads!!! He said don't fall asleep!!

Jeff are you planning to go to SOBB? My wife made me ask. You guys understand right?

If the train is the one I took a long time ago it's called the Starlight Express. Don't expect it to run on time and it will be enjoyable. I found it a bit frustrating on the way down but accepting it would run late made it a joy on the way back up.

I hope to see you and Bob at SOBB but I can't predict my future at the moment.

Dave, you are going to have a blast if you go to SOBB, such a beautiful beach, the guys are all great, and as long as Jeff isn't on a mission to get to someplace, his driving isn't too bad! :D

For the rest of you on the West coast, don't miss the chance to hang out with one of the East Coast finest! Such an awesome guy to be around. Very laid back and great to talk to. Many years in the kiting world.

Dave have a safe and enjoyable trip!

You should definitely make SOBB a stop. There will be no shortage of buggy's for ya to use.

OK another big question for SOBB. Where do you guys stay when there? Is there camping? I will post this on the SOBB page as well.

OK this is coming together like a good "CHOWDA" We will be flying in the week before SOBB and heading up to Bellingham for a few days to visit some family. Then back down to Seattle and on from there.
Rich thanks for the kind words about me. I hope there all not to upset when they find out I'm a jerk!!

When you are near Florence Give me a call I'll lend ya my buggy and take you out to the dunes if I'm not working.

Did your parole officer okay it for you to go out of the state?

Isn't that how you got into trouble in the first place?

You think my driving is bad? I will never let my wife drive the motorhome let alone my truck, she drives a Honda Del Sol that is lowered and has a built engine. You should see the looks on the punk boys who try to race here and after she cleans there clock she roles the dark tinted window down and smiles at the dummy as they see they were just beat by a grandma.
Rich, glad you didnt jump out of the window after you woke up.hahahahahahaha
I wasnt planning on going to SOBB but I would be happy to take you and the wife, that way I can prepare you for the Oregon crowd.:D
besides you may need a buggy or quiver of kites. any size, model, brand, color you prefer?

Brian you have me confused with you!! I know every one thinks we're twins.
Jeff we can take a train there I think. Ken says just make sure we don't expect to be there on time. We know all about this as we use AMTRACK here on the east coast and they are either really late or just a bit to early to miss it.
And I met your wife. I can see her doing that!!

Brian the only ones I'm upsetting are my Ex-wife (bonus) and all my Drs. as we have had to move some appointments around. Your Parole officer said you have to stay home. And pick up garbage on Nahant beach for 3 weekends.

Hey Dave glad to see you are not slowing down. Have fun out there buddy. See you in the fall...

You know, with this current Taliban uprising, you might wanna trim that beard... or at least carry your birth certificate !!:D

Dave's a great guy y'all, ...we met him @ JIBE last year and he's super cool... Always willing to keep your beach chair's company while you're out riding...

Have a great trip Dave!

I'm not allowed to trim my beard. It's my form of ID. Remember that Greek guy who got his straighten from his hair? I get my sarcasm from my beard. Plus it's almost at a good length again.
Soliver I was happy to keep your chair warm last year. But this year I'm a bit more active. I have been in the buggy quite a bit. And haven't gotten my hair or beard caught in the wheels yet. It could happen soon though.
