In Response To: Port Townsend and R2K8 (Paul G. Jacobson)

: That was my origin for the 2006 trip.(Just west of Chicago) And I didn't get
: the prize for coming the greatest distance, either. A pleasant week
: driving out, and about a week coming back, as I detoured through
: California. I came through Sturgis SD the week before bike week and got a
: taste of what was to come--then decided I didn't want to go back that way
: (during bike week). I foresaw way too much traffic.

: I got to Port Townsend a day early for my reservation at Fort Warden, had
: lots of time to tour the lovely town, and camped one night at the county
: fair grounds. Next time I go I'll pitch my tent at the fairgrounds, and
: drive, or ride a bicycle the mile to the beach. The distance is trivial
: and the cost is far less. I think I paid $3 for a tent site.

: E-mail me if you are interested in going there in August for R2K8. I think
: I'll go back, but it is too far off to make definite plans now. I wouldn't
: mind having someone (or two or three) to travel with and split the gas. (I
: spent about $300 on gas for the round trip.) With more than one driver the
: trip could be done in a comfortable 4 days each way.

Paul, sounds like you're in my back yard (so to speak), where west of Chicago?
